I finally feel like I'm a real runner, guys. Tights are so much better than pants. The only downside is that I look like even more of a runner dweeb.

One question: Did you have shorts over the thights?
?
I swear tights help you recover better and prevent injury. Especially in cold rain.
You may have seen the light, but your junk cast a shadow
Did you wear a skirt over your leggings so nobody could see your junk and you could still identify as a chick?

You really had no business posting on this forum at all before now. I don't know a single even semi-serious runner who runs in pants over tights.
it all makes sense now. wrote:

Back in the day the real runners wouldn't be caught dead wearing womens leggings to keep their legs warm. They wore big heavy sweatpants that better prepared them to run fast marathons like 208s. Now none of the junk exposing tights wearing runners can break 210.
When I wear tights, I feel like I get all of the respect and none of the snickers, even though I regularly run through some of the bluest of the blue-collar neighborhoods.

No shorts over the tights, but I did wear boxer briefs to keep everything warm. I believe that the underlayer kept the junk from being...profiled.

Yes, I feel the same way!

I wonder about this, because I run through some rougher neighborhoods at times. But I do get as much or more respect in those neighborhoods than the yuppie ones.

That's because runners these days are more concerned about the gear and style rather than putting in the hard miles!

Naw, ain't no big thang.
Worn shorts over tights, when it was freezing and couldn't change quickly. The shorts added wind protection without taking the tights off.
That said, shorts over tights looks really dumb. Do what you gotta do.
You are not a real runner until you wear nothing at all except white tights....in the rain.

I have to on occasion - if you know what I mean. ?
I forgot to take running shorts when I went to my parents house once for a week, so I just ran in silk boxer shorts. They're not so common in brazil so I don't think anyone noticed.
Do you have any pictures of you wearing your new running tights? You should get a photo of your self on top of a mountain trail with the sun shinning down. Do a pose where your pointing to the sun. I'd like to see that picture. The captain can literally be "I have seen the light". I'd hang that on my wall.
I did forget to say that I did wear shorts over tights back in the day in high school. Tights only was too big of a leap back then.

Please leave me alone and stop posting in my threads. Or anyone else’s threads.

I got sporthill tights for Christmas and I feel the same as you. Big improvement over baggier pants, which weren't all that bad to start with.
I wear wind pants with tights over them!
