CARDIOVASCULAR
RUNNING: (Tue, Thur & Sat) Running a circuit and setting time goals. Once I have reached the time goal then the circuit gets tougher.
CYCLING: If I feel that I am going to dip into a plateau I will plan a long and hard cycle (normally on Saturdays).
I thought that I’d try out a pair compression shorts and see if they live up to the hype. So I got myself a great deal for some white Under Armour at £7.99.
After deciding that they were too kinky to be running around in under 4 inch shorts I opted to wear them under my tracksuit bottoms.
After a warm up power walk I had arrived at my start point, revved and ready to tear up the path to a new PB, I took off running.
Around a sharp corner, through a little alleyway, a little straight, cross the road at the lights… a big decline is coming up so I have a oportunity to use it to my advantage and up my pace.
I tear down the hill, but somethings not right….
What’s that draft at my butt AAAARRRRRRHHHH!!! I scream to a halt just to catch my tracksuit bottoms sliding off my shiny hips on their way down to my knees!
I caught them just in time, gosh I hope no one seen that! I thought to my self.
After fixing myself and tying my tracksuit bottoms a little tighter I set off again. The thoughts of exposing my rear in public was enough to slow me down and quash any expectations of setting a new PB.
Lesson learned, compression shorts are good, i.e. they hold all your bits in place, but don’t ware them with tracksuit bottoms that are too big for you!
