I've had the account for only 3 months now but it has been a very solid investment. For $12.99/month (or something like that) for a year long subscription, I can access all the live feeds and in-depth documentary type of episodes they come out with every now and then. This content is what I want!
$150/year can seem steep, especially for a full-time college student, but in my opinion it is well worth it. Just being kept up to date with what is happening in college and professional running, and staying connected to the high school scene. The whole subscription is an immersion into the running world!
How much you spend on running shoes every year? How much do you spend on clothing? Let's face it for such a simple sport we tend to drop a little more money than you would think.
The great thing about Flotrack Pro is that for anyone serious about improving or becoming more ingrained into the running culture, this is the ultimate tool. Their consistent and complete coverage of the biggest meets of the year as well as an array of interviews with professional athletes is the best out there.
Ryan Fenton, Alex Lohr, and most recently Gordon Mack are the new faces of track media. The old Track and Field News and Running Times are now falling to the way side. The British announcer that every runner loves to hear on television coverage of a marathon here and there is soon to be replaced by Fenton, Lohr or Mack's voice.
American marathoning legend Frank Shorter is bound to remain timeless in his color commentary with the big road races of the year, but Flotrack is starting a take over. Their growing social media presence is staggering and I for one am hooked.
I am certain, on a daily basis, I check at least the front page of Flotrack as often as I check my Facebook.
If I haven't convinced you to get a Pro account, they still have tons of free content. Usually they post videos of almost every race that was on the live feeds a few days after the events for those without a paid account. Before I was a paying customer I tuned in every Tuesday for Run Junkie to get my fix.
If you I have the time, and I assume you do if you are reading my small, insignificant blog, then go check out Flotrack right now. Any avid fan should feel compelled to support their undercovered sport, but I realize money is an issue for some.
Fenton, Lohr and Mack (as well as the staff at Flotrack) are doing a great thing for the sport! Please make sure they can continue to bring us the best running content around.
