solid stuff so good yeah so so the question with the shoe is if you are and and what you would have realized is weight training has become a major part of endurance sport because most people don't get injured because they are too stiff or inflexible it's because they cannot weather the load and load management comes from strength so strength has suddenly become a big part of endurance which is which is a bedrock of your performance so are you strong enough

and biomechanically able to withstand the returning force of these new shoes, the only way to find out is to find out.

But you don't want to find out on race day.

That's the plan.

Morally, if you cross in 259, that is a valid sub three.

Interestingly, they might make that decision.

Do you remember the swimsuits?

In the Sydney Olympics, and then they got banned.

The speed suits.

So that, again, was an example.

Has everyone got fair advantage?
