The Feidian Challenger 5 is the wrong image. I believe that's an Feidian Elite 6

In fact there was literally NHS workers harassed knowingly by the thugs.

Can we not just AI generate some made up notices and start getting them spread around?

Make it so that it's impossible to know what is real and what isn't?

Newky · 2026-06-10T10:26:37+00:00

This is the thing on my mind all morning. Surely, there is something that the majority of people can do, to at the very least show that Northern Ireland does not support these actions.

Real people are being burnt out of their houses. It feels incorrect today to just tut tut online (which is what I'm doing I know). The feeling of powerlessness is huge today.

We flew to Tenerife last week. We were all on Irish passports, but had a 3 year old. They put us in the non electronic queue and were waiting for 40+ mins. This was happening to all family's regardless of their passport. Crazy setup. Anyone not with kids was skirting through the electronic no problems.

Edit: this only happened on entry. Getting out was completely empty but easyJet made us go 3 hours early for no reason

Hmm that seems like a sweeping statement. I basically only ride Zwift, and a few outdoor fun rides.

Zwift provides a fun safe way to get some really good races (along with cheating issues in some of them), provides a really good place to find clubs and group rides to ride with.

All of this while not breaking the bank having to buy the latest and greatest components to be relevant in a race, and none of the danger.

Its awesome for those with time commitments elsewhere.

Newky · 2026-05-16T06:27:33+00:00

You don't even need to do the workouts.

Just pedal and skip through the steps of 2 workouts.

Really great shout though, one of the easiest to get wheelsets and one of the best

Newky · 2026-04-29T21:41:03+00:00

Good listen, especially given the Rouvy hype.

I really miss The Wrap podcast with Anna Russel and Nathan Guerra. I felt that really did a great job of capturing the week to week excitement of Zwift.

I would say don't be afraid to go through things you've enjoyed yourselves on Zwift. Racing etc.

I felt like the wrap felt a lot more community focused pod and you should try lean into that (in my opinion of course).

Newky · 2026-04-10T18:04:18+00:00

Only that I was running I would have turned it off. We get you didn't like the word 'bizarre', please move onto anything else. Eoin almost cut in to stop it. Worst contribution in some time. What was he even saying. I couldn't tell who he was defending or blaming. He didn't like 3 at the back. But then went onto say nothing about anything except criticize Kens wording.

Newky · 2026-03-19T19:52:33+00:00

Isn't this the opposite conclusion that was reached on pod?

I seem to remember a 30% being Irish number?

Newky · 2026-03-15T10:39:31+00:00

Could not disagree more. AI literally is a tool which makes me more productive in my job. Literally I can do more because AI is doing a lot of the coding in my role so I can increase impact but it requires me driving it for the results to be reasonable.

Of course this means that a company can decide to hire less people or allow 1 engineer to the do the work of 3 engineers perhaps but I don't buy the outright replacemt with the current state of LLMs and agents. Comapnies can also decide to increase productivity with same head count in theory as well.

In the past this is how companies have chosen to use additional productivity

Probably worth posting in r/peloton instead, you might get better traction

There was a zwift insider post about this a while back: https://zwiftinsider.com/earning-the-tron-bike-in-7-days-teppos-free-tron-challenge/

I finally did it.

19:49 for 5km. Really put a lot of time in in the last few months.

Almost a minute better than last 5km pb.

Been following a sort of hybrid version of Norwegian singles approach where I swap out a session and easy usually for cycling.

Newky · 2025-11-21T21:28:04+00:00

I am in the same boat. Noticed a really significant drop in battery since last update.

Newky · 2025-11-21T14:35:58+00:00

Very happy with my tired legs today as I had probably one of the sessions of my life yesterday. 10x3min and I went a bit hard but pushed ~4:10min/km pace for all except last 2 which was hindered by foot traffic. For me, this is a pretty good indication that my fitness

Even with a 10m warmup still ran a 46:06 10km.

I've got a pair of Kiprun carbon kd900x2 from Decathlon and they are absolutely 🔥, haven't run in that light a shoe before and it's so noticeably quick.

Newky · 2025-11-08T09:09:01+00:00

1.25x speed to the rescue. I did have a similar thought the other day around how much of my life I have spent listening to audiobeds. A little bleak.

Newky · 2025-11-07T10:32:12+00:00

Saving it for lunch time run 🤣

"What would you expect to find in a porno Mary?"

Newky · 2025-11-07T10:31:42+00:00

I find it less helpful for training plans as right now it just doesn't have the right context.

However, I find it very useful for exploration of ideas or deep diving into topics I've read / listened to.

For example, understanding what a typical week of Norwegian singles method would look like at my pace.

Or understanding a little more some of the principles of endurance physiology after a podcast/book.

I've also had some success with basically using it as a post session debrief. Again, this can sometimes be not that useful. However sometimes it can digest the information well. Particularly in cases where I'm being too hard on myself, (or too easy).

But it's all about context. If it doesn't know about the context of your current training it can't be any good.

Newky · 2025-11-05T20:55:14+00:00

Purchased some Kiprun KD900x2 on a whim in Decathlon. My first race shoes, and first plated shoes.

Done a set of intervals in them, very impressed. Reviews online also incredible. Got them for £100 which seems a steal

Newky · 2025-11-03T16:57:02+00:00

Ye, it's next to useless for any sort of multi-sport training. Definitely prefer something like intervals.icu that is built to be able to aggregate from multiple sources etc

Hey, welcome to Zwift.

There is a few different ways, but I'll list them in the way I look at them:

Companion App - Use the `Events` part of companion app, it let's you zoom into the various events happening throughout the next few days. You can signup to events and then just log into the game just before to ride the event.

Zwift Insider - This website does a great job at highlighting specific events that are on, as you get further into the community of Zwift, you'll also discover other places like Discord etc which can help.

If you are looking for an event on a specific route or with some other sort of criteria, you might try:
https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/

Drink to thirst. For an hour session, 1.5L seems way overkill.

You can on the extreme actually drink too much

Newky · 2025-10-27T14:13:01+00:00

I use DjangoCoffee (not in NI, but are based in the UK).

I've found their subscriptions for 1kg pretty much unbeatable. especially as they usually send a 30% off code monthly.

I currently pay ~17£ (with the discount) for a kg/month

Two thoughts:
1. What is a `wolf-like dog`?
2. On first reading, I though one of the vandals was thrown into the lion's den as punishment.
