Don't know how you managed with those weights, props to you. Mate, no way!!! As if. Yeah conditions were rough, 40-50mph winds up to reportedly. The others said they were freezing, I've had worst 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I’m interested to know why you wear a hat in there. Is it to stop your head getting cold ?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0W2BctL9aZ/?igshid=MTc4MmM1YmI2Ng== Look..........NO HAT On a serious note, it's unbelievable how the body can cope with the shock of extreme cold. Their breathing or demeanor doesn't change at all going into the ice........and they're KIDS! I honestly think I'd go into shock just standing outside in the snow in swimming trunks . I remember watching a documentary about people drowning in the sea explaining that most die within seconds due to the shock of the cold causing involuntary breathing in and drowning. You lot seam to have that control boxed off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 That's unreal ay. The body's ability to maintain a steady core temperature during extreme cold is quite a thing. Cold water blackout is a real however. I definitely couldn't take ice baths without training for it ie breath work and cold showers. To panic would be the worst thing to do, so to create neurology for a high stresser situation aids the brain in tackling stress going forward.

New ones arrived the day before he Stratford-upon-Avon 10k, so just in time. Completed the he course in 54:32, chuffed with that - 27th October Ran my first 5k with our eldest at a park here in Birmingham that I practically grew up in, that was a special moment - 2nd November First day of snow here in the Midlands for thought why not. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
