https://www.airnow.gov/ should give predictions for the day and the next day (beyond that I don't know how much I'd trust it). I'd be reluctant to train outdoors past 100aqi, and very reluctant above 150. Try to use the predictions to get some workouts outdoors by gaming the timing, but beyond that I'd use a treadmill, trainer, or erg. Maybe see if there' a fieldhouse with an indoor track somewhere nearby that you can sneak into?

In a worst-case scenario, the training that he's doing while tapering doesn't really add much (if any) fitness at this point in his training cycle.

Most gyms will let you buy a day or couple day pass pretty cheap.

I wouldnt run outside over 150 AQI personally.

Low impact day, amazing water was like glass middle of day on Narragansett.

But not cool that you need it.
It ain’t an east coast/west coast thing.
Nor a US/Canada thing.
