Win.
That’s cool / best get to work making that mesh covering for your upcoming World Record
At Dorney Lake in December he’ll be glad of the mask covering his face when he’s running into the wind
It’s more the foot wear.
If they give him the record, citing that Vibrams are split toed, I’m getting a pair of Nike Rifts
Are you feeling any better? Given your comment on Strava yesterday? Still suffering from the marathon?
Achilles is not happy at the minute, which given what I’ve gotta do is not ideal
Gonna rest/rehab/strengthen for a week.
Still gives me 5 weeks and it’s not as if I need a big taper for this one
Ahh, hadn’t seen you running that much. Hope it gets sorted soon, you’ve got loads in the bank which can be maintained.
Had a week off, then was doing a bunch of press ups/sit ups etc to get ready for Rocky Horror, then it was MCM last weekend, so was getting ready for that.
Hopefully back to some sort of normality soon
Cheating bastard
He’s wearing running shoes - N/a
Just out of interest - has anyone ever ran in a suit of armour?
I saw this at the bupa London 10k in what must have been about 2012/13. Literally all the waves had gone past a good 5mins earlier and we were making our way to the mall for the finish. A guy in a full suit of armour was still trudging his way down. Must have taken him 10+ minutes to walk 400m. You could already tell he was regretting his decision! No idea how long it took him in total
What’s the record for a fire-fighter or full soldier’s kit though, 'cos it’s not much different supposedly
Can you move in armour? An Experiment in Mythbusting - Medievalists.net cites https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2011.0816 which says 1.9 times the cost in energy, so you’ve got to think sub 5 is possible for sure? Especially as you can probably get away with one of the light-weight suits of armour at around 30kg which I’m sure is way less than Jorgan and friends carried when working.
Didn’t even wear all black trainers
The one finger salute is a nice tough though
