Ep #029 Overpriced and Underprepared?

Feb 4, 2026 · 36 min · Ep 29

This week we tackle the growing barrier to entry in running, from a $227 cooling cap to the $1500 shoes, and ask whether innovation is improving performance or pricing runners out. Around the Track, we recap the Millrose Games and shout out some rapid miles. plus the launch of the official ACG Instagram. We run through everything being carried for a 100-mile race in New Zealand before closing with Coach’s Corner — Emily Spaan’s Summer Pattie intervals and a recap of our training week.
