Personalized Running Success: AI Plans for Every Recreational [526c]

Speaking of the most expensive sports,

some people might say golf, fencing, skiing...

These sports are indeed very costly,

and without a few million in savings, they can be quite exhausting to pursue.

Now, when it comes to money-saving sports,

everyone probably thinks of running first, right?

You can run anywhere, as long as you have feet.

But is running really the most economical sport?

Just take a look at the image below to find out.

Many people can relate: when you truly fall in love with something, you can't help but spend money on it. Just like women love bags and lipsticks; men love sports cars and beautiful women.

A passionate runner will carefully research which professional gear to wear during races to better protect themselves and potentially improve their performance.

For the average runner, they might not spend as much as the runner in the image, but it's definitely not as simple as “running costs nothing” as some might think.

How much does it cost to run a marathon? Miss Codoon will do the math for you.

The registration fee averages 100 yuan, a pair of marathon-capable running shoes averages 500 yuan, round-trip transportation costs about 500 yuan if you’re not flying, arriving a day early means at least one night's stay, which is about 200 yuan, and you need to eat at least four meals, which is another 200 yuan. So, roughly 1500 yuan, not counting any additional spending on clothing.

So, do you still think running costs nothing?

Running as a hobby might save some money compared to marathon running, but it's still not free.

To run comfortably and avoid knee injuries, you need a pair of running shoes (unless you want to risk it by running in slippers or barefoot, which Miss Codoon wouldn't recommend). Ordinary running shoes cost around two to three hundred yuan.

In summer, it's easier; you can run in a T-shirt and shorts without spending much. But in winter, you need to dress more appropriately.

Quick-dry underwear and windproof jackets can easily cost a few hundred yuan, and for women, a good sports bra also costs a few hundred yuan. In short, running still requires spending money.

For those who participate in marathons, spending a few thousand yuan a year is quite common. For higher-level trail races, the costs are even higher.

Headlamps, trail packs, hydration bladders, trekking poles... each piece of equipment is a significant expense. Compared to this, running the occasional marathon is actually quite economical.

Miss Codoon believes that if you're not interested in running and don't want to start, it's best not to criticize the sport by saying things like “running costs nothing.” We runners have a thousand reasons to leave you speechless.

For those who don't want to spend a lot on marathons, Miss Codoon recommends a new way to run marathons—Codoon Online Marathon.
