So now we know ...

Not sure if you saw the story in the newspapers today about trainers.

Apparently experts have now confirmed that there's no difference between the shoes that cost £40-£45 and those that cost £75-£80. The inference is that the higher priced shoes are over=priced and that you pay for the brand rather than anything practical.

Blimee - the next thing we know, scientists will tell us how they believe that bears poo in the woods.

Green Flash anybody?

Don't forget the Beckley 10K this Sunday - free beer, fruit and cakes for all finishers. And you're OK to run it in pumps.
