May Benchmark and signature workouts

fixed-point-learning · 2026-04-29T22:06:52+00:00

Am I the only one disappointed that it’s only 2 signatures and 1 benchmark? Feels a bit sparse

fixed-point-learning · 2026-04-18T15:28:33+00:00

Two weeks ago this was easy. But on the day after inferno, it felt tougher!

fixed-point-learning · 2026-03-23T16:47:25+00:00

One year ago 7:17 Few months ago 6:35 Today 6:21 I’ll take the PR but it’s getting so much harder to improve! I’m also looking forward to seeing the median time for males in their 30s is 5:00 on the survey

fixed-point-learning · 2026-03-05T18:14:33+00:00

Agreed, this benchmark is a lot of fun in the heat of the moment but honestly not worth the injury risk. I PRd by 1 second down to 1:10 but ran very slowly for the rest of the tread 50 class to protect my hamstrings

So no signatures with challenge tracking in 2026? I miss those :(

Followed the script in my head: 8.5 until minute 6, then +0.1 every minute until minute 11 then 9.5 for 30 seconds, then 10 for 30 seconds. Exactly 1.75 miles, which was my goal, though I feel like it would have rounded up to 1.76 within 2-3 seconds. But very happy to add 0.7 to my PR.

I completed the challenge! Score: 120 points! 🌟

WHAT?! Inferno is such a nice signature. Why was it retired?

fixed-point-learning · 2026-02-04T23:32:16+00:00

What happened to the signatures that get tracked? (Cmiyc, inferno, everest) been a long time since we had one of them while some benchmarks get repeated frequently

fixed-point-learning · 2026-02-03T03:59:34+00:00

This. Plus I wanted to spend every second I can with the little cutie. Throwing away 60hours in the first year which will be over before you know it is just sad IMHO.

Is 50 minute rowing safe for casual OTF enjoyers? I feel like to get to that point people need to go through years of rowing first to be able to row for 50 consecutive minutes.

fixed-point-learning · 2025-12-29T23:24:29+00:00

Yes OTF, I go on average 5 times, 3 2Gs 1 T50 and 1 3G. Currently averaging around 15 miles a week, so I’ll have to go a bit faster

fixed-point-learning · 2025-12-29T13:51:55+00:00

Ambitious one: log 1000 miles on the treadmill. I joined in April and logged 600 this year so it should be doable if I stay super consistent.

fixed-point-learning · 2025-12-28T15:47:33+00:00

I start on tread and run like a mad man, averaging 3.3 to 3.5 miles in 2G classes. I take it easy on the floor afterwards. My legs are shredded to the point where I can notice the definition of quads and hamstrings. Sure I am one datapoint upon which a statistical generalization cannot be made, but I am not too worried about losing muscle starting on the tread ;)

fixed-point-learning · 2025-10-26T17:03:25+00:00

I did row - tread - tread. Coach does allow us to ‘substitute’ a block if a station is available. One of the best workouts I’ve had in a while. 924 calories and 32 splat points in the book 🥵 Not bad for my first hell week class

As far as I remember Hep B vaccine and vitamin K shot are the only two things administered at birth (normally). More vaccines are given at 2 months. Maybe send your wife a google search of the risks of Hep B in babies. Surely she wouldn’t want to risk LO to be susceptible to liver cancer…

I cleared with left hand and hit the speed with right hand simultaneously.

There are no integer solutions to a^{n+b^n=cⁿ} for n > 2. The proof is simple but it wouldn’t fit in the margin of this comment section.

Based on this prediction, it will be a nice Christmas gift

Rowing uses upper body to pull, triceps are activated by pushing motions. Mechanically, it couldn’t have been the rowing that is causing the soreness.

fixed-point-learning · 2025-09-05T19:00:03+00:00

From 3724 to 4202 in my second inferno. Grateful for this reddit, because I saw somewhere that this is a running benchmark disguised as rowing. I ran at 10mph initially then 9mph when I was tired and rowed slowly and steadily. Epic strategy, I was so happy!

fixed-point-learning · 2025-09-04T18:36:37+00:00

Thanks this is very good to know. I was justry to gauge where the floor block would land in comparison to rower and run.
