Too many. And most of them not used

This is the reason I love @farnamstreet.bsky.social

## 3️⃣ What did I learn?

- Setting up n8n on Elest.io was easier than expected.
- n8n runs smoothly and feels more performant than the cloud version.
- OpenRouter integrated seamlessly into my workflows.

## 2️⃣ Why did I do this?

- Until now, I’ve used n8n Cloud for my workflows, but I wanted more control.
- Goal: Test MCPs and see if they live up to the hype.
- A self-hosted instance provides more flexibility and independence.

Hey Jax, currently a mix of n8n cloud, local testing and I have one workflow self hosted on digital ocean.

Thx Martin

Thanks will check it out

uh this looks nice and makes a lot of sense

you have the code anywhere? or hosted?

Nice setup

Real talk - what to consider:

• It's a 6-day commitment
• Some sessions run up to 100 mins
• You need HYROX equipment access

But for €1/day? The value is incredible.

The good stuff:

• Workouts that grow with you
• Flexible timing for real-life schedules
• Smart recovery focus (thank goodness!)

Perfect fit if:

• HYROX isn't just a hobby for you

The best part?

You can actually fit this into a normal life. No insane 2-a-days or marathon gym sessions.

What I love most?

This isn't some crazy elite-only program or a watered-down beginner plan.

They've nailed that sweet spot where serious athletes can thrive without having to quit their day job!

Quick specs:
• Intermediate-friendly (3/5 difficulty)
• 6 training days/week
• 60-100 min sessions
• €29.99/month

And trust me - for expert programming from John Singleton and The Progrm team, that's a steal!

6. The midnight oil has a unique effect.

There's something magical about building while everyone's asleep.
You, your laptop, and the quiet. Plus, no one judges how many teacups are piling up.

Built the whole thing during my "night shift."

5. Launch when it's embarrassing

Started with 10 plans and a "sorry, it's basic" attitude.
Now at 39+ plans and growing.

Turns out other HYROX newbies didn't care about perfect - they wanted help finding a program.

4. Messy data is everyone's problem.

I found myself copying training plans into a 3 AM spreadsheet to compare them.
Many other people likely hate that as well.

I made it simple: time needed, sessions per day, fitness level 1–5.
Done.

3. Build what confuses you.

Every time I got stuck, I asked myself, "What confused me when I was searching for a training plan?"
Boom - instant feature clarity.

Being lost is actually a superpower when you're building.

2. Smaller = Actually finishing

My first attempt?
A massive "fitness directory" that never saw the light of day.

Second try?
HYROX training plans.

I built it in 21 nights between bedtime stories and midnight tea. Sometimes, less is more.

1. Your best idea is likely already open in your browser tabs.

I spent weeks overthinking "market opportunities."
My Chrome crashed from 50+ training plan tabs.

Sometimes your best project is the mess you're already trying to organize.

Price Breakdown:

€40/month = €1.33/day

That's less than your daily coffee ☕

For elite-level programming from a top competitor? Not bad at all!

⚠️ Reality Check:

• Major time investment
• Not for beginners
• 6 days = no joke
• Double sessions need planning

Be honest with yourself here!

✅ The Good Stuff:

• Learn from elite athlete
• Super structured program
• Professional coaching
• Clear progression path
• Varied training styles

No guessing what to do next!

Who's this for?

You'll love this if:
• You're podium-serious
• Can train 2x daily
• Have solid fitness base
• Ready for serious commitment

Not your casual workout plan!
