I ran on a Woodgate treadmill back in 07 and it had the same type of belt. It was those strips of rubber like a track instead of a belt. That thing was awesome. It was cushioned and held up fine to me running 80-85% for 200m intervals.
The standard treadmills scare me. The belts can slip with 240+ lbs running on them.
The cool thing about this free runner is that I could work up to a sprint like effort, jump off, and it slows down on its own. I could also start from a walk instead of having to jump on at speed. Thatās much better for interval work.
CPE requirementsā¦ I have 8+ years of higher education, passed two four-hour exams that have a pass percentage of like 49%, each, but lets make sure you get another 30-fucking hours of CPE every yearā¦
I get this; in my field thereās no push for CPE aside from those who take the initiative to CPE tend to move into better/leadership positions and make that dough.
Point is, this dilution of CPE really hinders those go getters from goinā and gettin it
Agreed. CPE is a good tool to learn additional / new things. Iām all about continuing education be it additional degrees, certificated, CPE, etcā¦ Even just reading about related topics in journals or books is worthwhile, imo.
However, after spending a couple grand and several months studying for and passing the CMA exams I think forcing CPE (which the IMA conveniently sells) is ridiculous. Luckily I have access to Lynda.com so I was able to meet the requirements for free this year, but it can be pretty costly to get 30 additional hours of education.
I feel ya on this. My wife has to meet certain CPE standards every few years. Sheās had jobs that offer 100% reimbursement and others that are 0%. It really limits her choices and sheās taken some CPE courses that are essentially useless just to satisfy some credits.
Cut up a full grown cherry tree one tank of fuel and oil. Zero problems and still had some edge left on the chain. Went to cut up the rest of that oakā¦ got my saw stuck twice and bent the bar. Time for a new bar.
Sister in lawās car is having electrical gremlins. Blowing fuses and relays all over the place. Come to find out that car has issues with the computer not being grounded properlyā¦ so I grounded it.
So far so good. If only GM did it right the first time.
At the airport, I fit all my stuff in my travel duffel. Wife has a giant suitcase. Go to weigh itā¦ 55lbs. She packs for herself for 7 days and itās 55lbs!!! .
Of course my duffel is now packed to accommodate her sweaters and my easy travel as turned into carrying bricks.
Elbow, Iāve had it for a long time, its mostly managed but I get a flare up now and again so I was trying something new. This was just an initial stretch with arm out to the side, wrist flexed and head to the side.
Youāve got to get that good upright scap position, get your shoulder in the right spot, and externally rotate your upper arm bone in your shoulder BEFORE you extend your arm.
When you try that stretch with your shoulder inwardly rotated and slumped forward, all the pressure goes right into your bicep tendon.
Youāve got to work on turning your palm āupā and your thumb ābackā with your back muscles to get your arm bones in the right position first.
Many internet dudes rush past this important step.
Dickheads who cycle their bikes at night, under LED streetlights, without lights on their bikes and dressed in dark clothes. I consider running them over, it would be doing the gene pool a favour.
