unners of every stripe prioritize performance and comfort when
it comes to shelling out for apparel and footwear, no matter
their age, weekly mileage or what's in their wallet, according to
survey results. Interesting, too, is that across the board the sweet
spot for spending is in the $500 - $1,000 range annually. But
runners follow very different paths when it comes to research-
ing what to buy. According to the findings, brand websites and
blogs are the top pick by high-mileage runners when looking for product
information, whereas recreational runners are more likely to seek advice
from magazine articles and/or feedback from friends and family prior to
purchasing their athletic shoes, clothing and gear. l
