Even worse than that is when one or all of those factors leave me with (sometimes bloody!) scrapes from chafing.Īll around not awesome, especially considering that running for me is a moving meditation, especially when I’m out for a run on the trails or on the hills.
I’ve had the great misfortune of being out on a run and having to pull my shorts up every few minutes as they start to sag, alternating with pulling them down as they start to ride up, and the extra bonus of having to stop running to wring them out every 20 to 30 minutes because they aren’t able to wick enough of my sweat. And this, for me, has been much harder than it may seem.
