Run Run Away

Question:
You probably don’t want to hear that I’ve run in lycra shorts almost daily for 3+ years now in Syracuse…
Do you warm up your legs first?  I thought the conventional wisdom was that cold muscles were more easily injured.  I’ve had a lot of trouble with injuries, so [...]

Question:
This is hopefully an easy question for somebody. I just started running a few weeks ago. Approx. 3 1/2 miles 4 days a week right now. It doesn’t always bother me but occasionally I get an irritating rash from my upper thighs rubbing together. Other than wearing running pants, what’s [...]

Response:
I’ve had the same problem.  A cheap but [...]

Question:
Anyone know where I can get some running pants to fit my 36" inseam? Places like Roadrunner Sports sell pants, but they’re too short. I need some that are a lightweight supplex, not tights but pants. Any information would be appreciated.

Question:
Ken, I think you mean you wore an extra JOCK every year. Jim

Response:
Ken, I think you mean you wore an extra JOCK every year.
