I want to start running at lunchtime but my office doesn’t have a shower. I am always fresh clean and smelling nice so the thought of not showering after a run and then dressing for work is a bit…nasty to me. This is compounded by the fact that I sweat pretty good. So sticky face neck etc isn’t ideal.
I’m thinking my best bet might be a wipe down with some sort of product. The question is this, does anyone have any advice on some sort of disposable wipe that will do the trick? You know, face, neck, arms, torso, legs, and even give the ole undercarriage a little ‘who’s your father’? So what say oh ST wizards, any one with a good tip?
Conversely, if you have any ‘don’t do that’ advice, that will be welcome as well.
I use store brand unscented baby wipes. Takes quite a few but I clean up in the handicapped stall in the bathroom. Along with some wet and dry paper towels does the trick.
I find it is important to cool down for a bit before you clean up. I continue to sweat for a bit so it is important to stop sweating before you clean up.
Marine shower- wet towel in sink and wipe down entire body.
Then wipe off with a combo of witch hazel and rubbing alcohol.
Add deodorant- then you are ready for the boardroom!
Seriously dude ??? Have you tried getting up a little earlier in the morning and running. Scheduling training isn’t always easy, but then, if it was easy, everyone would do it.

Seriously, dude??? Have you ever consider that he may be doing other training in the AM, or may have other life commitments that prevent early AM training.

Burn like crazy if you have open cuts or sensitive skin.
While the alcohol can dry out already dry skin, both offer good benefits for skin care and are base ingredients of Dragon Wash (showerless wash).
I think it was just a suggestion. Such as, why not run in the AM and swim at lunch. That’s what I ended up doing for the same reason as you, ie no shower at work. Of course in my case the pool is a 7 minute drive from work so I can squeeze in a 45 minute swim on my lunch. I run on my home treadmill in the AM.

this works for me on the days our work showers are out - wet towel wipe down then dry towel, gets surprisingly close to clean…

Funny… The article wasn’t all that interesting to me until I saw what trail he planned to run on. I’ll be doing my mile-repeats on that trail later today (after work though… lol)
I have a deep tub sink at work. Put my head uner the faucet and shampoo my hair, head, arms, chest. Go in the changing room with wet towel and wipe the rest down. I wish I had a shower, but I can clean up in a out 5 minutes.
Ha!
Reality is by time I get home it’s dark and I don’t want to get on treadmill just yet seeing as I feel I need more roadwork.
Cheap headlamps or a small flashlight work for the nightime running. There is usually enough light around that the headlamp/flashlight is only necessary for 25% of the run.
