Iv just completed week 4 and I'm loving it. However during week 4 I got quite sweaty in the hot weather. Anyway let's just get to the question do I wear knickers with my rrunning pants?? My hubby who's a keen cyclist said he doesn't and it might help? I what do others for and what's the advantages? Thanks guys x

It depends on the length of the run....short run I would say none, but get some capris with no line...longer run, I would say ones with a firm gusset or you might get sore..

I wear them under my 3/4 length - but I wear all cotton - none of that nasty manmade stuff. and a sleeveless top helps to keep me cool. I'm still a sweaty mess by the end, mind! ;-)

Titter! I'm a bit of a thong girl, before everyone says "yuk!" normal knicks kinda turn into thongs when I wear them anyway, due to the shape of my behind!

Same, on both counts!!

Make sure you wear black so you don't get those sweaty 'under buttock' marks ! As long as you're continent and have flat seamed shorts/capris/whatever, no knickers is fine !

Have not tried going without....I have the same problem, but found that microfibre ones are better than cotton.

OMG. I always wear pants and never thought not to. A whole new concept of 'running wild & free' is entering my head .....

After asking the very same question about a year ago, I went commando and have never gone back! Two things I'd advise are 1) wear black and 2) check where the seam areas are before you buy.
