I used to be one of those people who thought that running or biking in skin tight shorts was ... well, I don't know. Strange. Awkward looking. Surely uncomfortable. I thought spending high amounts on specific "running" clothes was ridiculous. Not any more.
I've learned that loose clothes that are not specifically made for exercise have seams in them. Seams you would never notice while just wearing said clothes. But go run for a while and you'll discover just exactly where those seams are, after they rub against the same spots on your body repeatedly for the entire time. I'm not yet running for long periods of time and I noticed the other day that the seam in my shirt had created an irritated spot. So now I get it. I understand the reason for tighter fitting running clothes, or loose ones without seams. I may now need to go buy some!
