@rlacombe @Hybridathlete I mean, strength means something specific in running too. It is the hill sessions, tempo runs. Not pure speed, not pure endurance either. Very common usage for runners.

@stevemagness Biggest unlock for me was getting myself to be OK with the idea of driving to a run. It opens up so many more options, surfaces, terrain.

@FracSlap Are you actually seeing benefits fine-tuning for the petroleum engineering domain? my understanding is that fine-tuning works well for changing model behavior but for things like knowledge you are better off using a foundation model with appropriate retrieval or agent harness.

@round Man I’ve gone through so many iterations of link-related-text-excerpts in my career. This one is really true one of the best, but it is still pretty shitty. It’s just too much for non-power users. Speaks mainly to the fact that this is a really really hard UX problem.

@rlacombe @paulnovosad Exactly. The best videos are paper summaries.

This is fantastic! It's a good point about model knowledge vs. expert knowledge. I've built a personal AI stack for myself, but more from a rehab/prehab injury-prone perspective. I found that AI models are great at scheduling specific exercise programs for specific physical interventions. But honestly, for bigger picture stuff, my favorite source is YouTube. There are about 20 expert videos for any running-science question you could possible have. I wonder if scraping youtube transcripts would be the killer unlock..

@paulnovosad I recommend generating a knowledge base of exercise science literature for the type of events you target. I did something this earlier this year for trail running, which helped me train for a few ultras (including the Broken Arrow 46k this weekend!) -> switchback.run

this is great, awesome of you to opensource your stack I've run into many of the same hurdles building my own personal AI coach over the last year (mostly for rehab-prehab, less about run planning). You point about .md vs .html is a good one. My main gripe with "just use chatgpt" is that I actually want a "day plan" interface that I can check-off, add notes, etc. I'm used to a paper training journal, so I need that surface. I have an app that adds UI on top of all this, but pure codex/claude is certainly attractive: per-token pricing is way more expensive than monthly plan pricing 😅
