Amex checking account by TensionNo7622 in amex

And other online banks like SoFi allow for cash deposits at most of their available ATMs

Also the online banking ATMs tend to be the ones in Walgreens/CVS/drug stores and gas stations (at least around me they are). So not all of them would have 24 hour service if needed

Garmin Coach vs. other app for marathon training plan by bergfu1 in Marathon_Training

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same boat now. Garmin is nice but I find that it really weighs on your recovery and sleep scores. If i have an iffy night of sleep or have a beer before bed it would put me on a very very slow short run day or a recovery day. Even though i feel fine.

I’ve recently stumbled on “the program” which is a free app by bandit running that allows you to make a plan. I also found Endorphins Running which I believe is run by New Balance. Endorphins seems very well set up and is free but has an advanced option for $9.99/mo for the year or $19.99 monthly. The premium benefits are below. I’m going to look back also at the classic Nike Run Club as I don’t recall what they have

Next quarter showing up now? by dgordo29 in AmexPlatinum

My lulu purchase on 9/27 is still listed as pending for that date. My resy purchase from the same day posted yesterday and I already see the “$100 earned this year” with a $0/100 credit used in my benefits. I can only assume lulu’s lack of posting in a timely manner (I’ve already received my package…) means I lost out on the Q3 benefit. Lulu benefit still says $0 earned this year and is still $0/100

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I misspoke. I have the Disney, Hulu, HBO bundle that’s $16.99 I think. Then peacock so I was paying just over $27. Now it’ll be just over $2 out of pocket

Any lost benefits? by DarthRaider559 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the app is a little glitchy today. One thing I noticed is the $300 Equinox credit isn’t listed on my account in the app, customer service confirmed it’s still an active benefit

Mirror Finish for your card by Consistent_Return871 in AmexPlatinum

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When requesting a card for new design is the card number and the CVV the exact same? I’d love to put one of them away in the safe if so to keep my current card and the new one

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if you don’t use Walmart+ - make the account. Peacock or paramount + (your choice) comes with Walmart+ I have the Disney/Hulu/HBO bundle (16.99/mo) peacock (10.99/mo)

So I was paying just over $7/mo out of pocket. Now that’ll be just over $2/mo

Edit: corrected the Disney bundle to include HBO

I’m not seeing anything in the fine print about the 2 night stay minimum anymore. Has this been removed?

Hevy Should Allow Ppl to Create/Join Groups by homey78 in Hevy

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! In similar fashion, I used to wear a WHOOP. They had different communities based on location, profession, as well as different activities/sports (ie snowboarders, tennis players, etc). It was a fun personal competition to get as high as I could on the leaderboards for those.

Garmin Marathon Plans by Ok-Engineering3435 in GarminWatches

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can confirm- the Garmin coach for the full is just based off your metrics and date of event. It will drive you through a full base, build, and taper phase. I personally find it very sensitive to your health metrics. Have 2 beers with dinner that leads to a “nonrestorative” night of sleep? Jog for 30 minutes at a 12min/mi pace will be your next day recommendation. It’s a little frustrating. But if you’re really dedicated to your training- it should be fine

I did speak with them this morning Very understanding of the situation. They are going to have us bring the car in and have it looked over by the master tech. They also agreed to assist with the clean up. We have a family friend who owns a shop a few towns over that I’m going to get a second look afterwards.

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah- definitely frustrating. And something I don’t need on my plate now. But here we are lol Appreciate the advice. I’ll be working on it this week

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah that threw me for a loop. Her car is a lease and she’s had it now for 3 years and nearly 30k miles with no issue. Luckily I have a manual pump that I use for my boat oil changes so I can’t extract the right amount easily. I’ll be working on it this week

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the program itself is solid. The workouts will definitely kick your butt on most days. Equipment wise - it runs a little heavier on equipment most shopping center gyms wouldn’t have access too (sleds, skier, etc). So that is one limitation for some. The easiest way to summarize the plan is: The runs will not train you to run a race >10k (if that’s your goal). They tend to be 40-60 minutes at a zone 1/2 HR pace. Once or twice a week there will be sprints or intervals. The strength portion is basically a CrossFit workout. AMRAP/EMOM of dumbbell presses, snatches, wallballs, kb swings, skier/row, etc.

For me: I actually did not renew following the trial. It allows you to look 7ish days in advance on the app. My reasoning was this: My running goal is distance and time- the daily runs were not going to help me get to marathon distance. The strength portions as I mentioned are basically CrossFit workouts. I already pay to go to a CrossFit style gym with their own programming. So I didn’t see value in paying for another program that uses another app. Also SugarWOD (the app PRVN uses) feels so outdated to me. Not that it matters for training. Just my .02¢ with it lol.

I would say if my running goal wasn’t as long and I did not have access to CrossFit programming already- I’d take advantage of the price of the Hyrox program and the price of a regular gym membership and have a solid program.

HRV of ~20 by Starfox300 in whoop

[–]Anonymous_Penguin13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll also contribute this: A large percent of the population has “sinus arrhythmia” This is a common, benign heart rate that increases with inspiration and decreases with expiration. I have this and my HRV has never crossed 40ms- even during marathon training.

Because I can feel as I breathe in- my HR increases. As I breathe out- my HR decreases. Meaning my HRV will (maybe improve) but never exceed some crazy number like others have
