People all over the planet are starting to realize how significant it is to get enough exercise, and many of them are starting to exercise regularly. They’re realizing that regular exercise can not only boost your lifespan, but it can also make you look and feel better.
Jogging and cycling are two of the most common types of exercise worldwide. They’re both simple to do, are fun, and serve as a good way to meet people.
They also complement each other well. Bicycling can serve as an low-cost means of transportation, while giving your joints a break from the pounding they endure from jogging. But bicycling in wet or snowy weather can be miserable or even dangerous, so you can substitute jogging for bicycling at those times. And it’s nice to have a change of pace by alternating the two.
As you may know, wearing cycling and running tights (inner tubes) can not only improve your performance but can make you a whole lot more comfortable while you exercise.
Wearing tights can give extra oxygen to your muscles, by keeping those muscles warm. This process can also help your body recover from injuries, as well as helping you to avoid injuries in the first place. And since tights are streamlined, they minimize your wind drag, providing you with a competitive advantage in races.
Wearing cycling and running tights also reduces the chafing you get when you wear regular clothing while you’re cycling or running. Tights also help keep you dry and comfortable while you’re cycling or jogging, because they breathe and wick dampness away from you; this keeps you feeling cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold weather. Cycling tights normally also are padded, providing your backside with a more comfortable ride in the saddle.
In order to save money on the number of tights they need, some people get to get combo tights that work for both running and bicycling. This can prove problematic in certain cases, especially for people who wear a lot of padding in their cycling tights.
If you run in tights that have heavy pads, you’ll look and feel odd. One solution is to buy long combo tights that will fit over your padded cycling shorts and yet be elastic enough to still fit fairly snugly for running. And if you don’t plan to ride on long bike tours, you might not need much or any padding, so a combo pair of tights might work fine for you.
But if possible, you should try your tights on before you acquire them, and test them in both a squatting position, mimicking a bicycling stance, and while jogging in place. Because cycling and running tights should fit a little differently, getting a combo pair of tights that works comfortably for both can be a bit tricky.
Because tights come in various lengths, you’ll need to determine what lengths you prefer for running and cycling before you can decide whether to get combo tights(bike rack for cars) or separate tights for running and cycling. For example, you might not want full-length tights for cycling, even in the winter, because they can get caught on your pedals. If you plan to run outside in winter but don’t plan to ride in the winter, you might want to obtain longer and thicker tights for running than for cycling.
