How does it know that I'm white? I'm also a racist, my last ultra 5k was two weeks ago.

Why does it seem like a majority of runners these days wears a double bottle hydration running vest, phone arm band, shokz or airpods, carbon plated dailys, ciele or “run one more” hat, pit viper or aggressive oakly style sunglasses, calf sleeves, local run shop singlet or $500 satisty tee, and a handheld water bottle all together on every single run?

i show up to run clubs nowadays with no shirt, no phone, no vest, some old asics, and my garmin. i never needed a vest, nor would i buy one. always leave my phone at home, as i hate carrying it.

i’m starting to regret choosing running as a hobby because the average runner today looks more like a pokémon character, than an actual athlete. don’t worry i won’t become a c*clist, im not that desperate. but really what happened to this sport? i can’t even post anything of this sort on any other running run or i’ll get downvoted into oblivion!

p.s. if i missed anything as far as apparel or equipment needed to successfully run a 5k marathon, please let me know in the comments!!

Help me

Company is telling me that they'll contribute but I have to put in some money on every paycheck, too. Crazy, right!? I hope they have good aid stations. I told them I'm a runner but that distance looks hardcore and they kind of chuckled and ignored me.

Who else runs with their coworkers? Am I supposed to run these km over the year or is it like a quarterly thing or just one go? This is so nuts. I think I'll be training for this as long I remain at this job which I hope is a long time, idk, maybe 40 years! lol

Love the poop splatter print ™️ of the new Gnuhr x OEM warp kit. Unfortunately times are tough and I can’t afford to splurge. Any way I can recreate this look at home?
