In 1968, Senator Storm Thurmond received a job question from the police in the state of South Carolina, USA. The reason is that Mr. Thermond was running and he was regarded as a suspicious person. From this incident, it is clear that at that time, training called running was not popular in general.

Now, everyone is doing easy going for health maintenance and dieting purposes, but there are no people doing running exercises in the 1960s America, and those who run as training go to boxers and first class athletes It seems that it was limited.

One jogger told the New York Times that "At first it was thought that everyone sees it with strange eyes, and that was exactly the case, but nobody was curious and nobody was going to run I got a lot of fun. "

Later, in the 1970 's, sportsmakers such as NIKE and others launched training wear for running, all the joggers bought. Moreover, it seems that it produced not only the effect that it is easy to run by wearing training wear but also a by-product that can avoid the police's job question.
