Shirtless running...

Maybe it's just me, but the concept of traveling miles away from my home on foot enrobed in nothing but a pair of short shorts seems somewhat bizarre. I appreciate that you're comfortable with your body, but as soon as the shirtless runner stops running, the odds turn rather sharply in favor of being taken for a wandering crack head rather than a health enthusiast.

Said runners are more than likely the same guys giving birth in the gym.

Comfortable with body != showing off body. Personally, I don't want to put sunscreen on my entire torso to go running.

I've given birth in a gym. It was rather scary and painful. It smelled bad so I flushed.

Topless running for a woman with smallish breasts is quite enjoyable. Topless running with a woman with LARGE breasts is borderline grotesque... no matter how enjoyable the thought may seem to my mind.

Sounds like it would be painful and uncomfortable for the woman with said LARGE breasts...

But come on, you've got to post video...

Not bad when she's holding them. But without support, imagine huge bags of distorted fat moving and contorting up and down out of sync :)

When I ran cross-country in high school, I always removed my top as soon as we entered the woods (or wherever it was that we left the eye of most of the crowd). It was more comfortable, but I did carry the top with me until the end of the run and then I put it back on.

(Edit: BTW, I am male, you sickos.)

Heh, I've done that before. On really long runs a lot of times my shirt would give me nipple burn from rubbing so much. Sunday practice on the cross country team I used to be on was 14 miles, for example. If it was too sunny I'd keep the shirt and just use band aids or vaseline underneath, though.

soaked t-shirt... no soaked t-shirt...
hmm, I don't know which I'd rather.

now, mind you... i don't often run unless during PT, which we obviously have a uniform for. And when I have run, I wear a shirt. But I see why one wouldn't wear a shirt. And, I wouldn't wear one if I didn't have this negative view towards my upper body. No flat stomach (as of yet) and while I've built up my chest, I have one of those 'dented' or 'hole' chests. lol I'm partially comfortable with it and obviously don't swim with a shirt on, but I dunno... I don't try and flaunt it. :laugh:

I personally will run with my shirt off. Why? Because when it's the middle of summer and it's 90 degrees outside it's too effin' hot to run with a shirt on. Second, I rarely ever stop until I'm back at my house, I have a 5 mile loop that I'll run (I will make it shorter if it's way too hot). Not to mention I don't have a terrible farmers tan by the end of the summer. I will usually run about 3-5 times a week from spring-fall. Winter it's usually less because I have to drive to an indoor track.

Maybe because it's hot and humid, and running with a shirt on sucks in those conditions? (especially where the OP lives)

I got such the farmer's tan because I didn't run like that. Maybe I should... :p

And a lot of bouncing and such early on will mean increased sagging later in life. Curse you, gravity!
