  • I have the exact same problem and now do most of my running in capris. I have a question regarding running skirts though. I have a few, and I love them...for about the first 4 minutes...after that, the bike shorts under also start to ride up on me. Suggestions for that? The bike shorts feel tight, but not compression…

  • Have a day off work today, so I've been hunting around MFP, and I'm so excited to have found this. I was an an avid (thought slow) runner until I had my daughter almost 6 years ago.
