MarkC Oct 2008 10:52am, 16 Oct 2008 1,629 posts	MarkC Last run done here too. 4 miles, slap bang on optimum race pace for Sunday (8min milies). Went through 1000 miles for the year too. Big ups to me Next time I run will be the biggie Looking forward to it, with a hint of trepidation. (I take this to be a sign of sanity )

hellen Oct 2008 10:53am, 16 Oct 2008 4,316 posts	hellen Its a very similar technique going behind bushes to going behind parked cars!!!! The thing about going behind parked cars is they are usually on the road/concrete, the wee doenst soak in like behind a bush so you get a bit of spray so best not sqaut too low and try to pee more slowly!!!!!! Maybe a bit of practice is required!!!!
hellen Oct 2008 10:55am, 16 Oct 2008 4,317 posts	hellen the other thing is that if you feel a bit of an urge at say 15 miles then best to go cos if you leave it and then have to go at 22 it might be more difficult to stand up again!!!
