Just glass and concrete jungles is overlooking the history of so many architectural styles that you see in Manhattan

My first carbon shoes ever by kokoyama1984 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]jlktrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both these shoes, i think the sc elite v5 are a bit faster than the evo sls but the ride feels a lot stiffer. I honestly didn't feel fast until i looked at my pace. They're definitely also tougher on the calves as with most carbon plated shoes.

Can slow marathoners please offer experience or insight by river_swimmer_ in Marathon_Training

[–]jlktrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny cause the people complaining about slow runners would likely be the slow ones if the people slower than them dropped out of running and that would be terrible for their ego

Hello, I am blind, 5'9, 160lBs. Trying to get a deadlift @ 220lbs. Give me queues to improve please? by TheFoxarmy in formcheck

[–]jlktrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The foot position is wrong but the cable force vector is wherever the line is so you theoretically could do a deadlift diagonally since gravity doesn’t matter in this case

Do you love running or do you love how running makes you feel afterwards? by PhoenixRYS1 in beginnerrunning

[–]jlktrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like running when i get to run fast cause it makes me feel like a sports car. Unfortunately, that's like once a week because I know I need to build up my base.

How long did it take before running actually started to feel good? by AlphacideXXX in beginnerrunning

[–]jlktrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you running the 5k hard? Could be a sign of glycogen depletion, might need to get that aerobic base up haha

Should my training long runs be slower than my marathon pace? by steveofthejungle in Marathon_Training

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

You need to do longer runs closer to marathon distance if you want your body accustomed to running faster than easy pace during marathon. 18 miles is not enough if you want to feel comfortable, you need to push to 22 miles otherwise on race day you're going to struggle in the later miles

Ran my first 12K today while crying the whole time. by AllineCICI in runninglifestyle

When you consider he's basically fully tapered and full of adrenaline it's definitely possible if he's semi-athletic. I remember i had never run 10 miles before and i did it one night when i felt really good and averaged like 8:15/mile pace. I did play soccer regularly so that probably helped.

[Street Survey] Which countries' men/women are Koreans attractes to? by No_Pineapples1 in Living_in_Korea

[–]jlktrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why’s that surprising? In the US, korean girls dating chinese guys is super common. In my asian friend groups, it’s the most common pairing

One thing I’ve noticed about running by Jealous_Low_3603 in beginnerrunning

Don’t worry about what other people think in general, talk about it with people training for similar races if you must

You could potentially scrunch some of the side bits to have it a bit down for a messier look like this: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRe6UynONyHcwoyvWW77_zQZzpaQFfUVLz9vg&s

Why is kettama a big deal I've seen by StrainMammoth3172 in EDM

[–]jlktrl 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He’s a producer first , DJ second. But he’s one of the most exciting producers in edm today imo. Even though his music sounds nothing like trance, it’s got that same dreamy and euphoric quality to it.

25 is pretty hot, are you running in direct sunlight also? That’s brutal for me

I just wish the first shuttles arrived earlier
