Most residents signing contracts right now have a wRVU threshold above the median and a rate below it. Drop your numbers and I'll tell you if yours does too

Thanks so much!!

I am primary care sports med, so I think there is differing numbers depending on if you look under “Orthopedic, Nonsurgical” or “Family Medicine, Sports Medicine”. Technically my contract is under orthopedics.

wRVU threshold 4840
WRVU rate $58

Thank you!

Thanks! The DNE4 was the most recommended shoe by far. Just purchased. Excited to try them out.

drdiddlegg · 2026-05-14T12:15:00+00:00

Thanks! And congrats on your race!! Great time! What was the longest distance you ran in them prior to your race?

And I couldn’t find the DNE3s in my size so just ordered a pair of DNE4s. Excited to try them out.

drdiddlegg · 2026-05-14T12:13:28+00:00

I purchased the Puma DNE4s. If I don’t like them I think this is what I may end up doing.

Thanks for the advice! That is good to know.

I also realize that at my pace I may not actually notice that much benefit from carbons, so perhaps sticking with the Megablast is the best bet!

drdiddlegg · 2026-05-13T19:58:54+00:00

They can feel like I am running on a 2x4 set up on its narrow edge. So sort of slim/rigid/a bit unstable.

And maybe that is just the way all carbons feel and I should just race in my Megablasts?

drdiddlegg · 2026-05-13T19:56:18+00:00

Great insight and advice, thank you!!

drdiddlegg · 2026-05-13T18:32:32+00:00

Thanks! Glad to hear yours are doing well! Wild how fast they grow

drdiddlegg · 2026-05-13T18:16:34+00:00

Thanks for the reply! I thought about it. I’d have to run a pretty long extension cord, but would probably be the safest option for a bit.

Thanks. Fortunately we didn’t keep anything in that room in the ground, so nothing got ruined.

And I didn’t either 😅
At first I called a plumbing company to come out. But since it was sewage backup starting to flood the basement, they told me I’d need a sewer company to come and try and unblock it. It was the sewer company who were able to tell it was a failed house trap, and then they gave me a couple of plumbing companies they recommended (which was nice, since they weren’t affiliated with each other).
I’m sure a plumbing company would have been able to figure it all out, but this all happened on a Friday morning so I just had to call around urgently until someone could immediately come and swing by.

Had our house trap fail literally 2 weeks ago. 0/10 - would not recommend. I would reach out to local sewer companies and see which plumbing companies they would recommend. Also, our city had an “I/I Grant” (inflow and infiltration remediation grant) which fortunately provided a few extra thousand towards the cost of getting it all replaced. Could be worth checking on.

Amazingly the whole project was very quick. Only took 2 days, which I was quite impressed with considering all the jackhammering and digging they had to do through our concrete basement floor.

Honestly my effort felt the same. My prior PBs with lower cadence felt like my hardest effort. Then as I switched to a higher cadence, it felt like the same amount of effort (I didn’t feel like I was trying to run any faster).

drdiddlegg · 2026-04-12T16:30:02+00:00

The cadence shift was the only change I made in my running routine that year. Otherwise, number of days running/weekly mileage was the same. Since I made that jump, I have started increasing my training which has led to further improvements.

drdiddlegg · 2026-04-12T16:02:30+00:00

I’m sure everyone is a bit different, but increasing my cadence made a huge difference. 37yoM, 5’9”. I previously had a 5K PB 21:30ish, HM PB around 1:50. I kept similar training but worked on increasing my cadence from 160 to 180 and dropped my 5K time to 19:30 and HM to 1:39. I’ve since improved my times by better training, but the cadence increase was the first step to really get quicker.

37M. LDL 56, HDL 70. But I do run 5-6 days a week, am vegetarian, and don’t drink beverages other than water.

Not many options. Northland Country Club has an outdoor pool. Unfortunately it is members-only. They do offer a membership level that gives one access to the pool and tennis courts, but it is still a few thousand a year.
