    Running causing thighs to touch?

    As I have been getting outside more and mixing in barefoot running here and there, I have noticed my thighs area starting to touch, both during activity and just standing still. It's annoying and on longer runs, I get a bit of chaffing. This hasn't been an issue in the past 20-30 years of...

    Best underwear for running (men's)?

    If you do have to wear underwear under your running shorts, what do men on this forum prefer to wear under your running shorts? Or is that just not working for anyone, and running shorts with a liner is the only way to go?

    Recommendations for shorts that feel like you arent wearing any...

    Thank you for the feedback. Question about the compression shorts. Is there a difference between compression shorts and compression underwear? When i go into sporting goods stores, i cannot tell if each item is meant to be worn by itself or under something. :)

    Minimalist Shoes - a good transition?

    Hello from NC: Question

    Thank you. Is there a link to the NC chapter on this site. I may have missed it on my fist look around. Anyone know of a group that also champions light running attire (but not necessarily inappropriate ). I'm not ready for a loin cloth just yet.

    Hello from NC: Question

    thx. I tried some brand new sidewalk outside my office space. It felt very good walking but was uncomfortable running. My heel strike is the issue. Hits so hard. Made me switch to the upper foot only which isn't good form i guess. Ideas and advice?
