That's what I *call* synchronisation

A pic I just noticed from last week's Guardian Sport, before sticking it in the recycling...

They're going the wrong way...

Not up to North Korean standard though!

Looking at the way the shadow of the runners falls on the track they should be running in the shade. I recon it's a fake.

It's their shoes. All the same brand, got some sort of boomerang pattern on them. Someone will know which make that is, I expect.

The guy in purple's left arm is not bent enough.

Cor, you're a cynical negative lot today... so what? ... it's just a picture.

Mo Farah's daily training regime includes 18 miles of running, starting and ending with a 7-minute mile pace 3-mile warm-up/cool-down. In the middle he does a series of speed intervals, ending with a 1-minute pace 400m. He then does the same series of speed intervals, twice more, speeding up each time.

He lives on a training camp sponsored by Nike (hence the consistent clothes and shoes) with training partners (hence the synchronisation). The Guardian does outstanding photography and doesn't use photoshop in news photography without declaring the fact.

Which one's Mo?

I didn't know Jason from Neighbours could run....
