    Just run in the tights. man up and be confident in yourself and your body.

    Skins, not tights... Now I am all for running in tights but, not a base layer ;)

    Wear a pair of long compression socks and stick your water bottle down the front of your shorts to complete the triathlete look ;)

    I was imagining budgie smugglers, so I was quite relieved when I saw what you meant. I think they are fine. no cold breezes getting in there anyway!

    SKins and togs worked out fine in the end, no arrests made.

    Glad to hear this is normal behavior, was worried there for a sec.

    Admittedly I usually only do it after dark.

    The speedo and tights combo could be a superman thing going on, just need the cape to complete the look:)
