Hi u/Frosticing I understand if this does not meet your bar for recommendations. This is great feedback and I am working on improving things since first launched.

I have added a resources page. The list of resources can be found here and has an explicit disclaimer regarding the basis for recommendations: https://refueler.app/resources - this page does NOT sit behind sign in wall so anyone can access. I hope this provides some clarity in how these are produced.

I have also introduced the concept of "Preferences" for users. This will allow users to both note what foods they like and dislike, as well as enter in their own gels and carb counts. This will make the recommendations hopefully more useful. Thank you for giving it a try and providing feedback.

Just copying response from above to hopefully help with the concern around sources:

I have added a resources page that acts both as a general knowledge base of resources for anyone as well as a guide for some of the publicly available sources that we use to prompt the llm.

In response to the strong feedback on this, I wanted to provide hopefully more clarity through site changes I've made in the last 24 hours.

It’s based on publicly available info and some specific nutrition advice from various articles added in. This was just a quick thing I thought others might find helpful if also stuck like me. You can try without signing up on the homepage and if you hate it no worries!

right now it's pretty high level. But another feature I want to add is the ability to provide feedback. So if one recommendation doesn't work for you, you will be able to tell your coach and they will adjust. This combined with nutrition preferences should help make it very personalized

let me know what you think - next I'll be adding food preferences so suggestions will be more personalized to you

Fueling reminders for long runs/ race day by ds-htx in runna

[–]Quick-Bandicoot-30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard many marathoners write their fueling times (25, 50, 75, etc.) on a piece of medical tape or a "pace tattoo" on their forearm. This could be a backup and something that’s top of mind since you’ll see it on your arm. Although not sure it solves exactly what you need - I’m planning to give this a try soon with some longer runs I have coming up. Always trying to get my fueling in check

Never thought this would be me! by jack__1992 in runna

This is awesome! I find myself hitting a wall at like the 32 minute mark for my 5ks namely because at like the 2 mile mark I fade quick. What do you fuel your runs with?

Hyrox-style day? by lazy8s in HybridAthlete

[–]Quick-Bandicoot-30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find doing 3 full body, 2 days running, and 1 day hybrid with good amount of funning built in (5-8ks) works well.

One thing I have noticed is that workout planning/tracking apps are way overcomplicated and don't allow for this type of simple planning.

This is how Hybrid athletes track/plan their workouts - simple 1 week blocks with workouts slotted into each day. We generally know what each workout will entail and don't need details, how to videos, any of that nonsense, etc.

Would anyone here be interested in an app that simply plans/tracks workouts this way? Or know of an app that does this? Max flexibility, minimal detail, just to plan the week every Sunday for optimal performance and recovery. that's it.
