Runners: Looking for Solutions?

Question

Whenever I go running, the skin in the gracilis muscle area of my legs rub together quite a bit which then in turn affect other areas nearby. I lift heavy so my legs are bigger than a typical runners' legs would be. How do I prevent my skin from getting so tender?

Answer 1

Compression shorts are a decent solution.

You can also lube up with vaseline and put it on the contact spots.  That will save you a lot of chafing down the road (haha!)

Answer 2

My husband wears under armour shorts (tight) underneath his runners shorts and then puts baby powder on as well.

Answer 3

use regular deoderant on the part of your legs where the rubbing takes place it will help out

Answer 4

Wear compression shorts under your gym shorts...I had this problem too and it's much better now. They don't ride up and they don't chaffe.
