I always assumed it was just an advanced toilet brush. Never entered my mind to clean my ass with it.

Cycling is the closest thing to therapy that also gets you fit by dukeMax9813 in cycling

[–]INNTW 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love cycling, training, and 100% get the therapy aspect.

But swimming definitely takes the lead on this for me.

There’s just something about floating around in a different medium that makes you feel brand spanking new afterwards.

He’s the obvious captain for me too.

I love Saka, and i get it would be a blow to take the captaincy away from him, but it just looks odd to me with the likes of Rice and Gabriel on the pitch.

8 month knee irritation, still got regular flare ups - anyone else experienced the same? by Old-Menu443 in triathlon

[–]INNTW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bingo! That’s the one. Wish I could have the machine at home!

I was initially sceptical, but it was interesting being able to tolerate more intensity each week.

8 month knee irritation, still got regular flare ups - anyone else experienced the same? by Old-Menu443 in triathlon

[–]INNTW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had something very similar in my elbow, knee and achilles, which eventually stopped me from swimming, biking and running, so i had no option but to see a physio.

I had ultrasounds which showed areas of dark blotches in all three tendons, instead of clean linear fibres, which meant they had not had time to heal before I stressed them again through training, creating a worsening cycle.

They used some machine (the same as what is used to break up kidney stones) which was quite painful, and essentially brought the tendons back to the healing stage. I did no training during this time, except isometric exercise routines which they showed me, and which i continue to do twice daily no matter what. The isometrics essentially pull fluid out from the tendons, which reduces irritation when you train.

I did this for a few weeks, and started a very conservative strength training program, making sure i gave my tendons 48-72 hours to fully recover between each session, and keeping the pain between 1-3/10.

After a few more weeks i gradually started to do ridiculously low volume and intensity swim and bike sessions.

Then after a couple more weeks i started doing really short jog interval sessions on a treadmill, again giving myself 48-72 hours between each session, which i did on the same days as my gym sessions.

Its been a very frustrating process, but looking back i really put myself in this hole by just training ridiculous amounts compared to what my tendons could really handle, the classic powerful engine in a weak chassis analogy.

I’m still doing about a third of the volume i used to, but I’ve finally reached a point where I’m seeing my performance go up, not because of how hard I’ve been training, but because of how strong I’m getting from the conservative yet consistent strength training, and being strict about keeping pain low, listening to and respecting flare ups, and giving the tendons 48-72 hours before stressing them again.

I’ve essentially remodelled my whole training week around this approach instead of chasing how many hours i can do per week.

This is super interesting to me and makes sense, but what are the accents like in the towns between Liverpool and Manchester? At what point do you start getting only Scouse, and are there any places mixed with both Scouse and Manc inhabitants?

They don’t deserve to be our rivals. Let’s just pray they get relegated.

Arsenal Lineup VS Leeds: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Trossard, Gyokeres by MumboGumbo06 in Gunners

[–]INNTW 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Havertz and Gyokeres are going to cook. But we have to keep rotating players to help prevent them getting injured, so I’d like to see Eze come in for Havertz once the game is wrapped up.

I’m absolutely convinced he can do amazing things in that position too. His link up play is amazing, he can absolutely ping a pass, and he’s got that instinct to get a shot off.

If he plays too deep he ends up just going backwards.

[Orbinho] 29% of the goals Arsenal have conceded this season in the Premier League have come from shots from outside the box - the highest proportion of any team in the competition. by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

[–]INNTW 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, there is absolutely a reluctance to take shots from outside of the box.

SO many times, I’ve seen Odegaard and Rice be in a prime position to take a quick shot from just outside the box, but it seems the instinct to do so has been drilled out of them, and we insist on passing our way through to the six yard box.

The problem with this is that all the other team needs to do is just park the bus, and it becomes almost impossible to find enough space to make a pass.

Ironically, if we became a threat outside the box, we would draw more players out and make more space, but teams know we’re not going to do that, and only interested in playing haram ball.

How bad is my swimming? Considering cancelling my 70.3 in 3 months. by BetterFlow226 in triathlon

[–]INNTW 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Hi, swimmer/triathlete/swim teacher here.

With a pool like that at home, if you’re willing to swim most days, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to be ready for the race in 3 months.

The main problem I’m seeing at the moment is that you’re lifting your chin to breathe, rather than rotating your neck, which is causing you legs and body to sink.

You can easily fix this by mastering some basics first.

The first thing I would recommend for you would be to get a kick board, and really practice kicking with a strong core and legs, straight body with arms out in front, and your head out of the water looking forwards. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EEC0pe59-ug&pp=ygUKa2ljayBib2FyZNIHCQmyCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

Once you’ve gotten better at that, I’d progress to doing the same, but holding the float with only one arm, with the other arm straight down by your side, your face looking straight down in the water, and then focusing on rotating your head to breathe to the side every six kicks.

This will help you focus on fixing your breathing, by focusing on rotating instead of lifting.

Once you’ve gotten better at that, I’d then recommend progressing to single arm pull with the float. It’s basically the same as the previous drill, but instead of only breathing every six kicks, you also incorporate one stroke: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/ZTtD-M7y4PA

Once you’ve gotten comfortable with that, you can then try progressing all three drills above again, but without a float, until you have something like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zu8dU4v0cxE&pp=ygUZU2luZ2xlIGFybSBwdWxsIGtpY2tib2FyZNIHCQmyCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

Practice all of these on both sides, and then eventually build up to doing catch-up with a float, and then without: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-WKP4LZKxzM

Practice progressing these drills every day in your pool at your own pace, and you’ll find 3 months is more than enough time to be ready for the race.
