As shown in today’s online Windsor Star:
The team at Loaring Physiotherapy celebrates Hat Day for WHR and wears Canada gear in a send-off for our local Olympic athletes. Shown are, front row (John Loaring, Charlotte Loaring, Erin MacNeil, Erin Seguin, Ms Bones, Steven Georges); Back row (Kathleen White, Alexandra Bou-Mansour, Fran Saby, Mary Brannagan, Laura Lanoue)
I was busy having a ball while these pics were taken. I ran on the tready in a tiny room for 70 minutes as part of an experiment (run by Keiran Ruck at the University of Guelph) that will aim to draw implications concerning: exercising with compression socks, cardiac drift, hydration strategy, and pacing strategy in hot conditions. Part 1 of the experiment took place last Friday--a tready V02max ramp test to help provide data on what speed to set the tready for parts 2 to 4. Today was part 2, which called for a 1h tready run at 65% of VO2max, followed immediately by a 3k tready time trial. What made it tough was it took place in this tiny room with no fan or air circulation, with a thermostat set at 30 degrees Celcius. After running outside all winter, that felt Damn Hot…notice the capital D, capital H. Part 2 was just the practice trial, and parts 3 and 4 are the real deal for data collection. 4 of us from Allied Force (Mike Hay, Ryan Smith, and Mark Linseman being the other 3) are taking part, so it will be fun to see how everyone does. Our incentive to perform well in the 3k TT (in parts 3 and 4) is massive—the participant with the fastest 3k TT will win a pair of compression socks haha. The things we do for science…
