I just watched the news and saw Jo Lawn wearing some hideous pants with claims that these will disperse lactate..and then she said that they are similar to compression pants. How gullible are we these days??

These companies pay high profile athletes to wear certain garments..and then the flock of sheep follow....and because some says it will do this or that...and the pacebo effect takes effect..and voila...we have super human athletes!! what a load of fuckin toss!!

If you want to monitor your residual lactate levels..get a portable lactate tester. Today I caught up with Gina Ferguson out riding..and we talked about tapering..and she told me about her intervals.. suffice to say..at that intensity you would produce shit all lactate....

I have heard it all.. compression pants...intermittent hypoxication... supplents....special diets and recovery drinks...for christs sake wake up and smell the roses...read some studies...and see how much of this bollocks is true...and how much is just marketing...

If you wanna pay a fistful of $$ on crap..go for it..otherwise train better....

hahahaha

We saw one of the ‘gullible’ tonight – an overweight person (hard to decide if man or woman) wearing full Skins (long legs/long sleeves) riding a Speccy Tri bike through town. This in about 27 degree temp. :crazy:

Damn them for being overweight, doing exercise in apparel they like to ride in and on a bike they like riding on.

They did make her bum look small though.

I would go to the movies in pants like those if I could do IM in twice the time Jo lawn takes.

I figured the thread was a trick around why 'Gullible' is spelled incorrectly in the title. Silly old me

Isn't lactate what happens to women's boobies when they have a baby? :huh:

I am sure a baby drinks lactate. :paranoid:

You are thinking of lactose a component of milk human or otherwise

Lactic acid is what ends up in your muscles and makes them sore when they burn glycogen (I think that's what its called anyway)
