@ytrevino1977 I say you’re already a pretty good runner since most people don’t run 8 miles and even less run it in less than 1 hour 15 minutes. But that said a 8 mile run is a pretty big effort but still “just” a 1 hour 15 minute training. While a 2 hour zone 2 bike ride is pretty doable for...

@ytrevino1977 No, with running you tend to be in a higher zone (of a 5 zone system) too quickly because running is zone 2 for an beginner to intermediate runner is just about quicker than walking. And that is an awkward pace because it feels too slow to run and too fast to walk. So you end up...

@jamesbates With running it’s particularly hard to be in zone 2.

@chibisensei21 Cycling seriously for a couple of months now and I’m able to do 4,5 hours unbroken at the moment in zone 2.

@dawn16 Haha true!

@jaz2016 If you’re crying it’s definitely not zone 2, haha

@childofgod418 95% zone 2, 5% zone 5 all-out intervals.

@mcewan_15 Link doesn’t work

@lilfoxkit Sorry mate it’s not that I’m defending the patent system I’m just translating what I think makes a patent defendable in this situation. A rod end bearing is also not something new and I remember that “throwing existing parts together” is also not something defendable. The “rules” are...

@lilfoxkit If you look at the patent it’s not about the paper form or the adhesive but about how the adhesive is applied to the paper.

@lilfoxkit Is it enforced?

@lilfoxkit It is that’s why the Post-it is not patented at all. Using the name Post-it is a brand infringement.

@caleb_m I don’t think it works like that. Because if it does the rogue ropes and the JumpNrope have subtle differences as well. You can just add a small ring, bolt or bearing and it’s a new product. It will be a big exploitable loophole.

@mcewan_15 Rogue already had cable speed ropes in their shop in 2008.

@lilfoxkit I think you can patent everything you want but it will not hold up in court. There are companies that will help you out filing a patent, giving you advice if it will hold up in court and describe your invention. They are the one to blame here. The case I’m making, and you now did as...

@mcewan_15 Isn’t this a pretty generic patent? A handle with cable that is attached at 90 degrees. It’s a pretty obvious improvement on the original jump rope. And if I read the requirement of an patent: Link to patent It’s exactly the same patent as the RPM Speed Rope It’s always hard to...
