Possible to chafe between your butt cheeks while running?

It's called a shart. Tell him next time to pull over and use a sock. It's worth the sacrifice.

Either a shart or jock itch in his butt.

If you do not wipe, you can totally get rashed up in your butt. It is awful. The best thing to do if you are going for a long run and think you might have to shit, is take along a few baby wipes in your key pocket. They take up no space at all, and in the event that you don't need them, they can be used to clean the seat of your car after your sweaty ass gets out of the car.

I listened to Keith Brantly say the salt build up on a particularly hot marathon caused major butt cheek chafing, so he always made sure it was on his "list" for race prep.

i always apply vaseline back there on runs 2+ hrs in hot weather

Just don't shave your ass hair. Grow it thick enough to form a harrier derriere barrier. Rogaine if necessary.

It happened to me a bit on Saturday. Nothing too harsh, however.

Hey Keith Stone, if you are out running and have to take a dump, where do you go? I was running along Country Club the other day and had to duck behind the ABC store over near that gay bar. A bunch of guys were hanging out back there, and they cheered me on when I took the dump. Weird.

lol

You apply vaseline to your ass? I guess this also helps you when you go out with your boyfriends later in the night.

BOO-YEAH!!!! I betchoo didn't see that one coming. You really set yourself up for that one. OOH-YEAH, I am the funniest mofo on this board. Look how I used your words against you in an unintented sexual manner. I KICK ASS!!!!

Unintented? Are you sure?

good point. The OP is probably just looking to hook up with a fellow light in the loafers letsrunner.

Meet me at the grocery store by the vasaline at 6 tonight.

Honestly though, my question is serious. I have a hard time believing that someone can chafe between the cheeks. Do they really rub together while running?

if'n you gots a fat ass day do!

As someone else mentioned, this is the point of having hair in this particular area. If you don't shave it off, I don't know why you would have chafing problems.

I have a hard time believing

I just started doing this and it really helps in the chafe department! Thank you, Vaseline!

Except for the time I had to fertilize the creek bed next to Reynolda Rd, I have been fortunate enough to avail myself of friendly Universities, Parks, and gas stations. As far as where the gay bars are I really don't keep track of that so if a bunch of guys cheered one of my dumps I'd have to assume they were UNC grads.

This happened to me earlier this year... but then again I

was injured, stopped running for two years, ate a lot of pizza, drank a lot of beer, and put on 30 pounds. So I think it has to do with being a fatass.

A&D ointment, like you use on infants, works wonders. Dropping weight does, too.

You can definitely chafe between the buns, man. It doesn't happen to me on long runs, but I worked manual labor jobs that keep me moving around 8 hours a day and done a lot of backpacking. Certain types of underwear would cause me to chafe. And wiping does not help. On that note, don't where Patagonia underwear while backpacking.
