The key on the "laces" (what do you actually call those things that I never ever untied in my whole life) of the trousers is the most genius thing I've ever seen.

Try using the compeed blister plasters on your heel when wearing your spikes if you dont want to run in socks, will prevent you getting blisters

Yes! These are going to be a must from now on 😅

[@Simm0700]

Was shouting you on from the Sofa, class running Philly. But I did have a question, is it athletes own preference whether they run in a GB or England vest etc or their club vest, as I noticed some athletes did and some didn't. Would you have been able to run in your GB vest from the European 10k if you wanted to for example?

[@PhilyBowden]

Thank you!! Yes you’re bang on, for the British Champs you have to wear your club vest, or can wear a National vest if you have one - so I could’ve chosen to wear England or GB kit over my Aldershot vest. Most of the time the people that opt to wear their National kit will do so because it matches the bran they’re sponsored by (e.g Nike for the GB kit) but not always! I quite like repping my club at the National meets ☺️

[@Simm0700]

@@PhilyBowden thanks for taking the time to answer. I think I'd prefer to rep my club vest as well, do so on Park Run if I'm doing some vacationing etc.

do people say "whatcha reckon" only in north of England or south as well?
