I'm afraid you've completely missed on what running is all about, and you are nothing short of a disgrace to the sport.
Stick your expensive trainers up your arses, and go and take up golf or something...
Wow, you're really fast. I'm sorry that I'm a disgrace to the sport. I was merely explaining that the super-elite like yourself typically wouldn't wear a fanny pack during a 5k race.
Well, I can't decide wether you're a sarcastic moron, or just a plain idiot, but here goes: no I'm not really fast, I'm pretty much average... no point rubbing it in and calling me 'super elite'.
However, whoever was taking the mickey out of the poor guy for asking about wearing a fanny pack is a snotty arse. What in god's name does it matter what you wear (or how fast you are for that matter) provided it works for you...
Same with those guys going on about speedos... get a life... they're clothes, you wear them. End of story.
I had a farmer friend who used to do all his training in wellies... 'managed a 1H14 half-marathon aged 45. I have another friend who goes mountain climbing in his wellies... and why not? Keeps his feet dry...
I did a triathlon this week-end; there was a guy there that had a massive sticker on his car that advertised his name: 'Jason Sawyer, ultra triathlete'. He had all the latest gear and a £2,000 mountain bike. I had holes in my shoes and my bike cost me £300... but I still finished in front of him. Point is, it's not how you look.
Would I wear a fanny pack in a 5K race? no. Would it bother me if someone did? not a bit.
