    DD –

    They take someone who's plainly being paying and using underage prostitutes in Germany, who then demonstrates only the arrogance a football player demonstrates by telling the coaching staff where and how HE will play.

    Can you expand on this bit please? I must have missed this story.

    Event caterers in my experience are a bunch of muppets. One at a certain event that I did recently refused to cook up some bacon rolls for me as it wasnt breakfast time.

    Perhaps you haven't seen it used in that role, but that might be because you haven't been looking.

    Given the ridiculous mileage that Trail_rat does and some of the results that he gets I'd take it as read that he knows what he is talking about.

    If you are such an expert with lots of international level athlete friends then why the hell are you asking a forum whose core demographic is overweight, middle aged, middle management IT professionals about compression clothing?

    You do realise that Paula Radcliffe using compression kit in competition don't you? Has done for a lot of years.

    Well the triathlon thing is a no brainer.

    As for marathons – perhaps folk just dont know about the cooling effects yet.

    The increased cooling effect is due to an increase in surface area. Think about this before you respond.

    Because when you are actually doing a race you are not thinking about recovery perhaps?

    skins tights are very good at regulating your temperature. better than any other bas layer i have tried.

    fontmoss – let me explain it to you in simple terms. If you use a pair of compression tights during exercise you will massively reduce the damage that you need to recover from.

    fontmoss – it might be an idea to take that advice. It has been given to plenty of others and they have reaped the rewards. You need to think about how they work and what causes you to need more recovery before making any rash decisions.

    I'm guessing that this is Calfornia near Falkirk and Moscow near Kilmarnock.

    Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Maryhill Rd is a bloody long road and passes close to/through some fairly decent parts of Glasgow. Does it actually pass through Maryhill though?

    Obi_Twa

    Yes they are the normal tights. But in my world the best way to ease recovery is to not need that much recovery in the first place.

    You had a slight tear to a ligament. It's probably gone now. Just go ride your bike and dont worry about it.

    Muscles are at their warmest and most stretchable in the bath – hence the reason for stretching them in the bath. My wife tells me that other parts of my anatomy dont need stretched an further.

    Hmmm – that's probably a good reason to not listen to quacks when it comes to this kind of stuff….

    I know it's a novel idea, but how about going on a stretching course run by someone like a physio? I personally wouldnt trust any stretching advice given by personal trainers or suchlike. One of my student colleagues is mortified at some of the stuff that he did as a personal trainer now that he has a more indepth knowledge through his physio studies.

    Expand on your stretch to take care of the medial collateral ligament. I am perfectly chilled – just intrigued as to why someone would want to stretch something that has the job of preventing unwanted movements.

    Obi_Twa

    There is also no set time for stretching a muscle. It takes as long as it takes. You will feel it release a bit when its ready – let it go at that point.

    And why the hell would you want to stretch a ligament?

    How exactly would you go about stretching your knee? 🙄

    Ideally you should stretch your muscles once they are warmed up. There is very little evidence to say that post exercise stretching gives any benefit.

    Personally, I would just stretch them when I am in the bath and forget about the stretching them when out riding bit.

    Grab the bugger by the head, twist anti clockwise, ping it at a mate – job done. Twisting clockwise is a bad idea. Never left anything behind using this method.

    Loving the he left Bale in England line up there. Sums up the whole problem with England fans and the England football team. What most of you dont realise is that the so called golden generation are in fact shite. Scotland had a golden generation once and we all know what happened there….

    Sounds like the bike is way too small to me. I am 6ft1 and have a 58cm frame and it fits me perfectly.

    He stayed on because you can only make three substitutions per game. And if you were to take everyone off the pitch that was worse than being a man down then you would only be left with one player.

    I know a song that seems almost like it was written for this moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG-RmaD2Mic.

    Another Song:

    Mm ba ba de
    Um bum ba de
    Um bu bu bum da de
    Pressure pushing down on me
    Pressing down on you no man ask for
    Under pressure – that burns a building down
    Splits a family in two
    Puts people on streets
    Um ba ba be
    Um ba ba be
    De day da
    Ee day da – that's o.k.
    It's the terror of knowing
    What this world is about
    Watching some good friends
    Screaming 'Let me out'
    Pray tomorrow – gets me higher
    Pressure on people – people on streets
    Day day de mm hm
    Da da da ba ba
    O.k.
    Chippin' around – kick my brains around the floor
    These are the days it never rains but it pours
    Ee do ba be
    Ee da ba ba ba
    Um bo bo
    Be lap
    People on streets – ee da de da de
    People on streets – ee da de da de da de da
    It's the terror of knowing
    What this world is about
    Watching some good friends
    Screaming 'Let me out'
    Pray tomorrow – gets me higher high high
    Pressure on people – people on streets
    Turned away from it all like a blind man
    Sat on a fence but it don't work
    Keep coming up with love
    but it's so slashed and torn
    Why – why – why ?
    Love love love love love
    Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
    Can't we give ourselves one more chance
    Why can't we give love that one more chance
    Why can't we give love give love give love give love
    give love give love give love give love give love
    'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
    And love dares you to care for
    The people on the edge of the night
    And love dares you to change our way of
    Caring about ourselves
    This is our last dance
    This is ourselves
    Under pressure
    Under pressure
    Pressure
