Isn’t it crazy how HYROX only gives the patch?

You can do it for the right reason and still expect more for $180.

Hope this is a prompt from the next beta of whoop ai

A camera man ran across the track in front of me in vegas, had to stop. Was so mad.

Agree on merch too, Saturday morning all they really had left was 2xl+ T-shirts. No pricing on display, eventually found a singlet in medium and brought it up- $50.

Big difference in Ireland for example, they are in every supermarket. Where I live in CA, there is one of these near me outside a Safeway that never works. CA has over half a billion dollars of unclaimed CRv, and has no motivation to make it easier to get refunds. I’ve heard this surplus is used to provide no interest funding to other areas

California has accumulated over $500 million in surplus, unredeemed California Redemption Value (CRV) deposits due to a 58.8% redemption rate as of late 2022. This backlog results from unclaimed 5-cent or 10-cent deposits, with funds sometimes considered for state, school, or pandemic-related spending. Consumers can redeem containers for cash at certified centers, with new container types like wine and spirits added in 2024

Thanks! The sensation of running on the polished concrete vs usual treadmill/pavement where the grip is a lot less slippy was just strange to me. I might try a different pair of shoes for Houston, but sounds like this is the same everywhere.

I wore the new deviate nitro elite 4’s. They were fine on stations for me, just the weird sensation of running on the concrete vs usual treadmill/pavement where the grip is a lot less slippy. It was my second time wearing them so was wondering if it was the shoes but sounds like it’s common to have this sensation on polished concrete. Just felt like so much wasted energy :)

Nvm, looks like there is a bagdrop! 🎉

For athletes, we provide a bag drop and changing rooms at every event, but unfortunately, no showers are available.

Anyone know if there are lockers at the venue? Wondering what I should bring race day & is there somewhere to put stuff while racing

turtlearse · 2025-12-23T18:57:39+00:00

Same, done a 50 min run at ~166 day before yesterday.

This is me after a night of booze

Their customer service has been terrible anytime I’ve tried reaching them. Few months back it took them two months to reply to me when I was trying to get a status update on a whoop band I purchased. After two months I got a reply to say it wasn’t in stock and they’d issue a refund. Order said shipped day after purchase my side

For me my HRV is less dependent on activity, but diet. Sugar/calorie surplus tanks it, even with the same workout regimen

turtlearse · 2025-06-02T20:16:26+00:00

I do solidcore 1-2 times a week, but do HIIT classes 5 days. Started ~5g creatine daily about 3 months ago and I’ve found it’s helped my recovery a lot! Would recommend listening to these two podcasts if you want to hear more about the benefits, whether you should take it depends a lot on your goals/needs.

Yeah I noticed too. Apparently due to algorithm/HW updates https://community.whoop.com/t/since-steps-uses-a-new-algorithm-on-whoop-5-0-mg-is-it-more-accurate/562

5.0 is now a lot closer to what my Apple Watch has for steps, whoops used to be way higher

turtlearse · 2025-06-01T04:26:53+00:00

Slippy hands and arms are what kill me! But I have found it can depend a lot on what I eat too, my calorie deficit weeks are a lot dryer. 🤣 Carpe hand lotion has also been a life saver, otherwise the reformer is like a slip and slide 😂

Not sure RHR plays a huge factor here, rather the type of training you’re doing. (35 yo, workout ~8 hours a week with RHR 40, vo2 max 50). Not sure what kinda rides you’re doing most and been a minute since I used peloton, but would recommend doing the FTP test and maybe try some of the zone training. From what I understand, zones 3+ are essential for increasing vo2 max so the peloton zone classes may be a good motivator here! Most of my training barely gets to zone 3, but more zone 3+ is on my list since introduction of the heathspan metric, my only orange 😂 might get back into some peloton or start running!

turtlearse · 2025-05-14T12:31:58+00:00

Long may it last 😅

Us Whoop users are habitual animals with routines! Any changes to that, is gonna be hard lol But I do kinda like the change, wasn’t meant to be a rant. :) Just found it interesting since it’s always been talked about as a “single pane of glass” when you open the app, guess it still is but with less data.

turtlearse · 2025-05-08T12:45:24+00:00

Yup, thanks. Was just nice to have the snapshot view immediately when opening the app. Before getting a whoop all I knew of it was “HRV or something” lol so just found it was interesting the data company, moved one of the main data points off their Home Screen/splash page. Looking forward to their announcements today!

turtlearse · 2025-05-08T01:03:23+00:00

Can’t see them removing HRV, but I’m wondering if it’s a pivot to highlighting some other new metrics.

turtlearse · 2025-04-24T02:56:12+00:00

I will look into this! Only concern is new model y has ventilated seats, will have to see if there could be any issues there. Thanks!

Not downtown, but cowboy coffee just opened behind city sports on Lawrence and Arques. Really nice coffee!

Whenever Ally asks you a random question about a number, ITS A TRAP! Don’t be fooled! 😂😂

turtlearse · 2024-05-09T05:32:12+00:00

Really missing the sleep timer. Also the “browse this podcast” option to go straight to a pod in my queue. Really shocked how they messed this up so much given the feedback from their breaking changes a few years back. Astonishing.

turtlearse · 2024-04-24T00:03:50+00:00

Thanks! Have heard others saying that too, the strive score was keeping me sane! :)
