Run bow legged. Seriously, wear synthetic clothing, seamless if possible. Been a couple decades since I ran for long distances but I used petroleum jelly. I think gold bond makes something called Runners defense? Moleskin might also work. |

Congratulations! That's a commitment, I distinctly remember my first half. You can get this on Amazon. Way less messy than vasoline. Chafing depends a lot on things like how much you sweat and your body type. Wearing non cotton clothes will help too but when its skin on skin something like body glide will help a lot. |

I'm old and never again will I do low rep strength work....too many injuries. Now it's all about hypertrophy and cosmetics. I'm all show/no go at this point.

I don't usually have trouble with chafing other than once when it was really cold and I ran a race in sweats. That was not fun afterwards. This was before I bought running tights and it's the reason I bought running tights. So I can't help you on that issue. I've been really out of shape the past few years, but I'm working my way back. I ran a 10K yesterday. I'm slowing down with age so my time wasn't thrilling (1:06:56), but it was better than I expected and I came in 2nd in my age/gender division. Granted, there were only five guys in my division, but I still came in 2nd. Being in the 60-69 age category now has really winnowed down the competition. |

Thanks, I'll look into these. I had synthetic underwear on but I think it wasn't tight enough and pulled up a bit. The chafing was a straight line and then below so maybe just something longer would help out the most.

I may need to look into running tights as well. No chafing anywhere but where i had bare skin on bare skin and it seemed to either happen as I was walking around after the race or I didn't notice when I was running. |

I've ran a few longer events including a couple 50 milers. After the first one I did I got in the shower to only then realize I had worn a raw spot into the side of my ball sack. Had no idea until the water hit it. |

My body actually feels better since switching to strength training vs hypertrophy. |

My muscles have a tendency to explode. Lifting injuries: Pec torn off the bone. Lat torn off the bone. Second smaller tear in the previously repaired pec. Soccer inuries: Torn groin that left the muscle deformed. Torn quad that left the muscle deformed. Torn hamstring that left the muscle deformed. |

Just got on here. 80 with arthritis in all joints. Still golf 4/5 days a week with help from Tramadol. Rather well I might add. I was told several years ago to forgo weight lifting. One problem is doing exercise that involve using my hands. That is out . Anyone have successful experience with other options to , at the least, keep the muscle tone I now have.

Recently torn biceps. Competed in a powerlifting meet not too long ago and missed my second and third bench and third deadlift because of it. Fortunately nothing off bone. But my left lateral triceps looks like two muscles now they way it tore. |
