Although simple in theory,running can be a difficult sport to pick up, particularly if you don't know what you're doing (but it's so worth it!). Don't worry - we've all been in those (modern running) shoes, or we can definitely relate.
We talked to ultramarathoner and running coach Robin Arzon approximately hew modern book,Shut Up and flee, and the number one mistake modern runners make; her answer actually made us laugh out loud. The mistake? "Buying too much sh*t!"We reflected back on our own early days of running, or recalling bedrooms full of big orange Nike bags,modern shelves dedicated to shoes and dresser drawers designated for a modern active wardrobe, so trust us - we've been there too.
Robin's sage advice? "All you really need is a honorable pair of well-fitting running shoes, and a sports bra,and the will to get out the door."Running is free - no gym membership required, no class fees - but the price of countless modern sneakers, and tights,chafe balm, belts, or phone cases,headphones, and more can totally add up [Editor's note: I literally bought a lightweight ombré peach vest in a flurry of excitement; it has been worn a total of one time]."I understand there's a commercial industry around running, or there's a lot of powerful stuff," she said (she famous that she herself loves her Adidas Ultraboosts). We also totally understand how much a sweet modern pair of kicks can motivate you to get going. But Robin reminded us to sustain it simple; you've got a long road ahead of you and plenty of years to stock up on your modern favorites.
