Has anyone seen the guy on TikTok that calls car dealerships to negotiate prices for people who pay him to basically get the price lower? He seems to go for at least $2,000 off MSRP and seems to know how to get a good deal from dealerships pretty much anywhere.

I’m just curious if you guys think this guy is actually legit and if it would ever make sense to hire someone else to negotiate a car deal for you, opposed to just going in yourself and trying to get the best price?

I'm mainly focusing on strength and Olympic weightlifting for the prospective future but I still run at least 4 times a week and I rely heavily on the daily suggested runs. I also have a polar h10 that I use but I'm not sure what other features I'm missing out on

I really don't want to get on medication again, my doctor had me taking amlodopine 10mg.

I'm 6 ft 1, 215lbs, 13 % body fat, I weightlift 3x a week, run 3x a week as well.

I'm trying to lower my sodium intake , only drink water except for coffee, not sure what else I can do

1 mile: 5:55 (today)

5K: 22:48 (May 2026)

Half marathon: 2:03 (March 2026)

Marathon: 5:03 (May 2026)

Garmin says my lactate threshold is 7:43 min/mi at 177bpm, and it gives zone 2 runs at 9:30 min/mi to 10 min/mi

Currently I do about 2 easy runs per week, 1 tempo/threshold or VO₂max workout, 1 long run, and lift in the gym 3 times a week.

Any suggestions on how to get under 20 minutes for the 5K?

She's 28 years old, VO2max 47, started running since our first turkey trot 2026 , 2 months ago she ran a 5k 29:30 average HR 179bpm.

She's doing a marathon training plan now, and she had a fitness test scheduled, she did the 5k 30:50 average HR 167bpm.

Garmin predicts 26:59 5K, says threshold is 8:28 min/mi at 177bpm

Can someone explain what is going on? Her RPE on all runs are always super high but then her HR will be fairly low

The AI recommendations are terrible, and the filters for finding teachers are honestly just as bad.

Why can’t I filter teachers by the lesson lengths they actually offer?
30 / 45 / 60 / 90 minute classes should be a basic filter.

Why can’t I filter by both price and lesson duration together? A $15 30-minute lesson and a $15 60-minute lesson are obviously not the same value.

Why can’t I sort by the actual final package price after discounts instead of the misleading per-lesson price? Or teachers who offer a "writing lesson" no audio or video

Why can’t I filter out teachers who take breaks longer than 5 minutes?

I really wish I could just type exactly what I’m looking for and get useful recommendations. For example, I searched for Spanish teachers offering 90 minute lessons, and the recommendations still showed teachers who don’t even offer them.

Instead, I end up spending hours searching through profiles, and even after finally finding teachers who seem decent, I still have to message them before booking just to find out things like:
“I don’t teach fully in the target language unless students are already C1.” Or refuse any reasonable lesson preferences
