From LetsRun
"On the cost of running he says, “What should be the cheapest sport is
running. A good pair of shoes, a decent pair of shorts (is all you
need), but you know what a good pair of shoes now that you need to be a
serious runner are probably 140 bucks.”
A co-host, Danny Balis, throws out that the New
Balance 993s as the best running shoes on the market and then they start
discussing running shorts, the high prices of Lululemon, and it starts
going downhill fast. We don’t want to ruin it, but here are some quotes
sure to entertain along the way, “It’s not like I’m crapping my pants”
and “if a ball falls out the side so be it.......”"
Running expenses are whatever you make them to be. You can spend a lot on unnecessary gear and travel/hotel/entry fee to race the San Diego Rock n Roll Marathon if you want. You can be reasonable and get the essentials and get a lot of miles out your trainers and do a few local races for fun. If you are like me all of your running clothes are leftover from college or shirts came with the entry fee for a road race. Either way running is pretty cheap when compared to other hobbies.

Maybe a running MBA student can figure a way to get the rights to the original Brooks Villanova and find a way to produce them in Hanover and sell them for $40, just twice what they cost in the late 70s.
ReplyDeleteHow about a running B.S. in Econ and Business Administration graduate?
