I remember when I first started running in basketball and cargo shorts. The extra fabric was always a burden and I remember it forced me to lift my knees up higher when I ran.
Do you think going back to our beginner days of running where we wore constricting shorts would actually help us with our knee drive and strides?
Unless you are a sprinter, I doubt lifting your knees higher improves your running efficiency.
Nah, I run with the same form either way, it is just that I'm more comfortable and out in better miles when running commando in short shorts.

I know that Split shorts give more realized freedom,but I think I'm going to try again to run in cargo shorts and see what it does to my form.
After all I did run in cargo shorts/swim trunks for 7 months. I cringe.

I've thought about buying a 20kg vest and running with it. There are disastrous effects like injuries or an improper running form due to the added stress of compensating for 20kg, but I've always wondered what if.
I do know that ankle weights will change our running form because our body has to compensate in some way for pulling 8 more pounds.
Even wrist weights might change how our arms pump and that might be an added benefit to correct for body imbalances and our posture as long as we make a conscious effort in preserving our posture.
