Why HS'ers wear baggy shorts and college wear real running shorts (in practice)?

doing easy runs, warm ups, long runs in ballin shorts will make one a better runner. it's just that ballin mentality that gives you an edge. it preserves the body better when u wear a t-shirt instead of a singlet and longer shorts instead of a mini skirt when running anything except a workout. putting your warm-ups, or ballin clothes on right after the w/o is key. u should only wear the mini skirt and singlet/ no shirt during the time of a workout. look what steve nash does, he knows what he's doing, sweats go back on when he's on the bench, towel draped over so he doesnt get cold. the little things count. the ballin mentality is key, u may think it's bullshit, but it's hard to ignore the people ridin shotgun in their cars yelling 'fag'. yeah, who cares what they think about mini skirts, f*** their comments, but it's the maddest and the hungriest of the ballers who end up at the top of the game, just ask Kenny B 26:17 and Jay Z. now I know some runners want to wear the mini skirts, it is less restrictive, and they want to wear flats or spikes in workouts. however, when u put on a pair of spikes and spandex or short shorts on a rare occasion that is a race day only, u will be more confident than your opponents because u will feel way less restricted than normal, plus ur a baller, so that gives u more of an advantage.

For the last time it's couldN'T care less.

I was dating a girl

She was a 5:05miler, fairly legit.

I said, "Of course I wear split shorts, 2.5 inseam or less."

She said, "eeeew, that's weird, none of the guys on my team wore those."

because you went to a f***ing D3 school, bitch.

Yes, I choose splits over the girl.

Damn this poster is mentioning "ballin." Didn't we get enough of that word with all the Ruben Sanca and D2 trolling over the past month? Same mystery troll?

excellent decision.

i wear 3 inch inseams. i would never think to wear anything else....honestly people who run in basketball shorts or any other shorts that arent running shorts just look retarded.

At the beginning of track season, most of the new high school kids on my team wear longer shorts. As the season progresses.....they all start to wear shorter shorts. Or they wear short tights under their shorts. But no one ever wears basketball shorts.....as soon as they get down on the ground to stretch or whatever, and stick their legs up in the air, the shorts slide up.

I think that hs kids are just a bit insecure, they are, after all...14-18 years old....so they are not that confident. In college you wear what you have, or what your team provides....

I wish that the skinny scrawny guys would at least put on their shirts and not wear such short shorts...it is an appallling sight...
