The 27th Mile
"..Silvio Berlusconi says he will not have sex until the election... on April 9th." (The date of the Paris Marathon)"...though he is a multibillionaire, and therefore not unattractive to certain avaricious tastes, Berlusconi is also a bald 69-year-old married man. For most men of his age, 10 weeks without sex qualifies as a typical interlude rather than heroic denial."The BBC looks at the training implications. "Use it or loose it", says Dr Roy Levin (a former employer of mine in Sheffield, who used to warn that chart-recorder ink is really hard to get out of bedroom carpet, "it goes everywhere", he said, during departmental coffee.) :
"It's not a fantastic exercise, but for people who don't have any, it will help to maintain their cardio and respiratory functionality."Does anyone want to make a declaration of "heroic denial"? Has it begun? Is this the loneliness of the long distance hasher?
Jim's FIRST marathon programme is silent on the issue, but the treadmill has been whirring, lots. A Big Hand to Rachel for pioneering the Drink/Flirt/Swoon/Metabolise technique. Ed, Hermione? Sleeping with the enemy may raise issues for our competitive couple. Marathons two weeks apart (Paris & London) means never being on the same page of the training schedule.
But I'm still perplexed.
Steve, we remember from last year, used the pull of "the 27th Mile" to help him steam toenail-less through the finishing line, but what was the training regimen, Berlusconi or bonking? Does it only work for Yorkshiremen?
