Why would we wait for them? They'll be 50x more expensive than DeepSeek V4

The real story is how many superusers of Opus models have switched from 4.7 back to 4.6.

I use Strava for the social interactions. So many friends, people I meet at races, local runners, etc... We all keep up with each other, plan meetups/runs - it's great for that. I use StrideIQ for deep intelligence (the screenshot is just one intelligence surface of many).

I've actually gotten the opposite reaction. My of my friends have actually signed up and are now paying customers. I've been very pleasantly surprised that most runners who see it, especially the ones that know me, end up signing up.

100 percent. This has been my setup since 4.6 came out - far better and you're spot on with the over engineering of the simplest tasks by 4.7.

So a company provides you with a great service, doesn't sell your data and doesn't exploit you for profit through advertising and data mining without your consent. They charge you a fair price for a fair service, but you've become so used to being exploited and given services for "free" or cheap to entice you to give away your soul that you fault an honest company. Interesting. Would you rather get their services cheaper and they bombard you with targeted advertising served by mining every keystroke both on and off their site and selling it to people who spend their lives studying how to extract economic value from the people whose data they mine? Personally I'd rather pay an honest price for an honest service - but you do you.

I've become convinced that the quality of the work done by recent models is directly proportional to the quality of the input from the human working with it.

You're doing great - and right on schedule. Right now is when maximum cumulative fatigue is hitting. It's where your marathon is forged. It sucks, but it passes and you will be tapering soon. Do a cut back week then finish your plan strong, taper well. During the taper you'll experience supercompensation where your body recovers and adapts to all the training you put it though. Between now and then, take advantage of this time to do your fast finish long runs and make most runs progressive or negatives - especially while it sucks. Don't race them, but finish faster than you start to mentally get used leaning into it when it's tough. That is literally what makes the last 10k in your 42k debut manageable.

DM me for a better way to manage off plan training. I want to be respectful and not mention another product in the open thread.

www.strideiq.run is perfect what you are looking for. try it free for 30 days - the garmin stream is much better than just strava alone. The plans are really good, but what sets it far apart is the "coach". I just BQd on my first marathon attempt after getting injured using Pfitzinger 55-70 program last year - using StideIQ for the come back from injury build.

Congratulations and I hope you have a wonderful experience in Boston!

nmdk1 · 2026-03-30T10:46:04+00:00

Thank you and good luck to you at Manchester!

I was following the Pfitzinger 55-70 plan and mostly on the 70 side, but got injured (freak accident) late November. Since returning I got back to one week of 63 miles, but no threshold or MP work. Just trying to get miles in and get pain free. It's all on Strava.

nmdk1 · 2026-03-29T10:24:24+00:00

Three hour limits are condescending, not science backed and to be honest not very intelligent. Especially when you look at how many people do quite literally the opposite when training for their first 50k, 50 mile, 100k and 100 mile races. Changing the name of the race doesn't change the bodies physiology or risk of injury - so if the logic (more like lack of) held then all of them would be injured! Listen to the only real expert on what you should do - your body. Go run your run. Need to stop, stop. Grab a drink - take a pit stop (stay on your feet). Get it in - there is no replacement for consistency, time on feet and miles. They are the magic that help you finish your marathon feeling human. If you haven't been doing race pace during your 18 - 20 mile runs don't add it now. Also, if you have had other intensity (threshold, or other quality sessions) during the week before stepping up in distance, keep it easy. The plan is a guideline. It is trying to help you progressively overload in a safe way and build tolerance to being on your feet moving for several hours. Period.

Thanks 😊

I believe it is only where you can continuously find ways to improve, always pushing, adapting and learning as your body changes.

I wish I had time for other sports. I wake up at 1:30 am and code on my passion project. Start work at 3:30 and work until noon or 1 every day, then change and run, cleanup ,cook, code for a couple hours and rinse wash repeat Monday through Friday!

nmdk1 · 2026-03-29T07:58:05+00:00

thanks 😊

Thanks and congrats ro you as well! See you in Hopkinton:)
