my mate has been riding half as much as me and is faster, worked out why and its annoying

he does 3 rides a week, i do 5 or 6. hes been quicker than me since about may went through both our stuff and the difference is he goes properly easy on easy days. genuinely easy, like chatting easy. then he absolutely buries himself twice a week. i just ride sort of hard all the time, so hes doing less and recovering, im doing more and never actually recovering or actually going hard either. every ride is the same medium
the annoying bit is ive read this a hundred times and still did it

Would you pay for better Peloton analytics + AI training plans?

Genuine question for Just Ride users and ubscribers alike

I'm a Peloton owner who uses Just Ride to avoid the £50 subscription, and I've been frustrated that there's no decent way to track progress or follow a structured plan without paying full price

I'm thinking about building a web app that does two things:

  1. Tracks all your rides and shows you meaningful stats — output trends, PRs, fitness progress over time
  2. Al builds you a personalised training plan based on your actual goal - whether that's losing weight, improving output, or training for an event - and adjusts weekly based on how you're doing

Works for both subscribers (automatic sync) and Just Ride users (quick manual input after each ride)

Would you actually pay £8-10/month for something like this? And what would make it a no brainer for you?
