Well I thought so...

(Indignant clearing of throat)...

Mr.Rickman is much older than I am!

Speaking of similarities, I just saw El Guerrouj win the 1500m, and I have to say that his running style is almost, but not quite, completely and undeniably totally opposite to mine.

Er, which isn't actually a similarity. Um, never mind.

Who started this silly thread anyway?

Don't think anyone has a running style quite like mine - well definitely not as slow!!

I always liked Julie Welch's description of her own running style:

"My legs are short and my frame is dumpy. My style is idiosyncratic. I lean forwards, glare at the ground and pump my right arm vigorously. If ever you need to pick me out in a group of runners, I'm the one who look as though she's pushing an imaginary Hoover."

I'm going to put up that whole article sometime soon.
