A Jonny says, it's the same in all past times. I live a stone's throw from a very popular park and I see many summer wannabe runners.
They drive to the park in their £100 trainers and expensive running clothes & fancy water bottle. They run about 50 metres and then run out of breath and walk the rest leisurely. It's like they've come to pose.
I have to make do with a pair of £20 Sport Direct jobbies and an old T Shirt. Just aint fair.
That's all the gear you need if it's nice and warm! Plus shorts obviously. Many African athletes run in bare feet - the Ethiopians and Kenyans. Zola Budd did when she beat Mary Decker IIRC. Bare footed it was felt ZB had an unfair advantage FFS!
