The wording is “Traditional Japanese split toed footwear, such as tabi…”

If it’s split toed, then I’ll do it in Nike Rifts

The guy from the St. Albans Striders looks like he’s really pleased with his result! Good on him.

Is the ‘ninja’ chap flipping the bird at those behind him?

The guy on the left looks like he’s saying, is this supposed to be a ninja?

No, you’ve got it right. Literally nothing from Nike/Vibram/Asics can be called Traditional Japanese. If there is something else ninja wore back in the day, we’ll that could be worth researching. Ninja were, after all, not a regiment with uniform, they were spies and sometime assassins, right?

To be fair, there’s a bunch of evidence they didn’t wear anything like we think they did.

To be an assassin they dressed in normal clothes

Mizuno’s been around forever, surely they’re traditional!

Yeah fuck it. Call him on it

I think @funkster was in the crowd heckling him/calling him out on the outfit.

The rifts were my immediate thought. You could ‘dress’ them up with black bandages or fabric tape.

No, the bloke on the left is his ‘camerafag’. He’s on that YT vid that Funkster shared.

yep, something fishy about that ‘record’…

Owner of 8 businesses and multiple GWR holder. Catchy.

He’s ‘winning at life’ are you? :wink:

Well we’re a week away from HM attempt number 2 and I couldn’t be less confident.

All running form seems to have disappeared from my body.

Thought I’d do a two week block but still struggling with anything in double digits.

56 miles last week
61 this week

Feeling like utter crap, so will be taking it very easy this week in hopes of some compensation.

Long range looks reasonable.
Guinness still have the old record of 1:54 listed
