We’ve retired the Diddy badge and replaced it with a new Joe Strummer badge “Train in Vain”.
It’s so named for both a single off the Clash’s “London Calling”, as well as for Joe Strummer’s marathon training regimen which is notable chiefly for its distinct lack of existence.
If you’ve already earned the Diddy badge, you get to keep it under the limited edition badge section, perhaps you might consider it a historical artifact.
🖤 Perfect choice — I love it. Something to aim for. Rudie can’t fail.
Good call!
By the way, having other marathon badges would be nice 🙂 Right now it jumps from 3:59 to 2:55, it’s a big gap. I think a lot of people are aiming for 3:30 ish marathons… Just a thought :p
I would like to second JD´s statement and I would like to propose maybe even having a 3:45 marathon badge, as I feel, quite a lot of people are aiming for a finish time between sub 4 and 3:30, or even 3:15, before it´s really going tough for a sub 3. 😉
Should I have this badge if I’ve gone under 4:13 in the past? I have the Palin badge already.
(I kind of hope *not*, 4:13 would be a nice goal for my next full.)
Gordon Ramsay (chef): 3:30:37 in the 2004 London Marathon
That’s good one!
Call it… “Faster than an idiot sandwich”
Here are some ideas!
Brian Cranston 3:20(1985) – “Breaking Badge”
Gordon Ramsey 3:30(2004) – “Faster than an idiot Sandwich” or “Run faster, ya muppet!”
Edward Norton 3:48(2009) – “First rule of run club” We all run about run club.
Ryan Reynolds 3:50(2008) – “Merc with the Miles” (or get Mint mobile as sponsor and use “Mint Mobile Strider”
