ICE: it's really bad and getting worse

I mean I am exaggerating, but not by that much. Not my normal walking pace of course, but I am pretty confident I could maintain a 5mph pace on a track for that long, likely a little faster if I was motivated. Maybe 17 minutes is the point I would consider a wager.

Olympic walkers can do this in less then 10 minutes believe it or not.

Dunno about the specifics, but I can see getting pretty good at cardio, but limited flexibility really impacting top speed.

I somewhat routinely run half a mile on the treadmill when I go to the gym and just stretching that out to 1.5 miles without working up to it? I might want to take an aspirin before hand…supposed to help with heart attacks, right?

If they have to be anywhere close to good form, 22 push ups in a minute is really hard.

I feel like we need to zoom out a bit from the specifics of the test and take glee in the fact that a significant percentage of the wannabe brownshirts are spending half an hour on this test, huffing and puffing with every ounce of their being, failing, and then having to tell their families why they are unable to nab that signing bonus they were talking about, that is in all likelihood the largest single payment they would have ever received in their lives.

It’s almost like a mini-Squid Game for these little fascists.

Push ups, if they let you get away with it, basically just dropping to the ground is fast and easier.

Walking and running are completely different. I can walk for hours. I can’t run very far without sharp pain. Maybe on a treadmill. Possibly on grass. There would still be hell to pay the next several days.

It’s more money than the vast majority of the country has seen at once. Only time I’ve seen more than that was after our house sale.

We talking nose to the ground, chin to the ground, or just past a right angle at the elbows? Also, I assume we’re doing hands straight beneath the shoulders.

If you give me a $100 bonus, I will watch the 8 minute video on the ICE website that breaks down the movement standards.

So you just casually want to make $750 per hour…kool

Who’s going to be the first one to sign up for ice, get the $50k, and then on the front lines of Portland, quit, pull out your frog costume and join the dance party?

Working for ice to take it down from the inside seems like the best bet. Unsure why Americans won’t do it.

This is also the way to get shot.

One thing I have not really considered is somebody running the 1.5 miles and then collapsing for an hour. When I run I go at a pace where I could hold a conversation while running (I don’t, but I could) and am totally fine and go about my day afterward. If somebody is willing to push themselves to their limit for 14 minutes and 25 seconds it’s entirely possible somebody who is really out of shape could do it.

So there is a new claim of someone ramming an ICE car???

this is what 3 or 4 and now so far each one the video shows they were lying.

long distance running is a huge crapshoot for me, my mile times vary by like 5 minutes from one day to the next depending on what i ate or the conditions outside.
