Running Shorts

I love the Nike and Addias running-tennis skirts they have short already built in. Look really cute and are comfy!

My husband likes this brand: Road Runners. He runs marathons and likes the way they fit plus they have lots of pockets for his gels.

I don't know if you guys have LULULEMON in the states but they have the best workout gear.

get some running capris or tight running shorts that you can just wear without shorts over them...I wore them with a big shirt when I was just starting out...when I started to really run I switched to tech shirts and tanks...Champion makes some good ones (you can get them at Target) and JCPenny has some as well.

Nike makes the best running shorts - I don't know what they are called or what model they are or whatever, but they are form-fitting like a spandex or compression short, but they are made of Dri-fit fabric which means they breathe and keep you MUCH cooler. I absolutely swear by them. They also make shirts with the same material that have various levels of support bras in them, which I love when it is super hot.

I started running in capris and longer shorts because of the chub rub. As I've lost weight - and as it got hotter out (95 today!), I've moved to shorts. I don't notice it as much anymore. I wear the Nike running shorts with the built in panties. It took me a bit to wear them without a second pair, but now that I do - HEAVEN. So much cooler 'down yonder!"

Also, if you are wearing shorts, get some Monkey Butt Powder or Glide stick and put that on your inner thighs. Will prevent the chafing and skin burn.

I like Under Armor compression shorts. I bought Nike's first - they have kind of a brushed finish. The UA's are thicker and offer much more compression - they are basically bike shorts with no padding. The Nike's are good if one's major purpose is simply modesty, the UA's are serious compression shorts.

An addendum to my previous post. I love the UA compression shorts but hate their regular running shorts. I buy the style with pockets and the pockets are not deep enough. Obviously this is not an issue if you don't use the pocket shorts, but I wanted to make sure that my endorsement of their compression shorts is not a blanket endorsement of all their products! I wear Asics 7” pocket shorts.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond! I sweat--A LOT-with any exercise, so I wanted to avoid the big tee shirt if at all possible. I like to wear tanks when running, but I sooooo cannot NOT cover my butt if I'm wearing bike/compression shorts alone. Anyway, keep the suggestion coming---all information is appreciated!

Stop worrying about covering your butt with something. More layers and baggy t-shirts make it look worse. Wear workout clothes that make you feel awesome!
