Well it's that time of year..local farmer is spreading the muck and I don't mean gossip(although I am sure he has some😊).So for my first venture from the IC I realise as I speed off (sorry that was a dream I had...back to reality) as I did my warm up for wk 4R1 I realise that I am missing an important piece of kit... A peg! Now fellow forumites I am sure many of you can tell me where this essential addition to my spring running( ok joggetting...not quite a walk but not quite a jog) kit can be obtained.Now. I don't want any old peg...it must be pink, with a logo such as Nike, saucony( just like the sound of that) or Brooks( slightly wide nose when gasping for air). I am happy to have my nose measured as to date this has not happened. I think it slightly over pronates but possibly could get by with neutral. The peg will need plenty of cushioning as I don't want any marks and should be water(or other substance) resistant.So I await your posts. Oh the inaugural return went well😊😊
Whifferoooo!: Well it's that time of year..local... - Couch to 5K
Whifferoooo!
Glad to hear you are back pot58. Not sure about pegs but you could try vaseline in your nostrils
You need one that electronically sniffs the air, measures the pollutant level and automatically closes your nostrils, until the air is pure and clean again. If fitted with the optional self adhesive nostril pads, it can actually pull your nostrils further open as your pace increases, facilitating an increased volume of air to be inhaled with each breath. When you track one down, even if it is logoless, please tell me, cos I have the same problem.
Opinion is very much divided as to the effectiveness of nasal twitch analysis (NTA).
I have one - called anosmia. Not all it's hyped up to be.
Granted you can't smell agricultural smells, but you also can't smell roses or chanel #5. You don't know when YOU smell, and most dangerously you can't smell gas (yep I did once relight a gas boiler and nearly blow up the whole house)
So before you start wishing the smell would go away remember the old saying - "be careful what you wish for"
I'm intrigued. As an Aussie, I have no idea what this 'muck' smells like. I do have to contend with fruit bat poo on my running track which is not only smelly (think really bad body odour on a hot day) it makes the ground slippery. I'm moving to the UK later this year and am now going to be sniffing about trying to work out what smell is 'muck'.
...think horse manure with a bit of sewer.....😀
Yep - same problem here. I think it must be National Muck Spreading week!
Was really relieved to see they had resurfaced the farm road near me and the smell (and manure) has gone temporarily. Mrs OG even let me off washing the running shoes when I got home!
Eeew. To be fair though, I prefer the smell of manure more than running past people smoking or people with overpowering cheap perfume (yuk).
I grew up near a large fishing harbour. On a hot summer day, when the wind was in the "right" direction... oh boy, oh boy, talk about stink!
