I know what you mean Fifer, Been there done that
But on a lighter note....sod all that running, think I'll stick to riding the trike
Have any of you seen bits of a mates scalp and bits of bone /brain left on the tarmac after they were killed when wearing no helmet .
Something I will remember till I die .
That was in the mid sixties before it became law to wear a helmet .
I have worn a helmet and gloves at ALL times since then .
Just picture yourself in the following scenario .
The fastest human sprinter can run at about 27mph .
The average person , running as fast as they can go , might achieve between 15 and 20 mph .
Picture yourself running as fast as you can with your head down and run straight into a wall with the top of your head .
Now picture yourself running as fast as you can and rubbing your face / hands along the wall .
Finally , picture yourself running as fast as you can and dive face first with your hands spread out onto the road .
