Everything in life has gotten so expensive! Running gear is no exception to that. Shoes, clothing, equipment, food, and race-related fees have made a once affordable hobby rather expensive. Not all of us are sponsored runners, so we have to pay out of pocket for our equipment. So in this video I'll share a whole bunch of ways to save money while running in 2024.

      Thanks for the reminder, David! I should have mentioned that it was off-season and it may have only been during my visit that the gas station was closed. You're right, normally there's gas up there. Good catch.

    Is it in fact the difference between the Arctic and the Antarctic is that snow ants carve glaciers on the Antarctic. On another note - sounds like that bag treated and loved you well. Be sure to send it off with your gratitude and love as well! Do you like your new pack better?

    My top ways to save money running: 1 - Don't run 2 - Run Naked 3 - Run barefooted 4 - Run local. Very local. Like inside your home. Naked and barefooted. 5 - Drink from your neighbors hose 6 - If all those fail, then use your advice as backup.

    You guys are spending money to run? I just run for fun and don't care about what shoe I wear or what my PRs are (I have ran a 5K in 20 minutes for reference), I just run for the sake of it. Moslty because of boredom so just wear whatever I have, plus I used to run barefoot as many of my friends.

    Shoes don’t improve THAT much year on year. Some don’t at all, so buying the newest is rarely a big advantage. I still love the Saucony Endorphin Speed, 2 and use a pair for tempo days even though the 4 is already out. I also use dried dates and maple syrup as less expensive carbs.

    Outside of tens of thousands of humans licking the ice, I’m assuming the caves were carved by water flow, wind, or tens of thousands of humans peeing in the same spot. How deep are caves and what’s at bottom?

    I’m a big Kinvara fan too. Have you tried the 14s yet? I’ve hesitated because they are so different from the 12s and 13s. What jacket are you wearing in that video? I have an Airshed Pro that I really like but would like something with a full zipper.

  • @ThriftBoss
    @ThriftBoss 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great vid! What do you recommend for carrying phone while running considering the following: easy access to phone with minimal amount of moving/disturbance in getting it, and not wearing a running pack. is there any kind of minimal chest strap? Or do I have to go old skool and rock an arm band? Also, is that Coros 3 - does that have to connect to phone to track GPS?

    • @alexdtucker
      @alexdtucker 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Great questions, Cuyle! I have two items that I use for lightweight carrying. The SPIbelt and the Flipbelt. They are small belts that fit around the waist and hold phones/small food items/cards/money without bounce or interruption. I've never been a fan of the arm bans and think this is a good alternative. As far as the coros 3, no it will track GPS and w whole slew of great data without connecting to an app. Their app is pretty good and comprehensive and helpful with analysis of that data. But the watch can be used on its own regardless. Happy trails!
