go-as-you-please

Under the rules of "pedestrianism", colloquially known as "go-as-you-please" racing, competitors could walk or run.

It was a leisurely, go-as-you-please affair, and, as a railroad, was considerable of a joke.

Law and order in those days was a “go-as-you-please” sort of arrangement.

The South London Harriers’ open “go-as-you-please” walking or running match of May 6th, 1899, attracted the attention of the athletic world in a very marked degree.

Klondyke, for all his go-as-you-please air, was not the kind of man who entered easily upon personal relations.
