chafing...

It is roasting in Italy right now so longer shorts/trousers are not an option. Is it to vaseline we turn in times of need? Also, how to ladies manage to run whole marathons or even train more than 10k at a time without taking a pee? What do you do?

icelandic trigirl Jun 2013 1:34pm, 18 Jun 2013 196 posts	0 icelandic trigirl portaloos. phew! Training is really a problem in Italy because you can't use a loo unless you buy a coffee or something to drink, hence even more need to pee! (No discreet bushes either on the packed riviera.) I'll look out for the bodyglide.

" You deserve thigh rash for a humblebrag like that And the peeing thing ... either take advantage of public loos on training runs or choose routes where there'll be a friendly bush to duck behind. In races, all I can suggest is run fast enough and don't drink too much
