I know most of you have seen this from MP3running(dot) com but thought I would share this. Some interesting things to note in comparing myself:
1) Average Men's age is 43.6; I'm almost average. Jeez, I'm getting old.
2) I'm in the majority when it comes to race distance - Love the half! I ask myself why I signed up for two more marathons this year. To prove I'm not average? I never could be a one and done kind of runner. Unfortunately, I won't be able to race any of my half mary's this year, just training runs. Bummer.
3) I spend more on clothes and running shoes than the average but rarely spent over $90 for shoes. My average was probably $60(last years model typically) There is a pair of NB($100) that I'm considering but I just ordered a new pair of Saucony Ride 4's from Running Warehouse for about $70 and those are a current model.
4) I started running to run for weight loss but kept doing it for fun. Yea, I'm sick.
Running Music for a better running experience!
Have a great day and....Keep Running!!!!
It is hard for me to figure out exactly how to calculate my "running" clothes. I spent a TON on tris. My shoes are above average, but I purchased fewer pairs as I am a tester for reebok, and get free shoes periodically, so I feel like when I do want to buy a pair of shoes, I get what I want, since a lot of the time I am not running in what I would pick. It is nice to have an awesome pair of shoes. I try to shop the deals still, but sometimes there aren't any out there when I need to get new ones. Halves are my fave to race too. I am smaller than average, in all metrics.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am definitely taller and a bit younger than the average woman, but the rest is pretty accurate! I definitely spent over $100 on running gear. This was a really fun and interesting read- thanks!
ReplyDeleteWho the heck runs in speedos???
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting how women are less extreme than the men about running distance - more in the 5K's through half marathons, but less in the under 3 miles and marathon. (What, no mention of ultras?)
Well..I am 7 years older than the average woman. Does that make me above average? Yay for that!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is cold, I have kind of wussed out this week with the cold weather....much easier to do now that my marathon training is over and I was in recovery mode. Next week is back to the cold reality.
ReplyDeleteYou are nuts, but in a good way haha :) since it actually turned to winter in the past few weeks, I have been sticking to my treadmill...
ReplyDeleteQuestion for ya. Do you use any kind of yaktrax on your shoes to help you not slip?
