Notes
Thirsty Thursday Solo Workout.
Another struggle finding the RIGHT treadmill;.
There was only one person on Cardio Row, and he was using the the one I liked the other day. The next best choice was the one right NEXT to him, but with all the others free, it would be a totally creepy move [Men, think of Urinal Protocol = a gap of at least one over, am I right?] I knew from a couple days before, which ones i DIDN'T like = every one left, except one un-tested.
It didn't have one of the HD monitors which are always so problematic [because NO ONE leaves the controls nearby], not like I actually watch or listen to the TV, but one LESS annoyance is always good The belt/surface looked fairly new & grippy so THAT was promising. Once I got going, and up to speed, I was glad to hear that it didn't have one of those loose/echo-y/THUMP-RHUMP-THUMP decks I so despise. However, not too much down the "road" I realized this was gonna suck for a while, when my own monitor started rattling in time to my steps
I embraced this, however, as a biofeedback exercise: obviously, my footstrikes were echoing through the machine, so as long as I kept on tempo, the buzz from the loose monitor would be constant
And was how it worked for a couple miles ... then, within a couple of minutes, it went to shit
Three 'Mills down, to my right ear, a petite woman found the ONE treadmill that could make her quick & dainty steps sound like a rhino crossing a drawbridge
A short tie later, a large man fired up the TM to my immediate left; which shall now be named "The Squealer" Don't blame HIM; it was one of the ones I'd left the ofter day
Between the B'Dip!B'Dip!B'Dip! of my rattly TV, and the THUNKTHUNKTHUNK! to my right and the WERGEWERGEWERG!!! on the other side ....
That's the Mental Focus Training that CHAMPIONS speak so much about
