[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

From being at the finish line cheering for KC finishers to being a #KhardunglaChallenge finisher myself. 😇

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

At the finish line of the 72km #KhardungLaChallenge cheering for the finishers 😃🔥

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@satvikputi Good luck Satvik! 🙌🏻

[Alex Predhome, Track and Field Enjoyer @Predamame]

Running is not cortisolmaxxing. Microsoft Teams is.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Bryan Johnson just discovered fatigue and rebranded it as "biological age..."

Newsflash: Jet lag TEMPORARILY impacts physical performance.

That has NOTHING to do with biological age.

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@prasantnnaidu That’s because you’re feeding PN the runner first! 😂😛

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@sandeepvarma15 @therunninggenie Thankyou sir!

@COROSGlobal doesn’t even bother replying, have followed up multiple times through so many channels.

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@COROSGlobal Can you guys please reply? 😅

Been following up multiple times regarding my COROS API Application, but keep getting ignored.

Have even followed up on Linkedin with a few of your employees, again no reply.

Please do better to developers.

Garmin ✅
Apple Health ✅
Suunto ⏳

Feels good that @therunninggenie is finally no longer dependent on just Strava for running data.

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@__daijobou @therunninggenie Thankyou Jatin! :)

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

One of the most fascinating things to have discovered today! 😁🫡

[Arnav Gupta @championswimmer]

When you leave an HFT, they put you on a non-compete for 1 or even 2 years! This is the biggest gift from HFTs to open source world.

Aman Gupta is being paid by Jump Trading (to sit at home) just added multi-token prediction to llama.cpp which speeds up local LLM models by 2x

I did do EBC on impulse, my colleague simply invited me one month prior since there was one spot that opened up in his trekking group.

But I was in a very good shape fitness wise thanks to 150-200 km of running every single month prior to that.

I was a bit nervous heading in, but thankfully the mountains supported me and had no trouble. 😁🙏🏻

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

Looking back at my Everest Base Camp journey after 365 days. 🏔️

Still can’t believe my first and only trek till date was such an impulsive decision. Grateful! 😁🙏🏻

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@COROSGlobal they don't bother replying to developer requests, not even an automated email. Have tried multiple times!

AmazFit they don't seem to have direct API integrations as per their website, probably will have to try through third party integrations like Google Health (Android) and Apple Health (iOS).

As of now, I am happy to integrate with the companies that are willing to share their watch data instead of worrying about their market share. 😁

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@runkarthikrun @therunninggenie It has a good number of global runners using it? Targeting Polar as well next for the same reason.

It's been frustrating integrating with Strava (they also keep changing their developer policies), so reaching out and integrating with watch companies directly.

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@keerthisiddeshw @Agent_Oli Maybe the universe finally wants you to try trail running 😁

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@chiragkothari @therunninggenie I had applied just before it got closed in January.

Got lucky there I guess.

I am experiencing the same problem now with COROS though!

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

It's so beautiful and inspiring to see solo developers building cool stuff in the health tech space! 😁

[Bennett @b_nnett]

23.5 hours later... there's an app and it's open source.

It tracks activities & sleep. It has full sensor support: HR, SpO2, HRV, Temperature, Motion, etc.

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@ramprakash0324 None of the above! 😁

All of the above can vary so much depending on your life factors. Running isn’t linear.

Trying to enjoy my time on feet again and see where that takes me in the rebuild phase. 😌

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@nextgenh2o Haha ultrarunners are crazy indeed! 😂

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

A friend of mine after running for over 49 hours (the 100 miler trail had 8200m of net elevation gain)

He had just finished a 100 miler last month.

“June is for self care” 😂🫡

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@financiallynumb Have started integrating directly with watch data instead for the next phase of @therunninggenie

[Prashanth Vaidya @thecodemarathon]

@financiallynumb Actually no, my usecase to build for others and MCP only connects one’s own account to Claude.

I could do that before for free, now it requires a subscription too. Strava is very clever! 😛
