2 hour marathon

[Chris Hobson]

Regarding shoes. I have a book about lots of people having run the London Marathon, usually with either a disability or some kind of tragic back story. One guy was exploring the theory that running shoes are actually really bad for you and, in order to prove this, ran the LM bare footed. Instead of making his case, his account of the event strongly suggested that running shoes are pretty essential.

Being a sixty something year old person, any mention of Dunlop shoes only reminds me that they were used by PE teachers to whack troublesome boys on the bottom.

Thank you. Something else I’ve learnt on the forum.

Hmm, I’m sure you were never on the receiving end of a Dunlop shoe @ChrisHobson.....whatever flash it was Chris ! (I’d put a smiley, but they keep scrambling on me).
