There are two ways to take a hobby seriously. You can engage in the hobby, or you can spend money on the hobby. The former might be more rewarding, but that latter is way easier.
I'm thinking of building a boat in my garage, but I'll spend lots of money and it will never get finished. That's my history.
To the OP...seriously🙄 Dude, get a life. We support your economy.

Hey JockSimple. My dinghy is bigger than your whole boat.

Today on my run I passed a HJ who was decked to the nines with a camelback, Optic Nerve sunglasses (it was cloudy..), Nike Dri-Fit Compression socks (yep, because you'll definitely need those for your 6 mile long run), bluetooth headphones, AND a waterbottle belt to go with the camelback (it's 40 degrees out Y U SO THIRSTY!!). Unless this was a new a ad campaign for runnersworld or something, the modern consumer, specifically hobbyjoggers must be pretty dumb to buy all of this crap. The only times that are going to be dropping by wearing all of this crap is that time it takes to declare bankruptcy from spending all of your money on useless junk.
Was that you? Sorry I startled you when I came up form behind so fast. Were you doing a cool down jog? I was just finishing up my 40 miler. It was sunny when I started so I just left my shades on. The headphones are pretty sweet. I do admit I get a little bored when I go over 30 miles so I like to have some tunes to listen to. Maybe we can go for a run sometime.
Sounds like OP got styled on pretty hard

That guy probably earns four times as much as you, so he can afford it.

Probably because this hobby jogger, unlike you, can afford equipment just for fun, unlike you, a hobby jogger who's too busy obsessing about running to get a decent paying job. My advice: less criticism of other runners and more attention to a career.
Free advice from an expert. You're welcome.
The ones I know don't even have a car an essential requirement for any runner to get to training and races even around London. Hundreds on tech at home running gear, bike and they are cadging lifts to races.
Professionals are the worst runners they think because they are reasonably successful in one thing they are an expert in running addressing one book. They can't even just go for a group long run together . One put on Facebook that looking for someoneto do long run at 9:35 pace. 5 seconds those Garmin manufacturers have removed any freedom or enjoyment from what essentially is jogging.
It is ok if you only shop the clearance racks at TJMax for your gear.
