@Cathal_Dennehy @havardandre These are interesting. The soles aren’t dissimilar to the Ripples used by New Balance, Reebok etc. @NormanWalshUK use them today. And after the Brush Spike was banned, Puma launched the innovative “Kralle” aka Claw spikes that were around for some time. https://t.co/71HWaFFsbF
1955 world leader Ernie Shelton USA even came up with “bear trap” shoes in Paris 1957 meet against Stepanov but finally didn’t used them for fear of injury with unstable sole. He was 1 of many to compete with no shoe on his non take-off foot

@johnvowens Great to see Brynn on track! Rollers wise a few options. For lightweight rollers (great for comp warmup) check out Dynolite Racing & Invictus Rollers are popular (may need flywheel). Otherwise heavier drum roller options similar to Revolution Sports (some athletes have made own)
@noelthatcher@BritAthletics That’s an impressive collection! Pretty sure the White City finish line is still there if you need to tick off another (unless you made it to the old greyhound track before it was demolished?!)
Mustapha 'Musty' Mohammed. We are saddened to learn the sudden passing of a wonderful athlete and personality aged just 32 who was inspired by London 2012 to take up racing on track and road. Much loved, RIP 10.02.89 - 12.12.21. For more about Musty: https://t.co/GbSzUF1Rzd
How to win the @LondonMarathon in 1h26.27 - Course Record Time - with the legend @MarcelEricHug aka The Silver Bullet!! (Also a master of secret codes and shorthand) @spv_nottwil @MichelleWeltman@ParaAthletics
@ieatkins Rather than 100 smackers. How-about recycling? @milkvintagecov are in Cov and had some cool vtg dungarees last time I went in. Shop is old, so not accessible, but staff are helpful. Nearest changing place is at Central Library. Warwick Uni used to have Vtg Kilo sales.
@ieatkins Was only the day I was telling my daughter (5) about the dungarees I wore as a child playing in the street. They were hand-me-downs from my brother who is quite a bit older (in fashion terms!).
In 2012 young @BenRowlings supported @CoventryGodiva team mate @Dolly2racer on Paralympic debut (can you spot him?). At home @AdeneganK watched the same race that inspired her to try the sport. Mel, Ben & Kare are now all Paralympic finalists and broke T34 World Records @CovSport
