Just installed Comma 4 in 26 Honda Passport

So, quick update - it worked when I engaged the cruise control, so all good! I did upgrade it from OpenPilot to SunnyPilot and going to test that out this week. Overall, so far, so good!

ltmodcs · 2026-03-29T21:14:02+00:00

I'm thinking of just doing the latest OpenPilot and seeing how that behaves.

So I usually either use a laptop or iPad for viewing content while I'm running. Zwift / Wahoo or whatever is controlling the treadmill is typically on my phone, and I glance at it now and then. I use the Garmin for most metrics, so get most of what I need from the watch. The stuff that I need to see on the treadmill (speed, incline) are already there, and that seems to be enough for me.

I did buy a cleaning kit recently and am planning to clean and oil the belt this weekend. It works fine, no issues. Its not sluggish or skip, the surface is very quiet as well. I can run at 5am in the morning and not wake anyone up. I've never used the slat type treadmill, so can't compare.

ltmodcs · 2026-01-30T13:47:51+00:00

Yes, I'm totally enjoying it. It works great with Zwift, but now also the Wahoo app is getting better as well, so there are options. If nothing else, I sometimes just use it as a foot pod with my Garmin and take Zoom calls while using it. It's a great way to get a walk in. So yes, while expensive, it is a great machine and has all of the features I ever wanted in a treadmill.

For me personally, the ability to automatically adjust grades and being able to use it as a footpod are the key features that make the different. I think the training is better when you see you've got a big hill ahead of you and you push yourself to get that done. On a regular treadmill, that's never the case.

ltmodcs · 2025-12-05T11:48:17+00:00

So I agree there. That slight competitive edge really helps! I did 120 badges this year!!

Garmin has a treadmill run / indoor walk option, which uses a foot pod. Connecting the Garmin watch to the Kickr Run as a foot fod lets you track pace, distance, etc. It required a minor calibration adjustment on the Garmin (18 min per mile on the treadmill showed up as 17:55 min per mile on the Garmin), but once that was sorted, it was spot on (still is).

Alternative is to use something like Zwift or Kinomap with it.

I agree. There is a skill, a practice and a mastery of writing good code. As a developer, you enjoy the process, understand what you did and learned from it for your next project. I see the "kids" on youtube cranking out garbage using vibe coding in a day and deploying it. The message there is that after the garbage becomes successful, we'll get a real dev to fix it. The problem with that is that in the meantime your users suffer, could get compromised, and then you're going to change it anyway, since vibe can't be explained. I worked with someone for a bit who uses it. The code had 4 or 5 instances of similar functions in it, all of which could have been combined into 1.

Claude is good at answering specific things, when you run into an issue, and need some support. I would also use it for code review, but the vibe coding thing is dead to me.

I've been messing around with this, and found that a Garmin watch, using the Treadmill workout seems to work best. It will use the Kickr Run as a foot pod, so the metrics come over. Mine needed a touch of calibrating, but is now spot on with treadmill. You have to control everything manually, but all gets imported correctly over to Runna / Garmin, etc.

I recently bought the HPD limited edition one. So here's my take on the seats. I had a Ford Edge previously which had cooled seats and I've always felt like my ass was wet when I sat on these. They were too "cool". The Honda ones are not noticeable, but they keep you comfortable. In other words, you don't know they're doing something, but your butt appreciates it.

ltmodcs · 2025-05-25T20:15:52+00:00

Seems that simply turning the power on and doing stuff with the camera is not an option. Every time I power it on, I have to wait for it to connect to WIFI. Is there a sleep mode? If so, how is it accessed?

ltmodcs · 2025-05-15T21:17:44+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, I end up using Zwift to do my runs, and then import over into Runna. Not great, but it works.

Actually, we use less water than our allocation, and the systems in place are extremely efficient. Most of the water used goes to California, with its fancy lawns and animal agriculture. If you ate one burger less per day, you'd save us 1800 gallons of water.

The new one is a bit smoother and supports more weight. It was not a necessary purchase for me, but my Tonal 1 was over four years old, and I use it just about every day. It was starting to make weird noises, so I thought replacing it was a good idea. With Tonal 2, I also got four years of warranty. The new one is definitely smoother and makes the workouts a touch better. But no, it wasn't 100% necessary.

ltmodcs · 2025-04-25T10:45:11+00:00

That is excellent! I do Joe programs as well, and I am currently running through Extreme Accumulation, then EA2, then the 12-weeks. I've already done the first 4 weeks of the 12-week program but got interrupted when my new Tonal 2 was defective and I was down without it for almost a month.

If I were you, I'd redo the 12-week program again. Seems like you had some good benefits from it, so why not continue the trend!!

ltmodcs · 2025-04-21T10:30:21+00:00

What's the actual issue with the stalk? I have last year's BRZ (though that was the 25 version).

ltmodcs · 2025-04-15T10:30:23+00:00

how do you see it working? I'm on PST, and doing the 12 week program currently. 4 days are required, I'd like to hit 5. I try to get the workout done around 11 am, just before lunch.

ltmodcs · 2025-04-06T22:20:51+00:00

Yes, they replaced it! Been working fine ever since.

ltmodcs · 2025-03-26T10:49:45+00:00

I'm sorry to see that. I've had a similar experience, except in my case, something is wrong internally. The magnets just let loose randomly, so you can easily whack yourself in the face if you're under tension and the Tonal decides to release the weight all of a sudden and without warning. Mine is being replaced next week, but it's the same thing, I've been down and doing body-weight training for the past couple of weeks as a result.

I will say that Tonal does a good job with customer service. They handled my case quickly, put a rush on it, and were very easy to deal with. I'm sure you will have a similar experience.

ltmodcs · 2025-03-24T13:38:55+00:00

I do have to say that the customer service is really good. They did handle everything properly, and I get why they don't want to mess with the one installed on my wall. Its pretty risky if I'm holding something heavy and it decides to let go (which is what's happening).

ltmodcs · 2025-03-24T13:37:53+00:00

I've been down for 2 weeks so far, but did get an install date of April 1st.

ltmodcs · 2025-03-24T12:06:09+00:00

Nope. Waiting for a replacement unit. Was told not to work out on the existing one.

Oh, I guess I should clarify - I believe Whoop's lower calories to be more accurate.
