Instagram must be listening. I got an ad for strydrunning that seems to do this and allows you measure wattage/power

Sprints. Focus on form.
Built in wind detection. FFS sake!
If youāre not assessing youāre guessing.
Run out into the wind, run back with the wind on your back. Youāre only causing hardship doing it the other way around
Power measurement is where itās at.
@Tassotti. Are lads seriously training without measuring their wattage.
new regime started today, all bread gone and porridge nowadays for brekkie.

Essential.
I got a pair last autumn and I could never imagine myself running without them now.
They make going out for a run in Winter so much easier.

Youād be better served with a upper base layer than running tights.
If less than elite there is a real risk of looking like a bit of a kant. Like a fat lad in Lycra on a bike.

Iāve never ran in them. Shorts all year round for me. Ran the last few Sundays in snow showers with the shorts on and was plenty warm.

I wear them, compression ones. My legs never seem as sore after.

If itās warm I donāt.

+1 Iāve never used them and maybe they would be a gamechanger, but I canāt imagine needing them. Never feel the cold on my legs.
I have two pairs that are gathering dust, shorts all year round for me, but i do think that some people feel the cold way worse than others, Iād never be cold out on a run even at below zero except for my hands which would be freezing
But generally we donāt get extreme cold in Ireland, though the weather thread might be worth checking out.
Whatās a daycent pair? ā¦ I get awful chaffing upper thigh area that aināt good with psoriasis.
Yay, and no togs on over them. Be comfortable in your own skinā¦

Menās Running Underwear | Runderwearā¢
You need proper underwear rather than tights if you have chafing on your thigh, if itās below the underwear line then youd want to be putting some anti chafe gel on, that sounds shit to be honest
