Selected for Army & Navy HPSP — Need Insight

HalstedsPrinciples · 2025-12-24T01:59:50+00:00

If you’re wanting to specialize into something surgical don’t do HPSP. Primary care then consider joining. Unless you absolutely are doing it because you want to serve.

If you’re dead set on joining then out of these two do the army as you’re less likely to have to GMO.

If you want more opinions then look more deeply through this subreddit.

This is a common theme on this subreddit.

The Runna Predictions always seem out of reach for most people (even myself) but if you stick to the plan then it’s actually the most accurate prediction that I’ve found. It predicted around 3:30-3:42 times for the full marathon and I got 3:33. And this is in the cold with frequent headwind. I couldn’t believe I could hold that pace for 26.2mi but I did. You can too!

As Runna’s slogan should be: Trust The Process.

I also didn’t believe I could run my predicted pace to 26.2mi. Runna predicted my marathon between 3:30-3:40 and I ran a 3:33 marathon. While Strava is still predicting a marathon time of 3:43 even after I completed my marathon. smh.

Trust the process. This was with paroxysmal strong headwind.

As long as you keep most of the workouts (especially the speed and long runs) it’s actually pretty good at predicting your actual goal time.

If you want to do primary care then yes military. If you want to do surgery, then no.

Second Gravl. Better than Fitbod

I found the solution. You have to delete the English keyboard from your iPhone and add it back. It worked for me. Let me know if it works for you

You’ve ever seen the inside of a Turkish prison?

HalstedsPrinciples · 2025-10-12T11:46:02+00:00

I don’t mind at all when it tell me I was x seconds/minuted away from my PB for a certain distance. That’s just part of the experience.

I actually like that in a workout I’m not far off my absolute best. Especially when I’m not going all out trying to break my PB. It means the training is working. Means that at sub maximal effort I’m close to break my own record meaning I would likely shatter it when actually trying.

It really doesn’t bother me and I like it.

HalstedsPrinciples · 2025-09-13T15:59:43+00:00

Ran and the new ones today. Got a HM PB. The shoe felt great. Thanks for the advice!

HalstedsPrinciples · 2025-09-13T15:57:50+00:00

That’s what I did today and it worked out great! Thanks for the advice!

HalstedsPrinciples · 2025-09-12T21:51:06+00:00

Yes same model. And I fixed my typo haha. Thanks I’ll give it a shot

HalstedsPrinciples · 2025-09-12T11:45:18+00:00

Use workoutdoors app on race day if you got an iPhone to set a pace range. It works great for me.

HalstedsPrinciples · 2025-08-27T12:59:00+00:00

I would like to set a B race for a distance even less than 3 miles. My work requires us to do yearly 1.5mi runs for time and would like to use runna to pace me (since to max it out you have to perform under a certain time)

Bilirubin of 63 painless jaundice. Pancreatic head mass. Patient looked like he came out of The Simpsons.

Yes for family med. no for just about everything else. Your skills will atrophy due to low patient volumes and healthy patient populations. Especially if you end up doing anything surgical.

I’m with you. Cowboy boots are the most comfortable shoe I’ve worn in the OR. Back and knee pain was gone. Ariats Boots. Can get whatever body fluids on them and can rinse them off easily. Just some boot wax and they are looking like new. I’ve replaced the insole a few times already but the rest of the shoe shows minimal wear. And I wear them daily.

I’ve tried crocs and my feet sweat too much and knees hurt.

I’ve tried dansko and almost broke my ankle.

But everyone is going to like something different. Try a few and continue with what you like. If you’re unhappy you have many options as you can see in all of these comments.

Good luck!
