I have it on very good authority that 'Very sure on a road marathon they wouldn't' headphones are NOT covered on road marathons - interesting. Disturbing in a way.
Any chance of that in English ?
But Terry might not like pop, he might have opera on his headphones.
( you know, it's not over til the fat lady sings etc )
Headphones are sort of amusing in a way. While running along public footpaths in the woods nearby, I occasionally have cause to pass these 'in a world of their owns' from behind.
Is it my fault they damn near shit themselves as I pass?

FFS - headphones. Wear them, don't wear them, who cares?
When running on your own, do what you want. But common sense will tell you that there are times when this might not be wise or perhaps the music should be paused?
In a race, if headphones aren't allowed, then it's up to you whether you do or don't. You won't spontaneously combust or be struck down from the heavens for such a heinious crime, but if you do cause an incident and someone complains, then you were breaking the rules, so accept it, and don't moan about it. The reality is that lots of people wear headphone in races (whether it's allowed or not) and it just isn't the problem some people seem to make it out to be.
Either way, it's not that big a deal, is it?
If people break the rule that says "no headphones during the race", does that mean I can break the rule that says "no punching people in the back of the head"?
More to the point, if Terry is so hell bent on breaking the rules because he regards his judgement to be of a higher order. What other rules and laws is he dispensing with?
🙂
well, what an exciting debate this turned into.
Yet again this year earphones are not allowed.
Is this going to be a big marathon? I see in the FAQ they are advertising entertainment; cheerleaders, bands and cheering points.It's going to be crowdy isn't it? The Nottingham 10k was crowdy.
An the bizarre nature of the organisers mindset gets more bizarre. Head phones = lack of aural awareness, so danger, as runners will not hear. Cheerleaders, bands and cheering points = lack of aural awareness, so danger, as runners will not clearly hear. Thank you Nottingham for clearly showing what a stupid rule it is.
