Am I the only one in this thread who wears basketball shorts?
I'm not a serious runner anymore, just a jogger. I might as well look like one. All my running shorts wore out and I didn't want to buy more when I'm not a serious runner. So now it's boxer briefs with basketball shorts.
I am honestly more comfortable than I ever was in running shorts. The liners were just never supportive enough, and some of them chafed me randomly, so I was constantly dealing with that. Now I no longer chafe and my boxer briefs are more supportive. Plus I don't have to worry about having another article of clothing. I wear the same clothes to the gym, on a bike, while hiking, etc.
I wish I had always worn basketball shorts. In college, we used to mock runners who wore them, thinking it was some sort of modesty issue. But now I realize that was stupid, for some people, they're just more comfortable.
