And completely altruistic of them to produce a clothing range just to help the runners.

Advert in RW: (Additional comments by Sir L)
How good are you? Prove it with Xempo - the unique new running brand. (Sounds great, tell me more.)

Ever wondered why everyone gets the same race T-shirt regardless of time and position? (Um, no.)
Ever looked at another runner and wondered how good they are? (No, everyone is better than me)
Ever wanted to let someone know just how fast you are? (No. That would make me a sad tosser, wouldn't it?)

Created by experienced marathon runners (shame on you) our system of coloured tees works like martial arts belts: the colour denotes your level of ability and as you improve your colour changes.

Simply enter your PB on the website to find which colour you qualify for. Simple - and great for your running creds! (Really?)

The Xempo logo and your time category are printed on your T-shirt so that you and other Xempo runners can identify each other at a glance. (I'd rather not be associated with anyone that would want to do this....)

Ah. Topic best avoided. Suspect our own Rach E is somehow involved in this (ahem) worthy venture...

Ever worn a race T-shirt for running? Well, hardly ever.

Lol at SL - I just saw an advert for this in RW - up to now I was fairly proud of my achievement of 4:16 PB in a marathon - but according to Xempo that only entitles me to the bottom rank of a white t-shirt which is available to any runner who has completed any half marathon in any time. Although its not very consistant because I have a half marathon PB of below 1hr55which would entitle me to an orange shirt even though I haven't done a sub 4 hr marathon (yet!)

Probably 3/4 of the fetchies on here would only be entitled to a white shirt like me, so I don't think they'll be selling many somehow! :)
