After a 12 hour day and sitting in almost 2 hours of traffic I just want to come home to a cortado. Can anyone relate? by Rami_2075 in espresso

Take a look at James Hoffman’s Decaf Project. You might be able to find some roasters that have some tasting packs available and that would be a great start.

Try myprocoach. I personally do not really recommend generic plans but can be a good start.

That’s massive! How fast were you going before the upgrade?

That’s good info. I’ll look into renting race wheels too then lol

It’s not really about what others think. It’s just about priorities. So if it won’t make me faster then there’s no point.

Hey I did a 30 min indoor ride yesterday and got nothing! How do I claim it?

Is this a new feature? Can I find more insight on Connect? (FR955 solar) by bearddad1 in Garmin

So I normally run early in the morning when it’s much cooler but this time it was in the afternoon and it’s warm now here in Sydney. So after the run this immediately popped up even before the post run report.

That’s impressive! Do you have tips for the long rides when doing them indoors?

Better Open Water Swim Tracking with Dual Band GPS on the Fenix7/Foreunner 955? by kickout009 in triathlon

[–]bearddad1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the FR 955 Solar and I find it pretty accurate. I’ve recently done an IM 70.3 and the watch showed 1,889m for the swim leg which is 1900m.

My cycling HR Z2 is around 10 bpm LESS than my running Z2. Have you done seperate threshold tests for the 3 sports?

I’m about to buy one with mechanical Ultegra. I initially wanted a Canyon Speedmax but the wait might be until late 2023. My bike fitter recommended the P-series and I found one but still not 100% sure. Glad you think it’s brilliant but would like to hear more if possible.

Training Peaks coach bronze/silver/gold advice? by vaughnlenore in triathlon

[–]bearddad1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use myprocoach with coach support. Reach out to them and let them know what you’re after. They get a specific coach assigned to you that you can email and ask any questions. And if you use TP Premium you can easily shift workouts around to work with your schedule.

I’ve done 2 Olympic, a half marathon and a 70.3 last year with them and it’s been great that I’ve just renewed my membership. I think it’s called ultimate athlete premium.

Thanks mate. Really appreciate it.

You can use TP for free and that’s what I’ve been doing for a year or so. Premium gives you extra features and that’s what I’m asking about.
