Run fast comrade, the old world is behind you

Interesting to see that a 'Louise Michel Sports Club' has been established in South East London, a radical group based around 'solidarity through fitness' with an initial focus on running, self-defence and hiking. They are named after the famous Paris Commune revolutionary who lived in SE London later in her life (a while ago I promised to organise a walk around her old haunts, maybe it could be a radical history run some time). Anyway I am dying to get my hands on one of their forthcoming t-shirts which they previewed on their twitter feed earlier (@louisemichelsc): 

Anyway that reminds me of another idea I had for a radical running t-shirt, based around a slogan written on the walls of Paris during May 1968 - 'cours, camarade, le vieux-monde est derriere toi' (run, comrade, the old world is behind you)

or in another variation 'cours vite...' (run fast...)

Would love to reproduce one of the above on a running top some day, technical fabric of course.

My running T-shirts

Accumulating t-shirts goes with the territory for running doesn't it? Thought I'd document some of my mine before some of the cheaper ones fade away in the wash...

The hard-earned parkrun 50 t-shirt, presented at Hilly Fields earlier this year

London Marathon 2014 marshall t-shirt,
for helping on the bag lorries at Blackheath with Hilly Fields parkrun crew

'5k your way' at Hackney Marshes 2013
- different colour shirts for the different local Council teams taking part
('Team Southwark' for me)

5k your way, Hackney Marshes again - yes they change the team colours every year!

T-shirt from the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens - scene of 1896 Olympic Games,
and where I ran a couple of the laps of the track last week

Kent Athletic Club vest - proud to have run three races in this since joining in the summer,
plenty more coming up in the rest of the cross country season
