I just got free Gemini + 400 GB Google Drive for 12 months.

I’ve been using Claude for my work for the past few months. I’ve been very satisfied with it. Even the Claude Sonnet is already good enough for me.

But with Gemini plan, I think I will unsubscribe my Claude plan to save some money. But I’m not sure how good Gemini is for coding (mainly BE using Golang in fintech industry). Is there any suggestion to optimize it?

Is there any skill I can use? Is it able to connect to MCP? Can the standard Gemini plan be connected to third party harness?

In case someone argues me against unsubscribing. I live in a third world country. Claude plan for 12 months costs 1/3 of my monthly salary. And it’d keep increasing because the currency is so fucking weak.

As ultramarathon becomes more popular, and we see more recreational runners achieve beyond 50k. Will Strava release Best Efforts categories beyond 50k? Such as 50 miles, 75k, 100k, and 100 miles.

I’m not an ultramarathoner yet. But I plan taking on a 50k trail race next year and then beyond that.

I would also like to see an ultramarathoner account and check their ultra records without having to scroll down so much.

So I discovered several issues with Strava sync lately

1. Workout when smartwatch HR is recorded partially

So, I use Huawei Watch. The HR data syncs to Apple Health. I assume Hevy tracks the HR data from Apple Health. But, somehow, Hevy only records the HR in the short time range.

So let’s say I do workout for 40 minutes from 10.00 AM. I always wear the watch. But somehow, Hevy only records the HR in the last 20 minutes. It doesn’t record the HR in the first 20 minutes. I’m not sure if the problem is with Hevy or with Apple Health. This has happened several times.

And there’s an issue regarding this with the Strava sync. Strava only records the time when the HR is recorded. So, the Time inputted in Strava is 20 minutes instead of 40 minutes.

2. Updating Hevy workout after uploaded to Strava

So, sometimes I forget to add an exercise in the first log record. I usually just turn it on at the start of the workout and input them in the end of the workout.

So, after I submit the record, and then it posts to Strava. I will update the Hevy record and more exercises again. But during this update, Strava only updates the title and the description. It doesn’t add the new exercise. Hence, the volume log on the Strava post will be lower than the actual Hevy log (let’s say the original post records 3000kg volume, and then I add new exercise worth of 250kg, Strava doesn’t take the new 250kg load).

So, is there a way to fix this issue? Would removing Strava post and then update the Hevy log again trigger a new post to Strava?

So, I’ve been uploading photos to my past activities. Mainly the ones with friends.

But I notice on the Photo Grids (the ones on the main profile page) that sometimes it’s uploaded to the top of the activity (it becomes the latest photo). And sometimes it’s uploaded to the correct timeframe.

Let’s say I already have photos in July activities. And then I uploaded a photo on one of June activity. Sometimes on the Photo Grids, it’s positioned ahead of July photos (basically become the latest photo). And sometimes it’s positioned before any of July photos (need to scroll down the photo grid).

Why is this the case? What if I wanna make sure the photos positioned in the correct timeframe? So the latest photos are always the latest and past photos are in the past.

I have checked the photo time metadata and it has the correct date too.

I just started strength training using random exercises I found on internet. It’s all over the top and I’m not sure if it’s effective and I’m not sure if my form is correct.

My objective currently is to reduce the pain around my leg during a run (runners knee or ITBS). It usually happens after a continuous run of 5k. And then pain around knee would come and go along the run until 10k. I’ll go slower or walk when I feel it, and then run again when it disappears.

Another issue is with my arch/heel. It feels sore but not continuously. I don’t know if it’s plantar fasciitis or not. I know it happens when I lace my shoes too tight. It will disappear when I loosen the lace. What a weird symptoms.

So this is my program for ST. Anyone can give me feedback? What to drop or add?

Squat: 3x15

Walking Lunges: 3x10. I feel like pain on my knee but not very long and not continuous, it comes and goes, is it because of bad form?

Lunges: 3x10. Similar knee pain.

Glute Bridge: 1x15, DNF because sharp pain on hamstring

Calf Raises: 3x15. The easiest

Tibialis Raises: 3x15. Also easy. But my shin feels tight and burnt in the end of each set (DOMS or bad form?).

Single Leg RDL (no weight): 1x10 each leg. Didn’t continue because my form and stability are very bad.

Single Leg Band Curl: 3x10 each leg. 4 kg band. Manageable but I don’t like it because the band is annoying.

Plank: 1min and then 30 secs

Wall Sit: 2x30 secs

sumpah gw udah enek banget sama TWS, entah gw yg emang teledor atau gimana tapi sering banget kena sial sama TWS

gw mungkin udah habis jutaan buat ganti2 TWS karena kesialan

nih track record kesialan gw sama TWS (bulan adalah bulan pembelian based on e-commerce data)z

Agustus 2022: Fiil T1 Lite. 499rb. Somehow tiba2 ga nyala sebelah.

January 2023: Soundpeats Truengine 3SE. 519rb. Ilang sebelah.

January 2024: Soundcore Dot Life. 567rb. Casenya ketinggalan di family mart.

Februari 2025: Soundcore A30i. 300rb. Baterai tiba2 soak. Dari full sampe empty cuman itungan menit. Idk kenapa.

Oktober 2025: Earfun Free Pro 3. 680rb. Ilang sebelah.

December 2025: Earfun Air Pro 4i. 460rb. Penyok karena jatuh terus kelindas kaki orang di trotoar. Ga bisa nyala lagi.

Dan ini belum semua. Sebelum yg Fiil T1 Lite. Ada haylou & redmi yg ilang sebelah juga. Somehow gw ubek2 di ecommerce ga muncul riwayatnya.

Kesel banget gw. Dalam 3 tahun udah habis >3 juta cuman buat TWS yg ketiban sial mulu. Di tahun 2025 aja gw 3 kali beli TWS karena masalah ini itu.

Dijual kagak laku. Nyari yg jual sebelah juga susah. Barang setengah juta langsung jadi rongsokan karena kesialan doang. Barang2 gw yg lain (hp, gadget yg lain, barang2 fashion, dll) kagak ada yg sefast moving ini.

Sekarang gw lagi ga make TWS apa2 karena udah males banget belinya.

Ada saran sebaiknya gimana? Gw udah kapok banget beli TWS. Tapi gw tetep perlu TWS yg bisa noise cancel buat meeting online di luar. Sama buat dengerin lagu di kantor.

Kalo beli kabel entar kabelnya yg gampang putus. Apalagi hp & laptop gw kagak ada jack port. Jadi musti beli adaptor lagi yg berpotensi ngurangin kualitas suara.

Tambah lagi sering gw pake lari & ngegym. Repot make yg kabelan. Don’t tell me to buy shokz for running specific because I’m broke.

In February, I had a 5k race under heavy rain. My smartwatch GPS was malfunction for around 1 mile. It tracked the run since the start line, but the GPS didn’t start until 1 mile.

I couldn’t verify the result. But the record result was quite surprising. I basically hit PB in all effort distance till 5k. And it still stays true to this day.

I thought the record was true because it make sense in the first glance, I went all out after all. But to this day, I’m still unable to beat any of them.

I started running in late November, so in February I still struggled with spiking HR and prone to knee pain. I did the race with many run-walks too. Now I’m able to run 8k continuously, and can run 5k intervals with no knee pain, but somehow none of them can beat that race effort

No matter how much I have improved, even with fastest interval and threshold I can reach, I still couldn’t beat any of those records. Even my multiple fastest 400m intervals haven’t reached that 400m effort on that race. And that’s with the better form, HR, and physique after 6 months since that race.

I believe there was something wrong with the record due to the rain or the malfunctioning GPS. And now I wanna exclude that race from any of my achievements, best efforts, and PB. But I still want it to be shown on my activity list.

Is there a way to do it?

I’m a beginner runner who just started running 6 months ago.

My usual HR is around 165 for 5k. And that’s with run walk with pace 8-9 min/km because sometimes it spikes to 180 and had to slow down or stop.

But today, somehow the HR is low. It’s consistently around 130s to 150s. And the final avg HR is 145. And this is me pushing myself too. The final pace was at 7.13 min/km for 5k straight without stopping or walking. I basically hit a PB out of nowhere.

This is very weird. Is there any inaccuracy here?

For context, I just started hitting the gym yesterday. It was my first time working out. And it was a pull move set. But I don’t think it would bring down my HR that much.

How do I know if the HR measurement was correct? Is there a way to recalibrate it before my next run?
