What do you people in other countries do when it's incredibly hot or humid? Like over 30 or 35 C ? I feel like I would overheat wearing a shirt. Particularly the humidity. Here in the midwest it gets miserable with the humidity.
I'm running right now in Valencia. Often 32-33 with humidity over 70%. It's cooler with a shirt on than off. It absorbs sweat and keeps you cool while blocking the sun.
I stopped running shirtless when I turned two years old. Running outdoors shirtless when you are above the age of an infant is absolutely ridiculous. PUT A SHIRT ON HIPPY!!!!!
My nipples were so chaffed the other day I had to ditch the shirt. Then again who really cares if someone sees you shirtless. Chances are you don’t know the person anyways.
I was 42. I just got a job teaching at a school in my hometown and I was running shirtless as I often did and some students saw me. It was all over school the next day- thank God there was no social media back then.
Now, I was told that I COULD run shirtless by a woman I was dating (she's 25 years younger than I am) but my view is:
At a certain age there are two reactions:
1. Ewwww old man put on a shirt.
or
2. Look at that old man trying to show off his body.
So, I wear a shirt.
By the way- for all the down votes- this is a true story. There are guys my age who go shirtless. Some should and some shouldn't. It's up to the individual to be comfortable.
Bro you dated a 17year old female while you were 42, that’s wild and illegal 😳
Age 74 here and run shirtless as my nipples don't like any runs much over 3 miles. I have a poochy stomach but I don't see many people as ran 4.7 miles this morning and only encountered 4 cars. I have run some half marathons without a shirt but I ran 4 last year and did wear a shirt and my nipples were bloody at the end. The temp at the start of all of them was around 50 degrees. I have a half this Saturday and temp may be near 70 degrees. I may not wear a shirt. I am fat and old and no one really cares and I don't either as so happy to be able to run at this age.
44...Gainesville, FL. I rarely wear a shirt, but it's typically 85% humidity year round and a shirt is completely soaked in the first 20 minutes so it's pointless!
