Now look you lot, there's some really subversive activity going on out there. Anyone who is anyone knows that the only acceptable uniform for a real fellrunner is walshes on yer feet, smelly-helly (blue only) on yer back and some old rag around yer loins. Anything else marks you out as some johnny-come-lately or sad interloper from fashion-addicted road running mentality.
If the walshes hurt at first it's coz you have not bashed them in enough. No pain, no gain.
