I Miss my New Seat...

Unfortunately, like I have mentioned in previous posts, I am trying to train whilst doing a fly in/out roster. This isnt so hard except for the change in setup for equipment. Instead of my professional bikefit I have a spin bike which is ok except for the lack of clip in pedals and an anatomical seat... this week as programmed I've done two rides (30 & 40mins) each. I now know what people mean when they talk about how bad seats can place pressure on the blood flow and nerves to the penis.... I mean... after about 25mins I'd begun to lose sensation.. def not a pleasant sensation.... Not sure how i'm going to fix this... I guess the only way will be to get up out of the seat and crank a few minutes regularly to maintain adequate blood flow... hmmm

I came across another good quote today from a running blog as I was searching for reviews on Fitdeck

"EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA, A GAZELLE WAKES UP. IT KNOWS IT MUST OUTRUN THE FASTEST LION OR IT WILL BE KILLED. EVERY MORNING IN AFRICA, A LION WAKES UP. IT KNOWS IT MUST RUN FASTER THAN THE SLOWEST GAZELLE, OR IT WILL STARVE. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER YOU'RE A LION OR GAZELLE - WHEN THE SUN COMES UP, YOU'D BETTER BE RUNNING." - ANONYMOUS

So Fitdeck looks interesting. Basically a set of cards with one exercise on each that you shuffle to derive a different workout each time... There are a number of different sets aimed at different sports/jobs... The ranges are Bodyweight, Yoga, Pilates, Combat Sports, Firefighting, Speed and Agility, Stretching, Pullups, Kettlebells, Travel, Office... plus more... i guess they explain it better here...

I looked through the three sections Starter, Booster and Performance... and wanted to order about $150 worth of decks... bring on pay day!

Other than that training has been going as planned other than deciding not to run in 40-45 deg heat on Sat afternoon... I got up early on Sun morning (0420hrs) and shuffled everything back... so Tuesday (today) isn't going to be my day off... dammit!
