    Getting out there is the point, there’s always people going faster/slower than you

          @Alex ran a marathon in Korea one year and I had little old ladies passing me on the hills. Definitely a humbling experience.

            Need a new pair of running shorts, the zipper finally went on the pair I've had for 15+ years and is not repairable.

            My runs are typically with the dog, so for pleasure and easy-going, just aiming to get some low intensity cardio in. My usual route to- through- and back-from- the park is 6-7.5km depending on the route taken in the park. Stopping occasionally to pick up poop, or wait for dog to realise he's fallen behind and catch up. Pocket-wise, I'd need small ones for a house-key, a few doggy poo-bags, and some motivational dog treats.

            Who's making good running shorts these days? Any recommends for my needs?

            Take the dive...

                @Nik you’ve turned my head towards this brand a few times but always talk myself into a cheaper alternative and to save that scrap for IH. I suffer from nipple chaffing on longer runs (sounds funny but very unpleasant amidst a run) and strongly considering one of their tops 🤔

                  @flannel-slut man that is definitely a fabric texture thing. I had one running shirt that was a little rough and did a race and I had no idea what I was feeling. Nips got rubbed raw and I threw that shirt out.

                    @Nik Dayum! If I was running ultras like you I think I could justify those. Still, it has been good to compare those shorts and figure out the little details that I should be looking out for in an alternative. Thanks!

                      @flannel-slut band aids or KT tape do wonders. just need to take them off while you're still sweating and less adhesive

                        I primarily run in Under Armour and Patagonia. I tried Tracksmith and can not recommend their clothing as I find it overpriced with average material used at best.

                          @marco23d %100 this. I have some solid athletic wear but even the more breathable garments I own eventually causes nip friction once I sweat the shirt out enough.

                            What I buy now is 2-in-one shorts that have a stretch tight underneath and a loose short outside. With large pockets for the phone in the stretch part (phone sitting tight). Many companies make those...

                              I have fair amount of satisfy running gear and have run 1000s of road km in them all year round.

                              The cloudmerino tops are really good for all temperatures. Very comfortable and light but they are thin and delicate.

                              I have their Rippy shorts, techsilk shorts and space-o shorts. I prefer the space-o shorts because the brief liner works best for me. The shorts liner is non compressive and isn’t supportive. They don’t even grip around my thighs (I don’t have skinny runners legs) so I cut them to above the shell because they look a bit silly loose around my thighs.

                              The AuraLite tees are simple polyester tops, nothing particularly special about them. The cut is boxy and loose which I find nice and airy in hot weather. I often wait for sales to pick the odd one up.

                              The top that I have been impressed with is the River shirt. It’s great for all weather and different types of runs. Button up during warm ups, interval rests/recoveries and cool downs then unbutton as needed when I get hotter. Easy to layer up or wear on its own. Also, it’s quite anti-running looking and passengers on London buses look surprised when their bus can’t quite keep up with some random bloke running around in a casual shirt.

                              Right now, my gear picks would be the river shirt, cloudmerino tees and 2.5in space-o shorts.

                                @C64 I agree on the merino. Great fabric. Mine did rip though. But satisfy sent me a replacement of their new version that has some cordura woven in, let’s see how long it lasts.
                                And here’s the poorly done diy repair of the old cloud merino

                                  @Nik gutted for you that the cloudmerino top ripped up like that. I must admit that I do baby them and I don’t do trails so no unsuspecting thorns to catch or hydration vests to rub against for hours. Hopefully, the new cordura mix will beef up the durability as they are a spendy bit of kit.

                                    @C64 Yeah I do not baby it. I didn't mind the holes too much, I have bought shirts from Satisfy with holes... but that rip was huge. Pretty cool that they offered a replacement. I've found their customer service and warranty to be pretty great. Will be doing a group run from their Paris headquarters on Saturday morning.

                                          After a long rainy season kept me from running, went out this afternoon and just went for it. Doing a 10k under an hour has been one of my top goals since I started. Finally happened. I can certainly attest do doing more cardio in the gym and focusing on legs that really gave me the push to go faster and endure longer. Now to try and do this once a week 😆😆😆 small steps. I’m proud of myself for getting here though!!
