106 | Subject: RE: Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas Originally posted by Jtiger I cringe whenever I see shorts over tights. Full Disclosure: I'm not a shy guy at all The free flowing hair with women they got dead wrong. It's like a Bay Watch episode. I have always worn shorts over my tights because I am self conscious. Now that I know the truth, people are laughing more because of the shorts than they would be without, I will go without this winter! It might just be a very freeing experience |

Not even in that "sexy/sweaty" kind of way. It's just gross. Unless the woman isn't running hard enough to work up a sweat, that is. Maybe that's the difference in what we're talking about. |

See, and if that's the case, then she's not really working out, she's doing whatever-it-is for vanity. Which I guess if she's "running" with her hair down, she is more concerned with vanity. I agree, it's gross and I find it highly annoying. |

Master 1440 | Subject: RE: Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas Originally posted by faded_memories I always tuck the shirt in and agree shorts over tights for the layer effect. My feelings are it makes me comfortable and comfort improves my performance. I would never dare to tell anyone else how they should dress for anything.Jeez, I screw these up all the time. Sometimes tuck in my shirt. It just doesn't always cooperate, so occasionally I tuck. Shorts over tights. When I first got tights it was a modesty thing. Now I do it for layers. Besides, have you ever tried pulling your tights on OVER your shorts? Generally not a good look. I haven't worn a tri-suit to a 5k, but I've thought about it. Seems like headphones, iPods and GPS watches should have made it on the list in some way... |

Expert 962 | Subject: RE: Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas The USMC butt huggers (not what we called them but edited for PG audiences) for all their faults were about the most comfortable running shorts ever. It was like running naked, with support. Unfortunately a knee injury in Quantico cut my tenure with them short, but I do recall them fondly. I don't go shorts over tights. I do wear tri shorts to race/run in, but never a trisuit at a 5K, but I did see "that guy" and "that girl" once at a team relay race at the San Antonio zoo. I too am among the "Johnny Cash" running group....all black, all the time, except for race day and sometimes even then. |

Pops, tell us more about those shorts. Prerace swag from upcoming Seaweeze half marathon in Vancouver, B.C. Race is sponsored by Lululemon. Women get matching color but much shorter. Nice to get something other than the usual t-shirt. |

Master 6595 Rio Rancho, NM | Subject: RE: Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas I like the shorts over tights look. I like the swinging ponytail too (maybe because I can't grow hair that long) I've seen the tri suit at 5k and hope they are "testing" their race gear. I confess to "matchy matchy". I've gone a bit purple crazy since I got the bike with a purple stripe. My son has a theory that shorts should match the speed of the runner. i.e. shorty shorts = 5 minute mile, basketball shorts = 13 minute mile. |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas I don't think the "matchy matchy" rule holds for biking, does it? After reading this, was wondering if I was a bit too matchy this morning (everything pretty much matched, including my outfit and the bike, though not really on purpose--just what was clean) but when I showed up for a group ride, almost everyone else was in matching jerseys, shorts, and socks, some of which coordinated with the bikes. And I was the only woman, and probably the only one under 50. Go figure. |

Go figure. matching is required for cycling per the rules. a lot of cycling is fashion centered and being mismatched just makes you stand out in a not so good way among hardcore riders. i don't get the not wearing shorts over tights thing. how else am i supposed to wear them? should i just be wearing compression shorts in the summer then too? guilty of the matching thing too. was pretty bad this weekend and some cars that drove by made sure to let me know i was. |

80 naperville, Illinois | Subject: RE: Top 10 Running Fashion Faux Pas I don't mind the shorts over tights look, but then again, I also love wearing my socks with flip flops - I find naked feet gross the bare chest anything day run is kind of gross when you are hairy - I did a race last week where the guy was shirtless and had nipples pierced. was kind of nasty now the free flow hair girl - when she's all shaking her long hair and invading my space, I want to do more than put it in a hat for her - I want to BYU soccer girl her hair |
