The men's 50 kilometre walk at the London Olympics started and finished on The Mall on 11 August 2012. Rob Heffernan, a Cork walker who had already finished ninth in the 20 kilometre race a week earlier, walked 3:37:54 and came fourth. It was an Irish record. Fourth place at an Olympic Games is the worst result in sport, and that is where the story sat for the next three and a half years.
Heffernan was 34 and at his fourth Olympics. The 3:37:54 he walked that afternoon is still the Irish record in August 2026, and it is now a record that cannot be beaten: the 50 kilometre walk has since been removed from the championship programme.
Half tights are fitted compression shorts ending at mid-thigh, worn as the outer racing garment by sprinters and, increasingly, elite marathoners. They exist for fit — zero loose fabric, zero chafe, a locked-in feel from the blocks — not for proven speed.
That last part matters: across 51 randomized studies, compression garments show no significant effect on race times. What they measurably do is damp muscle vibration while you run and nudge recovery afterwards. The rest of their argument is made of fit, and it is a good argument.
