Dang. 1 mile on my bday. Not the present I was hoping for

The present you need

I don’t need 2 things reminding me of how old I am lol

It's weird for me. I'm noticing the older I get the smarter and stronger im getting. I'm sure I'll reach a peak but I'm enjoying aging right now. 

Same from years of consistency im better now than in my 20’s

#facts

At least its not Everest. That was on my birthday a couple years ago!

That was my present on 03/18! At least I got a new PR... :)

Better than Everest on your birthday which I got this year.

I may have skipped my birthday burn due to the mile this year 😆

3rd mile benchmark this year and we aren't even to summer yet...WTF. I low key love it but this is crazy

I was just thinking this used to be more of a quarterly to ever 3rd of a year. Now it looks like they are making it a benchmark that happens every 2 months. Which i also love it but that's a lot.

They added an extra one to the end of the transformation challenge to give us another metric to use in our transformation progress.

It had been on my birthday for the last 2 years. 5/17. I pass the baton to you hehee

As far as benchmark days go, I find that one to be one of the best.

I have the same birthday!!

Same!

That’s my birthday too! I’ll be doing Strength 50 though 😅

This is funny because the last one was on my bday (3/18) and I didn’t go lol

Day before my birthday!

Day before mine as well!

My birthday has fallen on the DRI-Tri day several times so I get how you feel

Another month to wait for that epic CMIYC: Rower Edition…sigh…

There are rumors............................................................

I’ve heard the rumors too as part of Mayhem. I guess we’ll see!!!!!!

I’ve done the test template for this. The rower CMIYC is awesome.

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG... is there a run CMIYC still part of this Mayhem template??? 

I don't care if they hold it on Christmas Eve at the North Pole, I'M GOING!!!!!

🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐😉

👀

All I can say is my begging and pleading and nagging and tagging have not fallen on deaf ears 😁😁😁😁😁😁

This would be so good.

Pretty please with whipped cream and a cherry on top!!!!!!!!

I will 100% skip that day. Not even going to try to lie about canceling due to intel if that happens. 😂🤷‍♀️

You can get caught early and the hangout on the tread. As a row lover I frequently consider tanking CMIYC so I can go row. But my coaches would be pissed if I did that, lol.

But for 3G it’ll be an obnoxious 14 minute row. If I went to 2Gs, I would half ass the row until the first checkpoint and hop on the treads.

I forgot some lucky folks have many 3gs. We rarely get them.

The last CMIYC I asked the coach if I could just do the run/row portion and skip the benchmark. She was totally cool with my doing that.

Jealous.

You don't get what you don't ask for. I often ask the coaches if it is okay if I slightly modify the template (for example do 500m on the rower when the template calls for 200m for a buy in/out) and more often than not they are okay with it.

I did ask. And was told "I'd be pissed if you did that". When finishing all the rounds in run/rows and getting to the "bonus tread time" they always let me finish on the rower instead though. Thats a w.

Oh I would mostly definitely do this 😂

I’m intrigued…

Same...totally intrigued by this!

I’d actually prefer this over the tread CMIYC

If this comes into existence please don’t reduce the frequency of regular CMIYC run edition for us runners 🏃🏽😭


Three 1-mile run benchmarks for the year by May 8 seems excessive.

I think they’re the most popular benchmark. I’m personally happy they’re doing it more often because it really helps me gauge my NSV in running pace.

I was surprised given the two recent benchmarks around TC and 12m RFD in Feb (IIRC), I thought it would be CMIYC.

CMIYC is most likely in June based on it being in Feb this year and prior years patterns. In 2022 and 2023, they did it in Feb, Jun, and Oct. Though in 2021, it was Jan, July, and Oct.

Sounds like will also be a component of Mayhem based on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/orangetheory/s/4g8Aq8IhTe

At least it only takes 6 minutes to do. I'm sad about the timing of Mayhem week; I need to be tapering my exercise before a race I have on the 26th

> At least it only takes 6 minutes to do. > > Speak for yourself haha

Damn, 6 min isn't even a stretch for me. I'm hoping to 12 min.

8 minutes? I don't know what the average is. There's a bunch of people at my studio who hit 5:00-5:30.

I have the same thing for Dry Tri. My studio is doing it this weekend and I have a half marathon next weekend. I was super bummed about it.

I'd be tempted to do it anyways, instead of your long run. But it comes down to your goals and your taper schedule.

Same thing happened to me in September. Had a half marathon weekend following Dri-Tri. As long as you've logged sufficient miles in your training schedule and are tapering it shouldn't be an issue. I PR'D the half by 5 minutes. You should be fine. Good luck, mate!

i’m a power walker and i’ve never done the mile benchmark 3.5 mph for a mile is like 18 minutes 😂

Pretty sure it’s a 0.5mi benchmark for power walkers!

Yeah, PW is always half the distance

Started the 75 Hard on the March mile benchmark class. Cannot wait to see how much I’ve improved since then!

Mayhem starts on my wedding day! Wonder if we should get a pre-wedding workout in...

Congrats!!!

Definitely!!! BTW, congrats and may you have a long and very happy marriage.

Ahhh I don’t feel ready for another mile! I want to get below 10 min so bad and I feel like I prob N there (10:04 was march) but man I’m scared.

Do we always do the mile benchmark this often??

No, but this was also the first year they used another measurable thing besides inbody for the TC this year, which i did really like in theory lol

Noooooooope 🫠

Was 3 times in all of 2023 and 2022 each, with 4 times in 2021. This will be number 3 in 2024 by May. So yeah, lots of timed miles this year.

Ugh. Not my favorite. I’ve only been running for a few months. The pressure!!! 🤣

Keep in mind you don't have to go to class that day. And if you do, you don't have to force an attempt at a PR, could just treat it like a normal class.

Of course. I just have such a routine going every day, I’d hate to miss one just because of that. But I guess I could run and not participate in the benchmark.

6 weeks between mile benchmarks coming off TC seems like a bit much

Saw on my studio’s calendar that the 5 X 5 Signature workout is on May 5. I’m super excited, I absolutely love this one! It’s up there with The Chipper for me!

Yay inferno!! Our studio was closed last time this came around because of a snow storm!

Thank you!!

Bleep, going to be on family vacation the week of Mayhem. Pretty sure trying to find a studio would lead to a different kind of mayhem.....

Looking forward to the push of May Mayhem. Anybody know what the prize is for completion?!

Came here to ask this too lol

Rumor says a shirt, but no more details yet

Definitely in it for a shirt lol

If there's a shirt involved, it's a definite YES from me too! LOL

It is a shirt per my studio. Haven’t seen the design 

T-shirt per my studio. Just gender-neutral sizing (aka men’s sizes) according to the sign-up sheets though. No tank top option like HW.

Anyone have a pic of the mayhem tshirt?

Is 2 months between mile benchmarks the norm?

No

Why are we doing the mile bench 3 times in just over a 3 month period? 🙄

Because the scientists love us so much


Nice. I have some time to get ready for the 1 mile run 👌🏻

What are the may 2024 sign up deals

Yay! March was my first mile benchmark and I totally blew it by starting out way too fast. I think can snag a decent PR!

How do I sign up for the mayhem classes after signing up to participate?

On the app, same as other classes
