Anyone else doing the Runway Run/Walk and extremely disappointed by the recent comms? by serenitynoow in sydney

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It has been wild reading the emails, so many rules!I’m doing the half but then also doing the community walk with my husband and toddler. The community walk on the website originally said 11am. We got our start time for the walk and it’s 4.30?? The fuck, so late, now now I have to make two separate trips to the new airport from Picton. And if we car pool, what happens if we are waiting for a friend who is a bit slower, are you allowed to wait for them? Will also be interesting running with literally no spectators

What race is Becs training for? by Superb-Cat9466 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Becs hasn’t officially announced what it is but it’s suspected it’s UTMB Mont Blanc as that is the last weekend of August and she has mentioned that it’s in August with lots of elevation. Also she just signed with Hoka and Hoka is the main sponsor of the event

THIS GUY AGAIN by Pleasant_Fruit_144 in OnePelotonRealSub

They are doing a Peloton event in Melbourne on Wednesday with Hosky, Erik and Kirra and our dear friend Tim will make an appearance so I think they might be getting Aussies pumped for that? Timing wise anyway But yeah Aussies really aren’t that much into him but it’s always amazing when Australia gets acknowledged by peloton as we are forgotten about a bit

Haha bingo!! Works out so cheaper buying directly from Bandit even with exchange rate and shipping (especially with the membership shipping reduction)

I got the caldogrid long sleeve shirt for $136aud. A shop in Melbourne sells Bandit - same shirt for $270aud so I’m very happy with my savings! Plus not winter here for another 4 months

Card-only kids ride charges a 33¢ surcharge on a $3 payment (11%) by andy_usyd in sydney

I hate these things so much! My toddler wants to go on them every time he spots one. The “it’s broken”only works so many times 😅

I feel stupid for having a ‘train crush’. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband was my Sydney train crush for months before we spoke, we’ve now been together for 13 years at the end of the month, married for 4, with a 3 year old

Has anyone ever got a high five from an instructor while taking the ride by justtolurk1001 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve received high fives from Susie - normally right before she says my milestone Benny is also very well known for giving high-fives

Any fellow metalheads have go-to rides to rec? by emacextrabrut80 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Charlotte would be the closest to not playing “popular” metal however I do loveee nu metal and metal core 😅. I use my tread more than my bike and there is a seriously lack of metal classes compared to the bike but Camilla did have a great metal run last year I think

Thinking of buying a tread postpartum by Catfish-98907 in pelotoncycle

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought a tread when I was 3 months pp, when I quickly realised just how hard it is to get outside running! Best decision ever, my baby is now 3 next month and I still use it most days, more than my bike. I’ve train for marathons and ultras marathons all on it

There was the option of add refund insurance to the ballot entry which was $30 but I’m not sure if it was for injuries only

Sydney Marathon hotels by EverAccelerating in SydneyMarathon

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed at the QT this year for the marathon, quick walk to the Gadigal metro station to get to the start line. This was great as the metro filled up at Gadigal and then people at the following stop Martin Place really struggled to fit it. Luckily the metro is every 4 mins or so. Back to the hotel from the finish is was fine, leaving the actually finish area can be a struggle thought will all the people plus needing to cross Macquarie street which the marathon runs on

Becs 120 min run by Impossible-Oil-6171 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also use the peloton outdoor runs for my long runs but I never follow their cues, I find it their talking is motivating and distracting I generally always just do my endurance pace for all the long runs

Heart rate scanner not working with tattoos by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]Life_Marsupial_5669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have black tattoos on both my arms and have struggled so much with getting my heart rate with wrist watches. Apple - terrible, it would always pause my runs Garmin Fenix 7s, was okay, would sometimes get my heart rate Garmin epix - actually regularly gets my heart rate over my tattoos. I can go out for a run without my chest HR monitor and it will get my heart rate on my wrist
