Any controversial/unpopular opinion that you may have in regards to running

My hot take is that Adidas shoes > Nike

    Running shoes are so ugly. All of them.

    Which doesn’t matter when I’m running, but it’d be nice to retire them to casual everyday shoes.

      I’m shocked at the support to this hot take. I can’t say I agree- I love how outlandish, garish, and bright our shoes are!

      Couldn’t agree more. Running shoes are freakishly ugly. In fact running clothes in general seem specifically designed to make us all look like compete and utter dorks 😂

        I ran in a cotton flannel and a regular yesterday & it did not slow me down. Obviously I wasn’t going to run in jeans, but I feel like most clothes can be running clothes as long as the fit & movement is there.

        I’ve fully embraced it. I wear ugly shoes, pull my socks up over my lumpy wool sweatpants, use a gaudy fannypack, a bright pink headband and a hideous turquoise bright windbreaker on top of a mustard yellow wool sweater.
