Hi everyone.
I'm tired of being a couch potato so I decided to start running. I'm training for my first race in a couple of weeks.
I'm in need of some new running apparel, especially some good shorts and shirts. It seems like I can't find any budget running apparel that is decent though. This is especially true for shorts. Why is it that every pair of shorts is above $20? Haven't found many pairs of shorts that I like (that are cheap lol). I've looked at target, dicks, sports authority, running warehouse, walmart, and road runner sports.
Am I not looking hard enough or being too picky?
Just wondering if you guys know any good places to buy this some good running apparel that is decent for cheap?
Also for shorts, I like wearing a bit longer shorts like 7"-9". However, I heard from somebody that shorter shorts are better for running since they give you more movement. He said that nobody wears 9" shorts on races. Is this true?
