Reply to Could I get feedback on the banks in the area? by easynslutty

Kind of late seeing this post but Citizens bank had a promo yesterday and today for 4% APY if you're depositing $10,000 or more into a Quest money market account.

I've personally only used Citizens bank. They've been good enough for most banking needs.

Why has nobody said chase? They're great. Low cost, great customer service, tons of branches and financial products. I had santander and citizens before that...citizens is trash tier but santander was...ok. Oh and webster...which is awful. Chase is great tho, been about 5 years now.

Have banked with Navigant, Citizens, BoA, and TD Bank. TD Bank's policies exceed all of them, Navigant's in particular by a mile. Their overdraft policy is far more accommodating and generous than most credit unions, their online banking is lightning quick, and whenever I have an issue, I call the branch and they are quite accommodating. I'm actually shocked to be writing this because I never thought I'd see the day when a bank was kicking the credit union's @$$es but here we are.

Reply to 2023 Providence Marathon Coaching by GuidanceCold1427

I ran the Providence Marathon in 2016 following a plan from this website:

https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/marathon-training/intermediate-1-marathon/#program-list

It provides different schedules based on your ability level and then shows how many weeks to train and how many miles to run on each day of those weeks, gradually increasing your weekly miles. I think I did either intermediate 1 or 2 (I can't remember now), but it allowed me to train well enough to complete my first marathon. There are also other sites with training plans if you search around, but this one seemed straight forward to me.

If you are looking for others to connect with, then I agree with the suggestion by u/brogaant about contacting Rhode Runner. I think they usually have a Wednesday group run and a longer Sunday group run, so you can connect with other runners.

Good luck on your marathon!

I'll do it, but I'm going to tell you the same 3 things I tell all my clients:

​

  1. I'm not qualified for this.
  2. Seriously, you're going to have to explain what we're doing here.
  3. I don't know why you're mad at me. I saw a position. Nobody else was volunteering and I felt bad.

I use coastal 1 and td Bank. Never had any issues with either of them. TD has the nice feature of being able to issue you an ATM/debit card at the branch when you open an account or need a replacement instead of having to wait to get it in the mail. Also I have their beyond checking which gets you free ATM use anywhere plus refund of any fees the other bank charges, free money orders and cashier checks.
