Week 9 - Let's Party With Miles!

Happy Monday AAC Team!

We are 876 strong today, up from 835 last Monday. 41 new faces and the participation in here lately has been awesome to watch.

First, lets talk event. 16 of you are signed up, so we are running two teams of 8 with people covering swim, bike, run and hiking on both sides! And we got our first sponsor - Maple Boost Nutrition is putting up prizes for the winning team! On top of that every winner gets a $25 gift card to The Feed. That one is not sponsored (yet), that is just a gift from me :).

Most Miles in a Month officially kicks off 9/1 and teams get released this week. You can still join before the start, just fill out the form and I will get you on a squad: Most Miles Form Sign-up

Here is how we are weighting it so that every discipline actually counts:

Run - 1 mile = 1 mile
Hike - 1 mile = 1 mile
Bike - 3 miles = 1 mile
Swim - 1 mile = 4 miles

That is built off time, not distance. An hour of running, an hour on the bike and an hour in the pool all come out to roughly the same number, which is the entire point. Thank you

@Ian Antonoff

for helping coordinate and brainstorm with all of this!

Secondly, a recap of what we pushed last week:

Connecting Claude to Zwift - and actually pushing real workouts to it, not just talking about them [link]
Endorphins app updates - what changed, plus 10 prompts to run against your own training data [link]
Diagnosing a bad run with Claude - the run that felt terrible, and what your data says actually happened
Backyard ultra training plan - off Last Soul Ultra weekend, built from your own history [link]
The beginner's guide to ultramarathons - off Leadville weekend. Everything from "what even counts as an ultra" to the prompt that builds your first plan [link]
Strength training as you age and what it does to muscle health - plus a strength coach prompt that interviews you, reads the research and books your next 90 days [link]
Buzz demo results - it is genuinely very cool.

Athlete OS Library prompt numbering is done -
@Lars Johan Ulveseth
thank you for the patience on that one, it took me about three weeks longer than it should have!

One I owe you - the wearable reporting screens. I said last week we would build the Whoop, Garmin, COROS, Oura and Strava dashboards and I did not get them to a place where they were strong enough to put out. I would rather push them a week than hand you something half done, so they are the first thing up this week.

Also a change on the newsletter. Athlete AI Weekly is moving to monthly. Honestly I do not have the time to make it strong every single week, and I am not going to put something out to you that I am not proud of. Monthly I can guarantee the quality without pulling from the rest of the roadmap.

Now here is what we have planned this week:

The wearable reporting screens - Whoop, Garmin, COROS, Oura and Strava. All the dashboards they put behind a subscription, built by us instead
@Eddy Fuller
- the jump height simulator, finally getting to it
An aero post on bike fits using the thermodynamics repos
A squat form model - using vision models to check your actual squat form

Final notes - the poll turned up something I did not expect. Strength is now the second biggest discipline in here at 43.8%, ahead of cycling! That is awesome and I want to build toward it properly instead of guessing at it. So the poll below is on strength - what do you actually want built? Vote and whatever wins is what we build!
