Pretty self explanatory

A good pair of split shorts is the way to go. They are the modern-day loin cloth, primal and designed without unnessisary add-ons. They are the definition of practicality a runner can be proud of.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. The correct answer is clearly half rights. HSE couldn't beat carmel all year, then they wear half tights in race and they do it. Would you rather see girls with shorts or the tights? Obviously the tights. And without any uneccersary add ons!? What? You defiantly do not wear any add ons when you wear half tights, however some wear compression shorts when they wear shorts. Half tights are also warmer on the cold days, as they keep your legs warm, yet they are not any hotter on hot days. Half tights are also more aerodynamic, providing faster times. Half tights also look so more fly. The girls defiantly love to see our butts in them and do not forget about the free preview in the front that there getting. As you can tell this is a touchy subject and I thought I got my point across. With that being said, I think some people defiantly do not have the body to fill them, however others do. A super scrawny, absolutely no butt, guy will look better in shorts. If you do not have tan thighs then that is only another reason for half tights. Additionally, I run in shorts smes because I have to, unfortunately I do not only have half tights. So you should wear half tights unless your body is not cut out for them, you are really self conscious about your "small" problem in the front of the half tights, or you enjoy looking tacky. This again goes back to the being fly post, but half tights look soo much better. I do understand that the feeling of them is opinionated so it varies, but half tights are the way. Also, why arnt volleyball shorts an option?? Everyones got there. Hidden pleasure.

Only the few, the proud, the speedy can wear half tights.

Honestly I love wearing half tights when it comes to speed workouts but when it comes to a good ol fashion maintenance run shortys are the way to go.

I would never wear half tights for something longer than 4 or 5 miles. They may look better but a good pair of short shorts totally trump in comfort.

Very good insights. Yes, half tights are the way to go for workouts and short shorts on the recover runs. You are 100% correct and im embarrassed I forgot to include that. With, of course, long short Wednesday. This is like a longer running short day. It helps get through the week, and most of us have that longer pair of running shorts so we still get use out of the not so short shirts. But, half tights are best for workout days defiantly.

Half Tights in the season, short shorts in the post-season.

That statement pretty much goes along with hard days and off days. But, half tights are much warmer then shorts for off season weather like today, where full tights are not needed yet.
