How common is the idiom "run circles around"? Is it used in everyday English?
Are these correct and natural?
1. I love playing tennis with my cousins. I'm a competitive person and I can run circles around my cousins in tennis. They can get the better of me in every other competition but not tennis.
2. She run circles around her classmates in math and biology. Her grades are always better by a mile.
3. Laura can run circles around her sister when it comes to communicating with people and making new friends.
4. Jim can run circles around his colleagues in programming.
5. He runs circles around me in cooking and baking cakes.
