Talkbo lang ng Talkbo! The Noisy and Running Thread Episode 1

To Patrickt

- i also had several very close calls in pole vault, which made me quit that event in favor of so called safer but equally exciting disciplines. It's nice pushing the body to the limit but am glad i left vaulting.

okay lang ba magsuot ng jockstrap lang pag naka compression tights?

^why do you need to wear jockstrap when running? are you playing rugby or football?

... then you mean normal underwear would do? I'm just concerned on what it would look like since the tights would show the underwear linings.

From an expert's point of view, just what kind of undergarment one would wear when in compression tights. This is my first time.

[blue_tooth]

upcoming event for runners.

You should not be wearing underwear under tights (compression, cycling, or running) or running shorts.

[BeerhandBop]

going commando in public is borderline act of gheyness you see.

[brianpex]

It will motivate you to run faster.

seriously?

[brianpex]

Seriously. Cotton underwear will just absorb sweat and chafe your tender areas. Combine that with the repetitive motion of running or cycling and it's enough to cause blisters, saddle sores or even bleeding.

Some runners or cyclists even have to use lube (chamois cream for cyclists) in certain areas to reduce friction/hotspots.

I normally wear normal underwear when I run wearing shorts and I apply petroleum jelly on my upper inner thighs.

juan dude run with what's comfortable. suggestion: don't run with something you've never run on before, eg don't try something new during the race, it's advice was given to me by a marathoner, and it's an advice given in most runner's magazine.

I run with my army shorts, tighty whiteys everyday, I'm great. I've run with board shorts in Hawai'i, I've run in tons of different kinds of shorts and I've not a problem. As for compression, I usually run in shorts during most years, but when it's below 40 i usually put on tights, i wear underwear, and i wear shorts over it (it just look gay when I'm running with the body armor tights on) but otherwise run however you like: commando or with underwear. Try it first, see how you like it then run with it.

Thanks!

I've seen runners wearing compression tights (obviously I don't know what they wear under) and they looked cool and I think I will look cool as well since tights make your legs look cut, and I think it's time for me to show them.

I just want to know the rules and what the majority of runners (who at their some point wore tights during their runs) prefer.

This may sound immature, but I want to feel and look like a runner and one of the many ways of expressing it is by looking like one. This would make me feel good.

I just want my balls in place without showing underwear lines.

[F-A Soldier]

Buddy trust me looking like one isn't the same as being one. You know the first guy who broke the 4 minute mile run like he was a retard? No kidding. What does that tell you? Do rather than be the look of. Enjoy running and don't enjoy the fad. I see slow *** weak runners that have all the gear...but in reality they're weak runners.

You know what I run with? My old basic training grey sweater, some 6 dollar running shorts from WalMart, my old brown army t shirt, my 4 year old mp3 player which i hold in my hands, ankle socks and my adidas pair. In the weekends I run with my hair all jacked up, before I was my face and brush my teeth, so early in the morning I look like I'm hungover. But I run my mileage and I sprint train.

Nothing wrong of course in trying to look the part, it's up to you. But suggestion is this: run with what you think is best and don't over do it. Try it first, and judge by how it feels than how it looks...of course there are limitations lol.

ps I hate jock strap, i only wear it for karate. how about speedos inside? if you don't like briefs.

[running_kat]

heres a link about running shorts:

http://www.marathontraining.com/articles/art_29th.htm

and for chafing, there is BODYGLIDE.

you can also use bodyglide when wearing new shoes. it prevents blisters.

i dont use anything cotton when i run. i sweat a lot so i use a moisture-wick material kind of shirts purchased on those discount stores. my fave is the nike pro series shirts. i only use cold gear tights on colder weather, do layering on top and running gloves. my hands get really cold.

and to Juan_Hustler, if "looking" the part motivates you to run better and enjoy it even more..i don't see anything wrong with it. do what makes you happy.

[juan_hustler]

F-A Soldier & running_kat, thanks for the encouragement!

[DI10]

Frequent Runner here... The Fort, Roxas, UP... weekly may events naman eh.

My Best competition time sa
5k - 30 min 17 secs (Globe run for home)
10k - 1 hr 11 min 50 sec (Adidas King of the Road)

Hoping to improve. Need to improve my stride. Or baka hanggang dun lang talaga. lol.

Joining the Timex run this weekend.

[F-A Soldier]

Improve stride: stretch. I don't usually stretch but what I notice is that whenever I do, and or when I've done about a mile, my strides get longer and more loose and natural.

Stretch wise I think focus on hams.

This is getting kinda interesting and funny (Not intending to make fun of you JUAN_HUSTLER).

I myself am into function for the most part, whatever works for me. One of my most memorable powerlifting meets was at the now defunct Clark Airforce Base (USAF) Powerlifting invitationals. At the time, a strong showing from Clark airforce base and U.S. marines from okinawa wearing the complete powerlifting gear.

Whereas i (competing for my university) wore my senior highschool year track jersey and running shorts!

Inspite of my improper lifting gear, the closest competition of the invitationals was the 165 lb category (my weight division).

D110-
You need to improve your stride? You reffering to your practical stride LENGTH?

F-A SOLDIER
Your basic training uniform huh, and your probably pretending your doing PT with your DI at your back!
