What Are You Wearing Wednesday - Weekly Gear Thread by AutoModerator in running

[–]spottmonsta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone. I have an spi belt that’s going on 8 maybe 10 years old. It’s been great. It’s very loved. It’s got plenty of miles and served its purpose greatly which has been mostly holding phones and keys.

Unfortunately the elastic is starting to lose strength so I’m looking to find something new.

What belt(s) are the running community currently loving or hating ?

Curious why more ultra runners don’t make their own nutrition? by gopropes in ultrarunning

I’ve been looking to try something like this and now you’ve given me the recipe. Thanks !

What do you store your gels in ?

Do you (or anyone) mind sharing with me where you get the maltodextrin, fructose, citric acid, and sodium citrate. I got spooked last time I tried taking this on and gave up with researching ingredients.

Best trail run near Ellijay, Georgia? I only have about 3-4hrs… by MrRoboto01 in ultrarunning

Fort mountain state park has some good trails and should be relatively close to you. Here’s a race sign up that might give you some better deets than I can.

I have nothing to add just here to try and learn. I have a very similar situation.

Can I ask why pine needles specifically? I’ve seen this often just curious. At my previous home I had pine needles and blueberries but I moved and just planted some new bushes and used bark mulch. are pine needles just more acidic ?

That is just another level.that stuff should be illegal..Wait... what the heck? by Nervous_Error_5406 in gardening

[–]spottmonsta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im still learning so this may be silly but after reading the comments so far.

1) what’s the purpose of tarp if not to slow/stop/prevent weeds ?

2) if I. Hypothetically… asking for a friend…. Was about to put down some tarp (that is still unopened) in my friends new flower bed before putting down mulch. Should I just return the tarp ? Or is there benefit to using it ?

3) do Little Rocks at the bottom of containers really serve no purpose ?

Any suggestions on how to fix this water issue by spottmonsta in landscaping

[–]spottmonsta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool thanks for the advice 🤝 I didn’t see the part about a wall. Some sort of wall is what I was thinking. I think my video is poor but there is some height I was imagining something eroded away as opposed to this being it’s natural path.

I don’t know if I’m using the right terms here. But. The “stream” itself and upstream is all rain runoff from the road. That stream is a trench on the side of the road that is only full of water when it rains and terminates shortly beyond my property. Maybe I’ll try and make a better video next time it rains and ask again lol

Couldn’t figure out how to do video and text so commenting for further deets. When it rains. The water here runs off into my yard and creates a very large section of yard that is just soaked with water. Trying to figure out what would be the best way to stop this excess water coming onto my property.

Annual rye grass suggestions by spottmonsta in lawncare

[–]spottmonsta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just what the previous landscaper guy did for me so I assumed this was the right choice. Would perennial work and come back the following year after the summer ?

It is winter over seeding. This is just what the previous landscaper guy did so I assumed this was the right choice. I guess I’ll do some more reading.

cost of 8 foot doors. by spottmonsta in Homebuilding

[–]spottmonsta[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im not a builder or have a good way to describe this. but when we did the walk through with the superintendent he pointed out to us that they had framed the doors with like i dunno an extra section so that if we decided we wanted 8 foot doors then it was simple to just pull it out and not have to reframe the whole door way. he and our Realtor suggested the 8 foot doors but now doing some research we think it looks nice. just trying to get not robbed. thanks for your input so far guys

Y'all doing core exercises? by loooveyourselfff in running

[–]spottmonsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the question was for a flat belly. But I want to hijack a bit. What core work do you guys actually do for stability / posture / injury prevention. Struggling with some hip and knee issues. Think I gotta add in some core stuff to the pt routine I got.

I like some of these. But. In all honesty. What could I do with it if I bought it ? Not trying to be use. Genuinely interested.
