I want to purchase a nice Christmas pair of 1" split shorts from Boa. Not sure why, but they all just look so cool! They only problem is that I don't know when I would wear them.
Tempos?
Intervals?
Fartleks?
Time trials?
I don't think I would be allowed to wear some split shorts at a meet (we have a uniform); so I am not sure if this would be a good idea. They are around 30-40 dollars in price FYI.
Also, would I get any hate for purchasing these shorts?
Thanks-EGF
Under your gym shorts or running pants on every run.
Wear them whenever you want bro. I wear splits whenever the weather allows.
Regarding hate, maybe. If I recall you are from CA, which is pretty liberal but you still might get a little heckling. In the rural area I live in, I get constant stares and gross looks and sometimes even yell slurs at me.

Thanks, yeah from CA.
Wear them to family events, bars, and first dates to show off those sweet legs.

This is the correct answer. Bonus points for shaving the legs so you look extra ripped.
I wore a pair of paisley New Balance split shorts to a wedding a few weeks ago.
Wear them for every run you do. Nothing is more cringe than seeing someone run workouts in long basketball shorts or wear tights under their split shorts during races.
You might get catcalled a few times, but honestly, it doesn't really matter.

Tempo- split shorts
Intervals- 3/4 tights for 3k pace or faster.
Intervals- split shorts for 5k pace or slower
Fartleks- split shorts on trails, 3/4 tights on roads
Time trials- 3/4 tights
Alright, thanks! I am wondering should I get some with cats on them or a solid color shorts?
Church, Graduation, first dates, Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas, and Funerals.
If you're from California, get the Blue Lives Matter flag BOA shorts. They'll love those ones. Or the rainbow ones. They will actually love those in California.
I always wear split shorts. By far the most comfortable running shorts.

Yeah. I've been running is split shorts almost since they came out in the Seventies. What is the issue here?
Threshold pace requires 4” split shorts.

First the exhibitionist at the track, now you?!?!
Wouldn't your dong and cheeks be exposed? 1 inch inseam? That's like wearing a skirt... Why do you need slits on your shorts? This is so perverted.

Same. Been wearing split shorts on every run since the mid 90s. Best, most comfortable option for running.
Been gawked at plenty of times, esp when shirtless in the summer. But who cares? People would gawk at gymnasts and swimmers too, but they aren't out practicing their sport in public.

I can't ever recall being gawked at. I'd guess having no shirt might have drawn the gawks? Is that the issue?
Where are you from? I can’t count on two hands the times I have had sh*t said to me based on the shorts I wear. They love throwing the f*g slur at me from their dirt encrusted Chevy 4x4 window while flying their “Don’t tread on me” flag.
