The Running Thread

[Victor Mildew]

Got a lovely friction burn from my shorts lining right on the tip of my bell end from this morning's run. Stings a lot.

Just some information I thought you'd like to know.

Haha I get the thigh chub-rub shorts chafing if I don't wear leggings, and the nipple chafing if I don't slather them in copious amounts of vaseline before a 10k, but never had it there before.

Hang on - were you not wearing underwear?

[Victor Mildew]

No, I don't wear underwear with them. They have a swewn in mesh pair of pants anyway to hold the old chap in place. I can't imagine how sweaty it'd be with pants on.

[That's not a growth]

I got some compression shorts to wear as underwear when I run because I found my regular boxers just couldn't handle the mix of intense sweat and friction and imploded in the crotch within months.

Also I find my nipples are mainly only sore when I'm really sweaty (usually if it's more than 23 degrees or so)/ there's heavy rain and it's more than 10k or so. Like you Aaron I found vaceline does the trick, but thankfully I've not had an issue for a while since it's been a mild, mainly dry, summer.

I have literally had this happen to me.

Managed to get my first cross country in since school on Sunday. Forgot how tough running through long grass is on your legs!

I have literally had this happen to me.

Tips for that? I always get it around the 10K mark, not the blood, but the strawberry floating pain.

Lube up your nips

Vaselining my nips (feels good man) worked for me, but it has left stains on my luminous yellow running shirt.

And yeah, I hear electrical tape or plasters can work too.

For nips I use a bit of vaselene plus a pit of this surgical tape,

then if they are sore i use sudocrem.

Cheers me dears, I'll have to start doing this as I up my distances.

Parkrun organisers looking to restart events in England by late October. I’ve definitely missed it while it’s been away.
