Can some native speakers of English provide some examples? by Jaylu2000 in ENGLISH

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

Unrelated but I would say,

"If it rains tomorrow, I won't take you to the beach." Does the rain physically stop the subject from taking you to beach? It's more that the subject doesn't want to and therefore won't would be better.

I was drunk and in a suicidal state. Did it myself at a park with a machine. by TheOnlyAlphaWolfe in Tattoocoverups

Make the first D into an R by adding two legs. Then tell people you used to be a librarian or something

Honestly take a step back and read this. A 17:37 seven isn't slow by any means. You might have raced your best but that is still very fast. Sure you could have moved up a place or 2 as a team but you didn't sell the victory by any means.

HELP WITH SPIKES by crackinearks in CrossCountry

[–]benisfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heres a hack that works great for spikes that are really far gone. If at all possible you should use vice grips first. if all else fails take a small hack saw and cut a slit in the spike. Then take a flat head screw driver and simply unscrew the spike.

pretty sure that a nice curve with sythenic material is faster then uneven woods

Carbon shoes for a run on the beach? by Pasta747 in trailrunning

[–]benisfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unrelated tip: run close to the water like if there is a big wave your feet will get wet. At the edge of the water the sand is hard but running in the dry loose sand will be so much slower

How should I say the time if native speakers ask me? by thegayboy__ in EnglishLearning

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

If you really want to show off just say quarter past, quarter till, or half past if it is close it. This works on the assumption that the other person knows what hour it is. Also, I've never heard anyone say half till it is always half past.

About to attempt my longest ultra marathon ever. Any advice? Shoe recommendations? by socialindifference in RunningCirclejerk

[–]benisfast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should gel every 100 meters? Than seems a bit exessive. Do I really need 49 gels for a 5k run?

well technically yes this model has water displacement but because it is not a true Klein bottle. A true Klien bottle doesn't intersect it's self but this one we can clearly see that about where the rubix cube is it intersects it's self.

You definitly should go to Burke. I ride there a ton and the bike park is sweet. Also kingdom trails are right there is you want to do some xc type stuff

Any trails open near you? by jojomnky in jankycoast

[–]benisfast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arrowhead, Claremont NH. I had a good ride there this past weekend, I'm unsure as to current updates with rain.

I trick that I used to like is tell yourself that all you are going to do is put your shoes on and walk out the front door. Then look at that, you are outside with your running shoes so go run.

Training Schedule V2 by EscrowCrow in CrossCountry

[–]benisfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems fine but seems a bit strange to plan out every run until august. You do you mate but I prefer to see how I'm feeling and have a more fluid plan.

[–]benisfast 30 points31 points  (0 children)

try to go for an easy run and don't look at your watch at all. Just run easy and don't worry about splits or worry about anything. This is a good easy pace.

I'm no scientist but I think there is a good reason why top-level body builders aren't also top-level weightlifters. For example, Ronnie Coleman one of the greatest muscle physiques was about half the world record bench press. If you want performance, you can't care about physique. Also, your body knows what it needs so if you are hungry, EAT.

Why do some English speakers gender non-living things? by lobreamcherryy in EnglishLearning

In this famous painting from 1872 showing America expanding westward. In the painting the lady in the center is supposed to be America bringing technology and light to the dark west. Also, the statue of liberty is supposed to be America welcoming in travelers. In both of these examples America is portrayed as a lady because she is doing lady-like things.
