What’s with all of the half tights in the Chicago marathon? A lot of the elites were wearing them as opposed to recent years.

NOP has been doing that since Galen started marathoning. And Kipchoge has been doing that since breaking 2.
That has become the normal. Kipchoge wears them, too.
That's all kenyans wear in training.
Makes sense. keeps the upper legs and crotch warm in the cold, and keeps them cool in the heat.
Splits are not going to be totally phased out, but runners have graduated from them.
Plus my half tights have stretch pockets on the side. Great for gels for marathon/LRs or money/phone if you need it.
less chafing
Would a random 19:00 5k hobby jogger benefit? I've not tried them before
