A minute of English. Today I learned what a Suicide Run is.
Nadya was talking about her coaching routine, and I discovered for myself that it’s an interval exercise where you have to run to a certain point, then return, then run to the next, farther point, and return again. And it turns out there is also a Russian Twist. This is an exercise for the oblique abdominal muscles, performed by sitting on the floor, leaning back and rotating the torso from side to side.
Recently, I came across an interesting expression in a book: “to face plant.” It means to smash your face into something.
There’s also an interesting phrase “throw someone under the bus.” This expression is often used in situations where one person puts another in a disadvantageous position or blames them for something, to improve their own situation or reputation.
