How do you guys and gals deal with this or avoid it?

I recently did a 11 mile run and started chafing in the groin area around mile 8 and it only got more uncomfortable/worse as I went on. It became reddened and there is still some discomfort there 4 days later. But it wasn't bad to the point that it was bleeding. But it was enough that while running I was trying to adjust my stride to we if it would ease the discomfort. Luckily/unluckily around mile 10 other body parts starting hurting more which took the focus off the chafing.

That being said, I've had no problems with it swimming up to a mile and long bikes most recently 100 miles.

Use vaseline or a product called BodyGlide on problem areas.

Besides vaseline, I will try different clothing and underwear. I have more problems with certain types of clothing. Next time you go for a long run, try a different type of clothing/undergarment. I can only wear certain types of underwear with capri or tight shorts. I can't wear "runners" shorts. So, experiment.

Compression shorts or tri shorts. I can't wear typical running shorts on a longer run for the same reason. I recently did a marathon with compression shorts, and didn't even bother with body glide, and had no chafing at all.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I will experiment with the body glide and compression shorts.

compression like they said. I also used to use tons of body glide, but now just because I am lazy will just smash some butt butter or the like there.

Don't forget the nips

Anything much over an hour I use BG in the inner thigh and nips
