What in the name of all holy suffering is this new Primers. I’m ready to go to sleep…not hit tomorrow’s Half Monty with a positive mindset.

Hey @Rupert, in the name of GvA and all that was SUF can you please help us to understand what the new Primers video is trying to communicate?
Please?
Pretty please?
Pretty pretty please with misery sprinkles on top?
For the life of me I don’t understand the connection between the workout’s purpose and the removal of all the SUF stuff with Knights prepping for the battlefield but most vexing and perplexing to me is the opening sequence. Please help me understand. I beseech you.

And why the end has been cut short. It now finishes abruptly after the final sprint.

@Rupert workout still appears to be short. It’s 43:30, used to be 45 mins.
Isn‘t it just a commercial for this yearly BEKING event? Maybe it is there because someone likes the event so much or because it was well paid for?
yeh, like a promo for its, I guess. I can see that. What I can’t see is how it connects to motivating us to:
- DO the workout
- get our heads PRIMED as “Tomorrow will be time to face your challenge”, “To take on a race, a big event, a tough group ride, or a fitness test”
The cycling footage is excellent it’s just almost 100% absent of almost anything motivational. Much of the original Primers text remains (notwithstanding the de_Sufed stuff) but it’s lost context, doesn’t match the content and just leaves me confused.

timings are a little different in the newly remastered (aka butchered) version.
eg. warmup is 6:49 vs 7:35, rest intervals are several seconds shorter and the final cooldown ending is 2:14 vs 3:00.

For my FF last week, I did “No Place Like Home” for my primer workout.

I refuse to update to the new lifeless version. If that’s forced, I’ll just do something else. NPLH is a pretty decent alternative!

Poor @Rupert, it can’t be easy to sit on his hands not to reply how someone (likely) is being a corporate arse about the de-SUFing, while at the same time trying to make hooliganism great (I was tempted to add again, but it never was great. Ever.)

I have no sympathy, frankly. At the bare minimum, he’s complicit. Why would he make his profile pic here one of himself wearing that T-shirt? We’re coming up to the 3rd year of The Company ignoring a reasonable request that would be so easy to fulfil and cost them nothing.

I pay for too low attention to detail… I withdraw my sympathies.

@Rupert any answer as to the thinking behind the new primers?

Wahoo missed a golden opportunity to remaster this with footage of the 2023 winner of the Giro d’Italia. Then they could have called it… Primers Roglič
