Hallo! Today I’m answering my #1 many asked running gear question – What running shorts are you wearing? Where can I get them? and I’m touching on a few other very popular questions on running like how numerous miles a week I run and my strength training routine.
If you have a question for me – ask! Dat is waarom ik hier ben! Well, I’m here to party but I’m also here to answer your running and food questions…
In case you’re new to this lil ol’ site / blog / social media situation – I’m Monica Olivas, a red-headed Mexican on a mission to run a lot, eat a lot and talk about it a lot here and on RunEatRepeat.com. I started that site as a journal to remember my first marathon training journey – and never expected anybody to read it. Well, a few people did! and then a few much more did!! and now it’s a huge online community of people who love/hate running and love/like eating! Welkom!
Opwarmen:
– I touched the Queen Mary!! I can’t believe I’ve never run the route all the way to the boat before!! … I ran with Steve this weekend – trainer Steve from the Sole Runners.
He was on episode 72 – What to eat during a Race or long Run
I gave trainer Steve a really hard time about the ol’ bait and switch run. but it was the best and I feel really motivated to start training for a race.
– If you have questions for trainer Steve or want any specifics on his big BQ let me know and I’ll have him back on the show!
– next races… still need to register and plan but that training run really helped my confidence. I’m probably running the Lexus lace Up Races and a few others through the end of the year. use discount code RER10 to save on registration!
– I’m finally ready to move. It’s been in the back of my head films for a year and I’m going to set a date to list my place so I have a deadline to do everything I need to do.
– I kinda want to rent a beach house for a week or long weekend somewhere around SoCal… but I’ve never used Air B&B before. Is that better than kayak? other recommendations??
Now let’s talk running questions!!
My many frequently asked questions about running and eating are:
– What running shorts are those?
– What running shoes do you wear?
– how numerous miles do you run a week? (Do you do other cardio or cross-training?)
– What’s your strength training routine?
– how do I incorporate strength training into marathon training?
– What’s your favorite race distance?
– When is your next race?
And today I’m addressing that first question on running shorts. here are my favorites and some suggestions on how to find the best pair for you!
The best Running Shorts – no chafing, no thigh rub, run faster, laugh harder
One of the most common questions I get on the blog, Facebook and Instagram is… some variation of
What running shorts are those?
Where do you get those running shorts?
What shorts are you wearing to run?
So here’s a list of my favorite running shorts. These are all great options to avoid thigh chafing or as some like to call it chub rub. check out the links below for much more info on each option.
List of the best long Running Shorts:
Road Runner Recharge 6” shorts – these are too short for my preference, I typically wear the 8 inch length version.
Adidas Techfit 7” Running Shorts
Brooks green light tights 7” inch shorts
Baleaf Women’s High waist 8” Shorts
Danskin now 7″ Bike Shorts – I’ve seen these at Walmart and on Amazon. They also have a shorter pair so make sure you’re getting the appropriate length for your body.
Road Runner Recharge Compression printed 8” shorts
Road Runner sports Recharge Compression 8” shorts
Road Runner sports also has a 12” pair of shorts – Run walk Play 12inch Knee Shorts

Tips to find the best Running Shorts for You:
– look for a pair that are long enough to cover the area of your thighs that rub. I objective for shorts that have a 6”, 7” or 8” inseam.
– look at how long the leg area is from the groin – not how long they are overall. Some shorts have a high waist or are cut to sit on your hips low or high. You want to know how long the leg part will be when wearing them.
– High quality compression fabric is important. cheap or thin fabric is much more likely to ride up / not stay in place. and the wrong fabric will not be flattering (read as: if you are self conscious about your butt and thighs jiggling – you want quality compression fabric). look for a pair of shorts that is a combination of Spandex and Polyester or Nylon. The same fabric guidelines apply to capris and leggings.
– They’re expected to be tight. If you’re used to running in loose runningshorts with the built in chonies underwear– compression type shorts might feel revealing or weird. but if you try to get them loose they’ll relocation around and that’s often how chafing starts!
– betaal er voor. some of my favorite running shorts are much more expensive than the workout shorts I can get at Target or wherever. but I’m searching for shorts that are long enough to not ride up, high quality compression fabric – and those things are not easy to find. So, I’d rather pay for much more expensive running shorts and delight in my run instead of pull at them the whole run or feel self conscious. and in my experience running shorts like the ones discussed last a long time (and I’m running in them a lot!).

Awards:
1. Puffy essential chain – best now I have a fluffy pink heart that I got at the dollar Store. It’s so ideal for finding my keys rapidly in the black hole that is my purse. also – the essential ring part is a clip so I don’t have to squeeze my essential back on the ring when I drive somewhere to go run. I suggest everyone that has to remove their essential from the essential ring often look into a essential ring with a clip!
2. Cereal with granola in it. I love granola but it’s so calorie dense! So I really dig cereal that has granola clusters to help balance it out.
3. Kind strangers.
