Running Ain't Cheap
from The Runner's Club Podcast Hosted by therunnersclubpodcast
Running is supposed to be one of the most accessible sports in the world. So why does it feel like we need a second job just to afford it? This week, Courtney, Ian, and Mike get into the rising cost of running and how a sport that only requires a pair of shoes has turned into expensive race entries, travel, watches, gear, and race-day fits. How much of it do we actually need, and how much are we convincing ourselves we need? We also recap Chicago Marathon weekend, the energy at Mile 23, and why sometimes the training journey means more than crossing the finish line. Plus, we get into the controversy surrounding New York Marathon festivities, extreme race conditions, the Moab 240, and the wild things endurance athletes put themselves through. And somewhere along the way, we discover Courtney's been in her chef era, and Ian apparently hasn't been paying attention. Running might be free, but being a runner? That's a whole different story.
