I know that ‘trend’ can denote associations with being a gimmick and often age poorly over time; however, sometimes something enters popular use as a trend, but proves to have staying power. In the early 90s for example, espresso based drinks were virtually a new thing for most in North America, but is now ubiquitous.

As it relates to fitness, is there a trend you’d like to see added to AF+? I’ll throw one of mine in the comments.

My husband of 14 years will be joining hyrox mixed doubles with his coworker in 3 months. He told me he was signing up but did not tell me he was signing up with his friend. He is very physically fit and so is his friend. I on the other hand love fitness but due to demands of motherhood (we have 3 kids ages 10,5, and 2) have not been exercising on a regular basis.

My issue is why he has not at the least told me that he was signing up with his coworker. I felt jealous and resentful for him taking on this new challenge with someone else when he knew that I would love to do it with him given enough time and encouragement. He is a great father to our kids, and i know 100% he is not cheating but i just feel that he has no regards for my feelings. I brought this up to him on many occasions but he refused to back out because he doesn't want to disappoint her after he committed to joining.

Am i being irrational? I am becoming very depressed lately, have contemplated leaving work (we work in the same place) because i feel like people will be talking behind our backs. I feel like a loser for my husband not choosing me. Am i over reacting?

I feel like hyrox is really just half of the issue. I felt a lot of resentment with him starting another hobby while im on the sidelines drowning with all the responsibilities of motherhood. We have since reconciled, we went out on dates a couple of times but i feel like its just a band aid and consolation prize for me agreeing for them to do it.

Seeing the other post about treadmill recommendations reminded me of this class which I posted about previously

The music and instructor vibes were great in this class, but it made it really irreplaceable since there’s no other class formatted like it. It’s really a massive loss if you ever wanted a long run in mostly steady state.

Another one that comes to mind was a class with Josh I posted about at the time which was 10/10 for music and Josh’s energy. It also put the harder work earlier in the workout which was completely unique. It was probably going to be an all time great if not the fact it was purged within a few weeks.

Anyone else experience the loss of a class that you feel was irreplaceable?

Most running caps seem to be one size and those are nowhere close to fitting me. Even when adjustable, it sits way too high on my head. I see that Lululemon does offer two sizes with one being L/XL, but I have my doubts.

For context, I wear the size 7 7/8 for profit New Era baseball hats. As the title says, I also would like a very breathable cap. Any recommendations?

I started my annual membership with Strava less than a month ago. Barely a week later a two week Runna promo came up so I tried it and would now like to add it.

They offer a pretty good rate for a combined annual membership. I was looking to see if I could update my subscription to combine the two, but I’m not seeing anything. On the browser there’s even a link, but once I click, there’s nothing there.

I get that there’s already been a one-time payment for the annual Strava subscription, but are there really no options to have any sort of value to add the Runna subscription? Could be anything: pro rating the annual subscription, discounting the monthly subscription, or something else.

If not, I feel that’s very poor service for subscribers. It’s all owned by Strava and it’s very much in their ability to do so. But if I’m missing something, let me know.

I received a two week free Runna trial. I’m on week three, so paying for at least a month. I feel the programs and tempos have been quite accurate in finding the sweet spot for being challenging but doable. I’ve also loved having the audio pace alerts which is not a feature I’ve used before.

And this is more a reflection of my ignorance until now, but I didn’t know Apple Watch has had pace alerts (including audio) built into the workout app. And though I had never programmed a workout before, I wasn’t surprised you can create your own segments.

So it brings me back to the question in the title: can I effectively get the Runna experience simply by providing my 10 km time, goals and availability in an AI app, and then create those runs in the Apple workout app? It’s nice that Runna takes care of this and integrates it, but it also doesn’t seem very arduous either. But perhaps I’m overlooking something.

Unrelated question, but: does Runna adjust your workouts if your performance changes over time?

Rain forecasted throughout the day, but we’d been planning on attending today for a while. I’m wondering if small crowds (and lines) offset dealing with the weather. Are the rides still enjoyable when it’s raining?
