Running in a speedo

[snakestone91]

Now that Spring is finally arrivin, I'm thinkin about trainin on the beach again.
Any guys from the UK up for some beach runnin in a speedo?

Kind of premature to claim Spring is here, at least where I live. :)

Agree that a ways to go to Spring, but it's still okay to think about running on the beach in your swim briefs or whatever. Afterall, it's gotta be warm somewhere.....:)

There are no beaches here to run on but we do have lots of sand. Living in the Southwest U.S. Desert affords us lots of sand. Happily we are also getting spring weather. Today it is estimated to be 78F (about 26C). No plans to run, but will slip into my speedos for a dip in the pool this afternoon. I think of this is late winter/early spring weather. Somehow, I can't imagine February at the beach in the U.K. great speedo weather. My visits to the UK this time of year have been filled with heavy coats only indoor pools. If you have the constitution for a run on the beach this time of year, more power to you!

It is funny, but up here in Maine, I've swam some late summer mornings when the air was in the low 40's and the lake in the middle 60's. The fog off the lake was eerie, but the swim was great. Yes, the run to the lake was cold, and getting out sucked... but the water was warm, in relative terms. And the activity after to warm me up was fun... :D

LOL - if Dave is from AZ a current like-for-like comparison with UK beach conditions is certainly problematic........I might agree to the speedos but under a heavy fleece tracksuit !

We are running here along Lake Champlain in tights. Some time with shorts over them because your goods can get frosty if you just have the thickness of the tights. No bulges to speak of -mostly so shrunk up so you see kind of a knot (bunch) poking out like happens in cold water under jammers which by the way are much more revealing than speedos when your nuts and dick are pulled up to protect them from the cold.

:eek: How about a swim in Singapore instead ?

Well, whatever the weather might be doin wherever ya'll are,
I've managed my first beach run of the year already.
Didn't think it would happen quite this soon tho!
Always take a speedo with me when I head to the beach just in case.
So mild + warm in the sun at 9 am this mornin that I just went for it. Awesome.
Turned considerably cooler around midday, so headed back, but done already!

wow snakestone... sounds like a real treat. Good for you. You just gave me a bigger case of Spring fever.

Cheers mate, thx 4 the heads up!
Best bit was high-fivin with another runner headin in the opposite direction -
That's a first 4 me + I'm readin it as open approval of my choice of kit..........

[Byron]

;) Did you also approve of his choice ?

[snakestone91]

Ha! Not really for me to say, is it......

He was dressed fairly conventionally in mid thigh runnin shorts.
I like to post about these positive reactions, coz I quite often get them -
Much more than negative, anyway, so I want all the other guys here to know that

I think people often take ya more seriously as a proper athlete in a speedo -
I certainly feel like one + am more likely to push myself that much harder.
Also, any of ya guys that have run in a speedo know how great it feels -
In fact, I never feel properly dressed for a serious run till I'm wearin one!

It's also really cool when total strangers come out with stuff like -
Nice one dude! - Go for it! - Good on ya, lad! - Well done mate!
Feels so awesome to rock a speedo like this - a real sense of freedom!

Where are you these days?
Two guys here would agree with you:
