One of the comments:

"why they play in pampers?"

I'm getting fat and slow, and I need to take breaks. But I still have that running urge in me. Sometimes I'll do hill sprints. And then when I'm really tired, I'll just keep going. But after that I have to take a 2 minute walk break.

I'm pretty certain that if I don't have earphones on, I won't look like a "hobby jogger" to the crowd. It won't look like I'm exercising if I don't have music with me.

If I didn't have earphones on me, I'd just be a guy walking in my suburban town in split shorts.

Shorter the shorts higher the testosterone.

Longer the shorts lower the testosterone.

It's acceptable if you have weights in your hands. That way everybody knows you are a serious worker outer.

I'm getting the feel that most of the comments here are sarcastic.

I know for girls they can wear split shorts and walk in them anywhere they want. But if you're a guy and you're in split shorts, you're allowed to be in them if you're fast, or you're intense in your workouts.

Yes can wear them anywhere. Guys not so much unless you're on the way to the gay bar.

re: No Splits For Me

Been having a similar debate. Coming back from injury and starting with 30min of walk/run. Felt awkward about it for a while but so far the "Fvck it" mentality has worked out just fine and been much cheaper than buying new shorts. Haven't had any comments but - not 'running' in very populated areas.

My advice, get on with it. If people wanna be dicks - don't hang out with them.
