Tyre Hauling Begins
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008If you’re in the UK, you’ll have probably noticed it has been a little windy this week. Down here in London we missed the
best/worst of it - in fact, we were pretty disappointed not to get some really big weather. But we figured that this was a great time to start our tyre hauling training. This is exactly what it sounds like - rope up to a heavy tyre and drag it round. We’re walking round the horse track in Hyde Park just for added fun. Just the one huge tyre was enough for us on the first session but we’re aiming for a convoy of tyres when we’re super fit.
So Charlie and Cynan headed out of the RGS, who are kindly storing our tyres for us and skipped into Hyde Park, much to the amusement of those stuck in traffic. David is becoming good friends with his physio so passed on this session.
We did two laps of the horse track - 56 mins for the first and 54 mins for the second. The hamstrings certainly knew about it and we slept sooo well. It seems to use a few muscles we don’t normally use!
