Cyclists with a "Running" Problem

[Stretch]

David Gatebe will agree, in fact the R700 would be overspending in his case! 

yip...case in point

[Lexx]

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Mr Price must think we are all a bunch of poepols for paying R2000+ for Running shoes.

They have shown that a comrades winner is running in their Expensive R700. So i guess, those shoes cant be that bad...

I enjoyed this, Friday humor

Hey guys 

 

Quick random question, what do you guys do to stop (or sooth) your nipples from chaffing during a long run?

Take your top off.

vasoline

[ScottCM]

i run with a tight vest, similar to what you would cycle in. only downfall is that it sits slightly higher on my waste than i would like. BUT longest event i have done in it is a HM. Still use vasoline like stretch says though.

duct tape...

[Mr Winter]

Take your top off.  

 

Maybe closer to the comrades, at the moment it would be a very scary site 

[Mr Winter]

Thanks guys, I've used insulation tape before and that actually worked pretty well but I will give the vasoline a try as well. 

[Stretch]

all that said...girls dont suffer from chaffed nipples...so you could also find yourself an a cup sports bra as an alternative

just be aware that after a while you get stains...you also don't have to put lots on so this eliminates the stains and the size...except for comrades day...then you rub vasoline in every conceivable crevice.

 

there are water based alternatives to vasoline that you will find at a speciality shop that will likely cost you an arm and a leg

[SeaBee]

I'm cheapskate... and furthest I've gone is marathon distance. I simply use a bit of that 3M(?) white porous tape.

Girls still chafe everywhere else with a bra, Vasoline works for me.

[Pulse]

Normal padded, breathable band-aid plaster on the nipples... I don't chafe anywhere else.

[Jackes]

I think it's safe to say that the frustrating period in my new Brooks Ghost 9's are now over.  There was a piece of sticking on the inside of my foot behind the big toe that chaffed me just whenever it chooses and then the next time not soo much.

 

So I eliminated and changed all the variables that I had on those days, with and without vaseline, thinest to thickest of thin socks.  Now the only thing that remains is whenever I run on the dreadmill it happens.  Out on the road, even with the thickest socks without any vaseline or nothing funny, 100%.    Weird, but oh so happy days....
