@SEAACompetition This is misleading and you should delete the tweet. ERRA confirmed that Senior Men's teams can qualify from both the Aldershot Relays and the SEAA event.
@GlenCottingley@runwithcuan@seaningle Sorry but the argument doesn't work. The 'tech' doesn't appear to be any different to existing spikes. Very different than the issue with high stack carbon plate road shoes. Wavelight far more of an advantage here
@seaningle What exactly is controversial about the spikes? There is no carbon plate (and, in any event, nearly all spikes have a plastic plate) and the foam is made from pebax which is now widely used.
Ladywell Arena is still closed. Read and support our open letter to @damienegan of @LewishamCouncil to #OpenTheTrack in Lewisham. Let's make the most of this invaluable local asset.

@russell_runner Yes, I think @tonyclarkeuk has it. I get you - but still don't think it's comparable to going on holiday or a 2nd home for a bit. Then again, I'm sure there are some who'll use this as an excuse.
@russell_runner Sorry, I was a bit unclear. It's not his home at all. Nor is No.10. PM when in office doesn't live in his or her personal home. It's No.10 when working, Chequers otherwise. What is he supposed to do? Return to No.10? I see your point but wouldn't have drawn the same comparison.
@russell_runner Not sure the analogy works. PM effectively lives at work. No.10 clearly not best place for PM to recover. It's not his 2nd home, it's the residence available to all PMs. He hasn't gone to his private residence. Not the same as a going to a 2nd home or on holiday.
@russell_runner @brooksrunning@CleanSportCO@SportCampaign@GlenCottingley Putting aside the ethics, a bizarre decision to give kit to someone who's banned from racing in it for the next 4 years. @brooksrunning, I'm faster, not a drug cheat and plan on racing before 2024. Can I have some free kit?
When you give engineers 40mm of space to work in, and say that itβs okay (& now necessary) to change the physiological input-output relationship, you make controversy and uncertainty (who knows what % improvement this gives, and is it the same for all? No) part of the sport.
@russell_runner @benbloomsport@sweatscience@WorldAthletics Point is that IAAF probably wouldn't have done anything anyway. Doesn't excuse Nike not approaching IAAF in first place of course but likely that it wouldn't have made any different
