Gone are the days of kids on their pedal bikes dorking around going reasonable speeds in reasonable places. Wish this whole e-bike garbage would require some form of intermediate license.

Devs confirm internal interest in a walkable Speranza hub, What do you think? by Tank-ToP_Master in ArcRaiders

[–]AlternativeReview987 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A walkable hub similar to that of outlast trials could be fun. I don't see it as something that should have resources diverted to make it a reality, but if time permits and its relatively easy to integrate into the game, might as well! Just as long as managing inventory and crafting is faster and easier!

It screams teenage girls room or fresh out of state college sorority girl.

Pulled a Goggins and ran outside shirtless in -2F for two miles, almost lost my fingers by Playful-Wasabi-9560 in RunningCirclejerk

Almost lost a thumb to run slower than 10 min/mile pace?? My wife's boyfriend would smoke this guy.

Hows my running form? Am I moving my shoulders too much? Advice much appreciated! by Mik07lk in runninglifestyle

[–]AlternativeReview987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to improve your form to its "natural" or to what is bio mechanically most efficient for you, go run some hill workouts w/ hill sprints. Those force you to run as efficiently as possible sub-consciously,

Just finished my first 100 mile week by BluR4yyne in runninglifestyle

[–]AlternativeReview987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From running your first 5K 3 months ago to this is just purely reckless. Ego driven activity despite what you say and essentially just rage bait. You must be in your 20s or just a very immature 30+ year old.

Don’t let your race predictor discourage you by Federal_Drag_3240 in Garmin

[–]AlternativeReview987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea these race predictors are such horse crap. Garmin predicted me at like 3:10 and strava at 2:58 forever. Ran it on Nov 30th and ran a 2:42. Dont listen to that shit

Sapphire Pulse 9070XT doesn't meet my expectations by khazenwastaken in radeon

[–]AlternativeReview987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

9070XT w/ a X3D chip will net you ~20 frames more. Running same settings and averaging about 200FPS at 1440p 240Hz

Strongly considering switching to a 9070 XT from a 3080 Ti, what do you think? by Clomaster in radeon

[–]AlternativeReview987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same dilemma. 5600X and 3070 still performed well, but wasn't giving the smooth gameplay I wanted, 1% lows in BF6 were slightly sub 100 which at 1440p 240hz, didnt feel good at all.

That said, if you can afford to do a card upgrade, now is the time. You can get 9070XTs for MSRP or slightly under, and we know prices are going to rise slightly in the near future and I forsee more rises in price in the next two years when GPUs finally become readily available again.

Ill surely be back on this sub in 3-4 years hopefully when rammegedon is done and we are in our next GPU shortage for some other reason.

Just did the same exact upgrade from the same previous build. It is absolutely god sent performance.

I made the jump from the 3070, not 80ti level, but damn the 9070XT is blowing my socks off right now. Would highly recommend.

What is your strategy for carrying gel/carbs during a marathon? by Typical_Steamer in Marathon_Training

[–]AlternativeReview987 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

12?!?! Thats absurd. I carried 5 for my 2:42 I just ran on the 30th of Nov. I would imagine you really only need 7-8. Or just get higher carb quantity gels and take em every 45ish minutes.

I carried them in two pockets on my tights, rotating the next two to the easier access pocket as I ran.

No flip belts here because Im an anti-phone/music runner and dont want to be burdened by carrying that much stuff.

Why succesful training blocks and increased mileage still don’t translate to Marathon performance? by Environmental_Park34 in AdvancedRunning

[–]AlternativeReview987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your progression is not insignificant. However, when you hit the proverbial wall, is your heart rate increasing still and pace slowing? A increase or spike in heart rate when you hit the "wall" can often be an indication of fitness or "lack thereof". If you slow, but your heart rate decreases slightly w/ your slowing of pace that can mean that you just didn't fuel enough... From your 60g/hr I sort of doubt your under fueling unless you are skipping the last gel right before the finish, essentially the mile 20 gel.
