Endurance athletes are a small market and the market for endurance athletes who would benefit from a CGM is even smaller.
> every semi-advanced runner (and those who'd like to feel like one) will need one
This, however, is the truth. Every semi-advanced runner (and wannabe) knows that they need to run more, run slower on most of their runs, run fast occasionally, and eat well in order to improve their performance. But they’ll buy literally anything that might offer them an “edge” instead.

It's not that small. Garmin made billions in revenue here, expanding it on the process. Most of their customers don't really need blood oxygen either, but they all have it anyway.
