I'm wondering what most people are wearing for running shorts? I am training for my first marathon. I recently lost some weight so all of my clothes are too big and I need to buy new shorts. And maybe I'm not wearing the most optimal materials or gear to get the most out of my training either.
What type of materials? Long or short? Pockets?
Right now I wear basketball shorts. They hit my knees and feel a little too long. But I'm a little self-conscious and modest about my white and hairy legs and I don't like to bare a lot of skin. I also wear 9" boxer briefs (which I am open to swapping out for more running-related under garments if needed).
help please...
1. nothing skin tight
2. no banana hammocks
3. under $50
4. I'm a sweat machine
