Tech and Running...How Much Is Too Much? | Episode 122

Some love it and some hate it. All the tech gadgets and running improvements we've been blessed with over the years has no doubt, helped make us faster. But is there too much for what used to be a simple sport and hobby. We discuss some of those things and ponder the question, have we added too much?
What do you think? Too much or just enough?

Disagree with virtual races or back yard runs being BS. A lot of my work is evenings and weekends so I can’t always get to races but I do like completing the distance and I don’t feel it invalidates it just because I’m not flying across the country to do races. Similar to what you all said for the kid wearing carbon plate shoes. Who cares how fast he runs it’s a PR for him. The gate keeping on running is a bigger barrier than technology is in my opinion.

Hey Chris! I think you and one of us are in agreement on the Virtual Races. LOL. And I think we all agree on the carbon plated shoes idea or tech in general. It may just not have come across that way. We're all for the PR's and however you get to it....short of cheating like cutting courses. :)
