Can you play It’s a Long Way to The Top by AC/DC?
Obvs. Although I prefer Thunderstruck.
However, I suspect that a finely honed athlete such as yourself does stretches anyway, as part of achieving your high level of performance. Especially with a less than optimal leg. (I have two, of those, but that’s another story.)
Er, yeah...? <looks a bit shifty>
Actually, once again, no. No, I don't do anything in the way of stretches at all. Maybe in the morning when I open the curtains and check on the rain/mist/fog/cloud situation, but that's only because I'm short. I am definitely not a "finely honed athlete". And there's no high level of performance. I know how it's done, but these days I reckon I produce what one of my old coaches would call "tidy rubbish"! Apparently it looks like I know what I'm doing and that I'm comfortable doing it, which is great because I am, for the most part, more than a bit terrified.
I really won't go to the gym, though. As my right patella is still slightly out of alignment, running, cycling, rowing, etc are not possible without a massively swollen knee in a matter of minutes. I really can't see the point. I don't go to yoga, pilates or exercise classes either because, well, people...
But for the past two weeks I've skated twice a week, which makes me happy and definitely helps me improve. Today's attempts at the forward inside rockers were much better, as were the double threes (which is good, because I was teaching somebody else how to do them!)
Getting better at spreadeagles, too. Never thought that would happen.
