Ok so this may seem an odd question but how many of you wear proper sport running knickers vs uh just the running pants bs something else? Got some new running leggings – Nike- same as I usually wear but last 2 races I’ve ended up with some rather sore areas…..now, not sure if that’s just because I’m working harder than ever before and sweating more, or whether these running pants are maybe not as good as my other lot. So, just wondered what most of you women do to avoid the ole chafe problem!

Well I bought a pair if Nike nicks and have worn them on 3 runs-one of which was 2 hours. All seems fine although not sure whether they will stand the test for over 4.5 hours! Tried running without and maybe it was the particular running tights I wore as there was some chaffing….. So, I think for mats I’ll give the Nike pants a go and hope for the best!
