Each Saturday I do my long run, and each Saturday, often wearing athletic kit, I go into my local Tesco Express and buy 2 or 3 bags of ice. The staff have cottoned on to my routine. Today the young guy behind the checkout said "Are you some kind of Universal Soldier?". I explained that yes, I suppose I was, and explained about my ice baths. Very funny.
Of course, for those of you who have never seen the film Universal Soldier, that anecdote will mean absolutely nothing. Fortunately, I am a fan of the man Barry Norman once called J-C V-D, Belgium's finest actor, the man with the most talented muscles in Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme. If you've never seen the film, it's your loss. Do you really need me to explain?
Well OK, he has a hyped up metabolism (re-animated tissue and all that) and has to be kept chilled when not in action. Go on treat yourself. It has Dolph Lundgren too. What more could you want?

I've always wondered where people got the ice from - no excuses now for just a cold water bath!
