Being a hobbyjogger is bad, but what's worse is looking faster than you are.

Here are the time requirements for items of clothing:

Singlet: Sub 19 5k

Short Shorts: Sub 21 5k

Compression socks: Nope, back on the soccer pitch

Running Sunglasses: Sub 17 5k

I think short shorts should require a faster time than singlets.

Sunglasses? Everybody wears sunglasses if they are outside, regardless of what they are doing or how fast they run.

People dress like golfers to watch a golf tournament. People take baseball gloves to watch baseball games. People wear jerseys to watch football games.

So I have no problem with people dressing like runners when they're actually running.

You can only wear a singlet with split shorts and you can wear split shorts with a regular shirt. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES YOU SHALL WEAR A SINGLET WITH 4" SHORTS OR LONGER

Why is being a hobby jogger bad?

Not the running sunglasses that make you look like some superhero

I don't agree. Wrap around shades block the glare, are light, and stay in place. Why use inferior products? Fashion is not a good enough reason not to wear them.

I'd like to know that, too. According to the OP, the only people who should run are scholarship athletes and those earning their living through prize money?

I'm a hobby jogger because I don't earn my living through running. Are you saying I should stop running? Am I allowed to do any other form of exercise, or am I just supposed to sit on the couch and get fat?

Please advise. I can't wait to start living my life according to your dictates.

Socks must be low cut or ankle height at the most.

If it's cold enough for tights wear tights alone. Tights with shorts over them are for basketball bros only. Have pride in your moose knuckle.

Don't wear tights until you're wearing at least a medium weight long sleeve top

Don't wear a medium weight long sleeve top until you're wearing gloves

Don't wear gloves if you're wearing a singlet (race day exception)

Don't wear arm warmers at all (race day exception)

Why not wear whatever you want?

You can only wear buns if you're a girl.

wear what you want, run when and where you want.

none of the keyboard kowards will dare say anything to you on the track, trail, or road.

itÅ› all good.

I just wear basketball shorts and a hanes t-shirt with maybe a plain sweater thrown over the top if it's night and cooler.

Give my boys some room to breath.. that whole tight outfit runner wardrobe isn't for me personally.

Many of the GOAT performances were set wearing high-cut socks with Adidas-style stripes on them.

If you are fast, wear stripes.

What's the fastest I can be and still wear shorts over tights?

Maximum 5k time to pull off a truckers hat? $0.99 sunglasses?

Can sub 2:40 Marathoners wear hydration gear?

Any rules for racing shirtless? HRM chest straps? Wearing 2 watches?
