Tested: 9 premium running products that are actually worth it
If you've spent any length of time running, you know how expensive it can be. The more you run, the easier it is to open your wallet for clothes and gear that will make your runs more pleasant. I can't help but think of a meme of Kermit the Frog. On the left, he sits on a pile of money with the running text, "Buying running clothes and shoes." In an image on the right, he counts pennies above the words "Spending money on anything else." While premium gear usually equates to more expensive options, that's not always the case.
