@Brady_H It's a trip with the kids. It's a vacation without the kids.

When you take a vacation with children you need a second vacation after that (sans children) to unwind.

@DavidDack I'll train both ways, but it's podcasts not music. I'd never race with anything unless it's deep into a 100 miler or something. Then again, I tried that and only wanted it a few minutes at a time.

Runners, be honest. Are you a music runner or a no-music runner? Because some people need the playlist to survive the miles. And some people are out there raw-dogging a 10K with nothing but breathing, traffic noise, and their own bad decisions. Both are impressive. But one of them scares me a little

@mitchellh I've had the same experience so far, but letting it just grind a few things out while I didn't has been fantastic. It's a bit like the slow lava flows. They're inevitably going to get through any obstacle, but they're going to take a long time doing it.

Fable is a good model. As with all new models, it is simultaneously excellent and entirely unremarkable (relative to other models). It is slow and expensive, and the "loops are all you need" discourse they are pushing is obvious in the context of someone using Fable-class models What I've found so far is that for broad scope design (code architecture) tasks, Fable is unremarkable. Or, not better enough to justify its cost and speed. But in highly targeted goal-oriented loops, it is another beast entirely. It is very slow but produces very good results. I let it churn on optimizing a SwiftUI-layout resolver in Go I wrote and it was able to bring it down to an order of magnitude I could not reach myself (micro => nanosecond scale). But it took 2 hours and $40 to do it and I had to claw back some changes it overfit to Apple Silicon. Still, very worth it. In comparison, for "implement this feature/change" iterative work, I ran head-to-head Fable vs GPT5.5 vs. GLM-5.1. They all produced equally acceptable final results, but GPT5/GLM did it in a couple minutes and Fable was churning away for 40 minutes. And GLM cost me less than a dollar, GPT5.5 ~$1.50, and Fable cost $9. You can see that in this context, interactively working with an agent is nonsense. Its too slow. You need to write loops to keep the agent working and you probably want to highly parallelize the work being done. As with all things, I think a balance makes sense... My sense is that I'd reserve Fable for targeted, surgical analysis and work. Not for daily driving everyday tasks. I'm going to keep spending a shitload of money (relatively) and maining Fable for the rest of the week to continue to judge, will report if anything changes. I'll continue to head-to-head as well.

@UKFREEDOMUNITE @ComRicheyweb *favorite. You're a Texan now, remember.

@ComRicheyweb My favourite

At this point I’m a Texan 😂😂😂😂 Yall are so lovely. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

@NaithanJones What LLM are you using for this? I've built the beginnings of an assistant to do this but keep getting side tracked before finishing. My other agents keep getting my time to keep them spinning...

Hermes agent has been the single best remedy to my ADHD. I created a random thoughts vault in Obsidian and now whenever the flood of a million invasive thoughts come I just add them to this folder via speech to text. I then created a markdown called life priorities that explain to Hermes exactly what’s important for me by order of priority personally and professionally. I’ve instructed Hermes to review the Obsidian vault multiple times a day and map to calendar, email, projects in progress, etc and then cross reference the priorities and deliver to me a few things. 1. A cron that acts on all of this context to deliver a beginning of day and end of day (prep for tomorrow) newsletter 2. An agent that also uses this context to send me texts throughout the day as relevant things I may need to consider (this has taken a ton of tweaking but better now) What I want to build next? A listener, coach A tool that has access to my screen 24/7 and is watching what I am doing and delivering proactive insights via voice/audio as I’m working

@DavidDack You could argue for 2 daily pairs and 2 trail pairs to not run the same shoe on consecutive days. We'll pretend that's what I own.

@kylekriegel Daily, trail, speed. That’s probably the most defensible 3-shoe rotation. No notes.

How many running shoes are in your actual rotation? Not the old pair in the garage. Not the “maybe I’ll use them again” pair. The shoes you actually run in. 1 = normal adult 2 = practical runner 3–4 = understands the game 5–7 = shoe nerd 8–10 = hobby inside the hobby 10+ = you need shelving, not advice And yes, there is a difference between a rotation and a collection with excuses. Most runners probably need more miles, not another foam experiment. But I also know one fresh pair can fix your mood, your confidence, and maybe your entire personality for 48 hours. Be honest. What number are you actually at?

@DavidDack A half I ran by myself just to prove I could do it after a car wreck injury. It was the first time I'd broken 5 miles.

Tell a non-runner you run and the first question is always: “Have you done a marathon?” As if the 5K, 10K, half marathon, trails, track sessions, hills, early mornings, bad weather, and years of showing up are all just side quests. The marathon gets treated like the official stamp. Everything else is apparently just running DLC. But some runners never touch 26.2 and still train harder than half the people collecting marathon medals. What distance made you feel like running was finally “real”?

@DaveRBanerjee Not ideal, but I bet it was a fun 4 days for somebody.

lol

@waterandcoffee @Predamame That's quite the Strava Tax hedge!

@kylekriegel @Predamame strava, the app he's using, famously will deduct some distance after you finish sometimes. he was making damn sure he got that 42k

Never forget.

@DavidDack Real trail because most likely the trail runner has done road but the road runner often hasn't done real trail.

Which humbles runners faster? A road marathon or a real trail race Careful. Both groups get emotional here.

@Lex_Jurgen @RossDellenger @YahooSports They're not businesses. They're mostly public schools that receive tons of federal money and state money. Even the private schools receive tons of federal money.

@RossDellenger @YahooSports I 100% do not see the role of government intruding on a sports business. Now, if they want to stop any federal taxpayer funding for these businesses, great. But telling them how to run their business -- not particularly conservative, Teddy.

Exclusive to @YahooSports: Sens. Ted Cruz & Maria Cantwell detail their groundbreaking legislation: *1X transfer *5-yr eligibility/pro player ban *hard cap *5% max agent fee *"Lane Kiffin Rule" *optional pooling of TV rights *prohibits "super league" More- bit.ly/4uDX3HE

@DavidDack Completely agree, but 100 miles change your life.

The half marathon is the smartest distance if you have a job, friends, and a lower back. Long enough to respect. Short enough to survive with your personality mostly intact. The marathon takes over your life. The 5K hurts immediately. The half sits right in the sweet spot of “serious, but still socially recoverable.”

@Brady_H Having done both at some point in my life, mile 18 is much more difficult. You still have 8.2 miles to run all-out and you can't slow down or stop or the first 18 miles were a waste. When lifting, you can stop whenever. Maybe you shouldn't, but you can and nobody even knows.

Comparing 4–5 sets of squats to failure to mile 18 of a marathon is hilarious. By mile 18 you’ve been running for 2+ hours at 85% max heart rate. You get 3–4’ of rest before each set of squats while you scroll Instagram.

@UltraRunner26 I bet you lost more than one pound. And yes, humidity sucks.

🏃Nice run in Dallas this morning. Think I lost a pound though. No idea how you all do it with this humidity. 😂😂

@UltraRunner26 That's gonna hurt. Good luck!

It's not an Ultra, but we gotta mix it up sometimes. Time to see what the legs got for speed now. 🤞

@Brady_H This is accurate.

20 miles

@Brady_H @peterchng Oop, my bad. I guess I'm too used to Precision and them listing carb counts everywhere! And that's an expensive 100 calories lol.

@kylekriegel @peterchng The gel has 100 calories (25 grams of carbs).

Getting cheaper to run than it is to drive.
