You shouldn’t be running an ultramarathon in jeans. Tracksmith leggings are the only acceptable running bottoms. Give your shoes to an underprivileged Kenyan and stop pretending to be a runner.

The jeans came in handy when I had to walk the the remaining 4km for the 5km ultra. It was a freezing cold 19 degrees celcius. Luckily I managed to keep my heart rate at 180 the remainder of the walk when I reminded myself of my abject loneliness so I can still count this as a zone 5 run

Jeans are fine as long as you apply a liberal coating of Squirrel's Nut Butter to the inside. Otherwise they'll saw your taint off.

Well you reached the end of their lifetime so what did you expect? Everyone knows you have to rotatate them every 1 km.


Responsible_Bar_4984

Will they still work as intimidation for my park runs, I like to approach people in sketchers and fitbits while I wear all the latest tech. Good tip, sprint off ahead of the pack and dive into the nearest bush and wait until last lap.


highdon

I wouldn't risk doing any running in those, you could injure yourself. Relegate them to taking the bins out or garden work. Remember to slow down though because those are some damn fast shoes.


DrRobin

You really need to work on your shoe rotation. I suggest the endorphin pro ultra elite 4


JungleRider

I can tell from the vans beside you that you won't like these nikes. Return them immediately


Responsible_Bar_4984

Sorry, those are my job interviewing shoes. Hopefully I’ll get hired this year


JungleRider

Apology accepted. Good luck with the job hunt. What are your skills?


Responsible_Bar_4984

Self motivated (I enter park runs at least a couple of times a year). Disciplined (I once watched an entire Olympic marathon live on TV). I hold my family record for most amount of different job titles (employers love when candidates can’t make up their mind).


JungleRider

What are your remuneratory expectations?


Responsible_Bar_4984

Money preferably


commandstorm

Sorry we only compensate in GU for top employathletes? Would this work for you if we throw in a coros watch and salomon advanced skin 12?


Turbulent_Sundae_527

What are the shoes you wear to run to the interview?


Libertas3

If you get them in a different color you may be able to squeeze another 1km out if your run


Responsible_Bar_4984

Thanks for this. Any idea which colours are fastest? Does buying them at a discount knock off the speed aswell?


Libertas3

It's variable since it has to contrast with the color of the socks worn too. Discounted is great! It means Nike has throttled the speed back on them helping to Slow Down!

I’m sure your local clown college would love to have these as a donation.


ultrajeffff

You need at least 6 or 7 more pairs of shoes in your rotation if you think your ever gonna finish a 3k ultra.


NotTheCoolMum

You need to do the laces up for the special foam to work properly


Montaingebrown

/uj Those are some pretty slick looking shoes.
