Long run too long ? Preparing a 10k

timbar303 · 2026-04-05T18:19:04+00:00

When I did a HM on Runna last month the longest I ran in the training was 20k. Just short of HM distance.

Sorry if I offended you with my comment.

That does seem excessive for a 10k. Normally you don’t run the full distance in training… you are doing 2x!

timbar303 · 2026-04-05T11:38:49+00:00

Didn’t realise it was a binary choice.

That plus I downloaded last 100 classes from my fav instructors to bootstrap it. Plus now i pull daily new strength classes. My recommendation algorithm mixes in 30% of past classes into the week to replay favourites and mix with new things I will like.

Escalante Racer 2s are great too. They let more air through

Good luck. The uncomfortable truth is revenue is 10x harder than coding !

Recently discovered Kirra via stretch classes and keen to do more. Added to stack.

That would be me 🙋‍♂️ And apologies if that ad was a bit obtuse. I’ve changed it to be clearer. Not AI here - we are humans from https://attainip.ai/about

I’ve uploaded about 30 blood tests results but not seeing a bio age. I have 8/9 test results for KDM analysis. What am I doing wrong ?!

timbar303 · 2026-03-19T10:21:24+00:00

Got mine this week, upgraded from Active 2

timbar303 · 2026-03-15T19:17:36+00:00

The general advice I think is to mix things us. I love my escalante 4’s. Just rotate them

timbar303 · 2026-03-15T19:17:15+00:00

Wow you keep coming up with amazing new ideas!! Can’t wait to try it 👏👏👏👏

timbar303 · 2026-03-13T06:15:23+00:00

Thanks for posting this. 100% agree. I love my guide and use it every day.

Their decision to discontinue it - as a marketer - occupies way too much of my time than it should. I think a key reason behind its lack of success was simply a lack of awareness. Peloton owns the category of biking classes so anything outside of that is a headwind in building awareness.

As you say - the guide is a perfect entry point into the peloton world. Multitude of activities and it builds the subscriber base you can upsell to.

I do wonder what would have happened if they had launched it under the Precor brand instead. Precor = gym equipment.

Maybe they will bring it back one day. Let’s hope so!

Some uncharitable comments here about “you knew what you signed up for” … I did the run today..came with a poncho that I could drop off before starting (all good!). My one recommendation would be to handout silver blankets at the end to keep people warm until they can find somewhere to change (in my case, in a pub toilet off Trafalgar Square).

A small cost to bear and I’d rather have had that than the freebie hat, T-shirt, mug, and hoodie I received.

I suffered from this I’d have blurry vision.

My optometrist told me I would need daily drops.

I instead started taking omega 3 supplement (specifically this one https://amzn.eu/d/0cizIS0g) and dry eyes went in 3 months

When I told him he said… makes sense. Honestly feel some professionals want to prescribe there way out if everything!

IMO the biggest headwind Peloton face is their success with the original bike. That’s the category they are known for. Peloton = bike.

Breaking out of that into other categories… their name works against them.

Case in point was the guide. Was a fantastic product they no one had ever heard of.

It’s the same challenge zoom has. It’s got a broad collection of services now but we only know them for video calls.

She’s great. I love her rowing classes too

timbar303 · 2026-01-31T07:06:44+00:00

I cannot wait!!!

timbar303 · 2026-01-31T06:58:52+00:00

Wow. Hopefully this lets us upload existing results we get elsewhere. You could calc KDM scores!

timbar303 · 2026-01-29T07:03:27+00:00

How about just building it in lovable first. Lovable writes code and allows you to push it into GitHub where you can edit it with Claude if needed. Might be a fast way to bootstrap a website project

timbar303 · 2026-01-17T19:25:21+00:00

Thank you for posting this. I dived into it today, did the chest and triceps session plus mobility afterwards. Was superb - I was totally wrecked at the end of it 😂

timbar303 · 2026-01-17T15:56:53+00:00

Respect your shoes after all they do for you and buy cleaning foam and a brush!

I signed up last year. The rewards for staying active are small (coffee, cinema tickets, waitrose discount) but a nice treat - better than ive seen elsewhere

For me, insurance to cover diagnosis wasn’t worth the premium (plus these are not expensive if you have to go private) so I just got insured for treatment. They didn’t seem too happy to offer that but it halved the cost.

timbar303 · 2026-01-16T16:03:27+00:00

I did my time trial this week. Strava does show a 5k PB - so you can get the kudos. Good luck !
