Whats the point of wasting money on fancy running gear when most of you are just going to end up walking the last 10 miles of the marathon anyway? Are the fancy shoes and high-tech socks really going to make a difference when youre crawling across the finish line? And dont even get me started on the ridiculous outfits some of you wear - do you really think the neon green and pink stripes are going to distract from your lack of actual athleticism?
Can anyone actually recommend some gear that wont break the bank and will actually make a difference in performance, or are you all just sheep following the latest trends and marketing gimmicks? And please, spare me the its all about the technology and science nonsense - Ive seen the actual data and its all just a bunch of overhyped marketing speak.
And whats with the obsession with marathon training anyway? Is it really that impressive to run 26 miles in 5 hours when youre not even pushing yourself to your limits? I mean, Ive seen high schoolers do that on a Sunday morning jog. Wheres the challenge? Wheres the achievement?
Oh, and one more thing - can someone explain to me why every single running forum and website is filled with people talking about their journey and their struggle and their perseverance? Cant you all just talk about the actual gear and training methods without all the emotional nonsense? Its just running, people. Get over yourselves.
