We're posting our first "Running in the Real World" clip where Sports Radio 1310 the Ticket in DFW weighs in on how expensive running is.
After first talking about a Luke's Locker going into a new development "You put a running store somewhere – let me tell you something – you’re whitening it up," they turn to how expensive running is, "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."
It goes from there as they talk about having to constantly buy running shorts. If you want to listen click below.
It got us thinking, is running one of the more accessible, inexpensive sports or one of the most expensive?
It's the most accessible sport in that anyone can do it by themselves, but in terms of costs shoes have to be replaced, races entered, etc. Clothes can last a much longer time.
We don't have a ton of insight ourselves, as almost everything we do running related now is a write-off or free.
Chime in.
