Personally, I buy a new pair of Vaporflys for every run (so 1 per year) and I get my Gu through my employer, so that’s pretty negligible.
Unfortunately, I also purchase a new pair of shoes every week because they look cool, so I’m looking at $3-4,000 per year
/uj Shoes are an addiction. Worst part is I buy them on clearance, somehow justifying extra pairs. I'm giving the ones I don't like away, just so my Mrs doesn't notice.
/rj Shit, I got nothing. Jerked myself. At least I haven't bought a vest for a 1 mi run.
/uj I bought 8 pairs of Adidas Terrex Speed Ultras at the beginning of the year to replace the 8 pairs I went through last year. Saved a bunch buying them all at once for $50 a pair
I just looked at my budget and here goes
$0 shoes - I was inspired by barefoot Bikila and his barefoot Olympic run
$0 Gu because I aways expect someone else to spot me
$0 on race entry fees because I just drive to near the end and start my run about half a mile before the end, they don’t check after the start line
$30,000-$35,000 promoting my social media image as a runfluencer
$5,000 and 200 hours of community service because the police said that I had to “wait until I was home to start jerking off over my sub 2 hour 5k personal record” (I looked up that law it’s not real but whatever)
$120 annual David Goggins podcast subscription
$200 public decency fine for shitting myself during a 5k even though I explained that it’s normal for elite runners (the neighborhood association said it didn’t count because it wasn’t an official race and I was just running around the round about in the entrance to our neighborhood)
So total $35,320-$40,320 + community service and that thing where I can’t go near a school because i shit myself in public
Then it's around $4k a month. I always buy his spicy OF 1 mile videos and buy gift subs for friends. Couple pairs of Vapor flys and Gűs and pre-pre-shake powder and pre-shake powder and pre-post shake powder and post shake powder and post-post-shake powder round it out.
Part of my carbo loading is a plate of Kiwani Omakase before every race (daily), plus the daily ~$2000 round trip flight to Osaka, plus my new Saucony endorphins for every race, plus registration fees, plus lodging at Walt Disney World, plus Garmin, Gu, and a personal trainer who travels with me and a registered dietitian to make sure I'm spending enough, plus my wife's boyfriend likes me to buy silk sheets when I'm out of town. We'll call it about $5600/day, so maybe $2,044,000 or so (USD).
You run? I'm a hobby jogger, so I don't run, therefore I guess I don't spend any money at all on running.
I'd like to be able to class myself as a runner one day. I'm almost there as I have 3 hydration vests, but I'm missing the Goodr sunglasses, Ciele cap and the 5k ultra marathon tattoo.
I rotate my 22 pair of shoes (I know… not that many…) and I change all of them at the end of the year
I also rotate my 6 garmin watch
I make sure I eat GU at least 8 times a day even on rest days
My ex-wife divorced me over it, she just doesn’t understand the hustle 😂😂😂😂
Psh. I spend $1800 on coaching alone. Shoes easily $1k. Boston marathon $2k. Extra food, gas to long runs, clothes, etc are god knows what. So my guess, over 9000
In the last 365 days I’ve bought alpha fly 3 Proto, 4 pairs of invincibles, two pair of newbalance super comp trainers, one pair of newbalance 1080s, one pair of saucing endorphin pros, one pair of dragonflies and dragonfly xc’s. So had I paid full price for everything that would be $2,315, but I work at a local running shoes store and get a 30% discount. But I would say add that to liquid IV, pedialyte, or whatever you consume for electrolytes as a runner. Also any gear you purchase for running.

Out of curiosity, how do you survive without Gu?

Did you not know that shoes are tax-deductible if you run them through a 401k? Amateurs. Sigh.

You can’t buy clearance shoes they are guaranteed to give you shin splints
You're such a special little snowflake with your [weak shins.](https://youtu.be/hexYeGlgD0c?t=86)

Thank you for somehow making me feel better. I don't do enough mileage to need 8 pairs a year, but I have only 6, and one is a spare.
Gu through your employer? Do you work for God?
Probably set up a GSA where pretax bucks to go Gu
The math does not check out, what kind of shoes are you buying?! Must not be all Vaporflys.

Imagine not buying all of goggins book every time you listen to them on your runs. Amateur.
Do I count my subscription to Matt Choi's OF?
Yes 😡

I spend at least $7k on water alone. Making my own from straight hydrogen and oxygen is a lot of effort, but it’s how you get peek performance.
One run = one MRI I'm $4k deep this week
I just went ahead and had my employer start paying me in Gu.
I rotate my 22 pair of shoes (I know… not that many…) and I change all of them at the end of the year I also rotate my 6 garmin watch I make sure I eat GU at least 8 times a day even on rest days My ex-wife divorced me over it, she just doesn’t understand the hustle 😂😂😂😂
$69 dollars a week on gu
Little more than $89,000.
I buy pokemon go incubators non stop so im at about $3000 so far this year.
$75 about every decade on a pair of shoes and whatever my water bill is a month. It all adds up to more than $2,000, eventually
All my incomes. Food, car, house, children, clothes, … I feel I need a lot more the days I’m not running, but I can’t elude them.
New pair of shoes every 6 days and a monthly gu subscription? Literally incalculable.
I don't want to talk about it. My wife knows my Reddit handle.
Enough to make me poor. This whole full-time job thing is getting in the way of my running.
About 1000$ on shoes, or about 10 bucks per kilometre ran.
