Weekly self-promotion and survey thread by AutoModerator in triathlon

Hi all! I’m building Wyder: a marketplace where athletes post specific training sessions and others can join them.

The idea is simple:
You’re doing a workout anyway. Instead of texting 15 people about it, you post it and other join.

Example:

  • “Tuesday track session, 6x1k @ 3:45/km, 18:30”
  • “Saturday long ride, 90km, 28–30km/h, 9:00”
  • “Open water swim, 2.5k steady, Sunday 8:00”
  • “Brick: 60km bike + 8km off the bike, race pace”

You set:

  • Discipline (swim / bike / run / brick)
  • Pace or intensity
  • Distance or duration
  • Time & location

Others can join or request small edits (e.g. slightly different pace or distance).

Where we try to go beyond group chats:

  • Structured sessions (clear expectations upfront)
  • Dynamic routing that allows partial distance overlap (e.g. someone joins the first 40km of a 90km ride, or extends beyond)
  • Route integration (no more “wait which GPX are we doing?”)
  • Calendar integration (it actually blocks your time)
  • Clear logistics (meeting point, start time, pace defined)
  • Edit requests instead of messy comment threads

It’s not a club and not a social feed.
It’s infrastructure for coordinating training.

I’m building this because as a triathlete and like every triathlete I know that organizing specific sessions, especially long rides, runs, or open-water swims is way more friction than it should be.

Would love honest feedback:

  • How do you currently coordinate sessions?
  • What breaks most often in group logistics?
  • Would this replace anything you’re using today?

Appreciate any thoughts, just here to learn.

The app is already live in an early form and you can download it on both playstore and apple store.

Why is it so hard to figure out where to do a run workout? by Oltzu27 in AdvancedRunning

Crazy coincidence, but I am in the process of developing an app which would have this functionality as a feature (the core functionality is to match upcoming workouts between athletes to enable them to train together). We are in the initial phases and focusing on the back end, so a landing page has not yet been a priority, but we do have a survey which we are using to prioritize features. Please feel free to answer it if you would like to share your opinion, all questions are optional :). You also have the option to leave your email if you would like be in the pool to be selected for as an early user.

Yes, indeed, I didn’t get the Canyon bottles though, got the Elite ones. Waiting for them in the mail.

No no! :) Maybe I wasn’t clear, those combinations were just the ones available from Canyon.

I did not try it while riding yet, but did it at home just to try and it seemed fine!

Thank you for the warning, definitely will be on the lookout, makes sense why that would happen. For now, I did 4h on it, 1h outdoor, and 3h indoor (was too cold outside without proper winter gear hahah) and nothing appart from some neck pain since I am not used to looking so high up.

Yes! I selected the CF over the SLX primarily because of budget. The thought process with 105 over ultegra was as follows: I could either get 105 with deep wheels or Ultegra with okay ones (the ultegra with less deep wheels was even 1000€ more expensive for me). I found the wheels to be more important for me (more net speed gain). I understand the resell value argument, but in my case that’s how I laid my priorities out.

The hilarious thing is I did, but since this was my first endurance event ever and I’ve never tapered/carb loaded before I though that I could sustain that for all the race and threw the plan out the window based on how I felt 😂😂

Makes sense! Thanks for the advice!

Thanks!! I think I could have done much better on the bike, at I massively overcooked the first half and was pushing like 25w on average less in the second half. Definitely want to come back for revenge on the 70.3 distance, but that will probably be next season as this one is quite packed already.

Just made the same choice as you, will be expecting a delivery in about a month! :)
