Tips for lunchtime running with no office showers!?

slowmoe

Anyone got any good ideas - want to run at lunchtime, esp while its still dark in the evening (and i'm not a morning person). BUT i live miles from the office and there are no showers at work (and no leisure centre etc nearby). Does anyone have and good ideas for a sweat free afternoon back at work?

Does your office have a good supply of anti-static wet-wipe cleaners for your PC's?

I reckon about 20 should do the trick. Bump up the supply on the next stationery order when no-ones's looking.;-)

Good thinking team!
Someone needs to invent (I am uncreative...) some sort of folding out shower tray so you can put in on the floor and fix a shower attachment to the sink then clean up around it with towels... not sure how deep it would have to be though!

Portable shower, now that sounds good!

I too make do with a tramps shower, baby wipes or a flannel in your bag,finish off with an Impulse wipe as they kill off any scent apart from their own, and then I apologise profusely to the students.

tried it once and had to splash was in a sink the size of a tea-cup. vowed never to do it again - it was not a pleasant afternoon for those around me!

splash was = splash wash!

Monique-the smell from some of our students is sure to drown out any other odour!

Am getting quite practiced in changing in the car, running, getting suit back on and visiting another customer. Key is finding a good run with a secluded parking spot.

Those deodorant wipes are good and frankly fresh sweat ain't that bad. Best if you can cool down though, in the summer it takes a while.

If I run at lunchtime I always do my cooldown stretching outside to help cool down. Then a quick splash down and plenty of Lynx and Right Guard to mask any unpleasant smells! (Other anti-perspirant / deodrant products are available...)
Then I wait for the inevitable 'heat soak' as I sit back at my desk.....

The building I work in gets so hot that we all sweat anyway, if you are fit you're sweat contains more water and is less smelly and fresh sweat doesn't smell too bad.

I run to and from work and noone has complained yet despite the lack of showers
