Hilljackoutlaw “Elite runner”

I had a college teammate who did that every day it was under about 45 degrees. He’d get the circle bandaids and called them “nipple darts.”
Not gonna lie - the folks that told me they band aided thier nipples were tougher than me. I’d have just started walking. I’m not someone that cares much about running. I cramped up once doing a long mtn train run and an attractive woman stopped to give me water and ibuprofen- it was the best part of that whole run. 🙂
 
I’ve got runner friends that have put band-aids on their nipples to prevent the painful “chaffing”. 😂
I was told by several before my marathon this was a necessity. Apparently those bald chested ninnies don't realize that with this much nipple hair my shirt hasn't touched my nips in decades.
 
Back in the day guys would wear women's panty hose to keep from chafing while hiking. At least they said that was why they wore them.
This doesn’t have anything to do with running, but your post reminded me about a nascar racer. I think it was Wally Dallenbach used to wear his wife’s underwear each race…..

He talked about it openly during interviews….
Kinda odd
 
In the tone of an addict introducing himself to a recovery group....
From 2007-2020 I had a running addiction that was fueled in part by your buddy Cam. As a "husky" child of Gen X I never much appreciated aerobic activity but begrudgingly found the weight room and sprints while playing high school football. In 2005 I found myself facing middle age weight gain and Cam's writing about physical and mental toughness made me seek out a trainer and that eventually resulted in me signing up for a marathon training program with Team in Training. It involved an 18 week training period where I solicited my friends, family, coworkers and vendors to donate to the cause to pay my way to Alaska to run the Mayors Marathon. The next summer I continued down the path to destruction and ran the San Diego Marathon.

That led to trail running from 2009-2019 where i finished a couple 50k trail races, and did a few half marathon trail races quarterly each year. I started training with a couple of the top female trail runners including a couple Western States Finishers. It contributed in part to my marriage ending in 2015, and was what I used to cope with it. I became involved with a running store employee at my lowest point and when she was forced out of the industry by Covid and a degenerating hip, I broke my addiction to technical sportswear and Electrolyte tablets and rejoined polite society as a couch potato.

Now I'm recovering from a broken ankle and I feel like I'm being drawn to begin a couch to 5k program, so I'm here at this meeting so I don't break and relapse....
 
I know a few folks that have done the fall Barkley race. They have all done multiple 50 to 100 mile races and were all pulled due to missing the aid station cutoffs at Barkley. They say it's every bit as bad as it's made out to be.
 
Covering your nipples is only half as silly as signing up for a jogging event in September.
Rubbing is real. I never reached Bandaid stage but used the anti chaffing cream on runs longer than 10 miles. Inside my thighs, armpits and nipples. Otherwise, I had rug burns like a $20 whore.
