It took me about a year to gain this little nugget of runner wisdom -- not before I read the whole book Once a Runner with the image of the first one in my mind. The entire book. I was confused and knew it would be really uncomfy (the wrestling singlet) but thought it was just a runner thing. Big difference, runners.
By the way, what happened to just calling it a tank top?
Personally, I like singlets for hot weather running. As long as the fabric goes up to my armpits I am okay with it. For long runs, I liberally apply body glide below the deodorant line, though, otherwise - fabric up to the armpits or not - I would experience chafing and hot spots. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, tank tops/runner singlets are good! Wrestling singlets are bad -- for running anyway.
ReplyDeleteSinglet sounds much for 'uniform' like compared to a tank top - I suppose it makes us feel a little more official. But it does sound pretty silly! Fortunately, "wife-beater" didn't make the cut ...
ReplyDeleteI've been wonderign what this is - so thank you for answering the question! I call those tank tops. :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too! I think I'm sticking to it, no matter how long I'm a runner. Team Tank Top.
DeleteI've been corrected for calling them tanks instead of singlets, but I still do it!
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious that someone went out of their way to correct you. That would only make me more likely to call it a tank.:)
Deletethis is so funny b/c I just saw that term in a book I'm currently reading and thought "WTF....is a singlet" lol
ReplyDeletenow I know....it's a tank top!
What book???! I need a new book to read.
DeleteI was also going around calling it a "run moisture wicking tanktop thing". Yeah, wtf is singlet!
ReplyDeletesinglet or tank top, I basically can't run in anything more than this outside. t-shirts are non-existent for me from about now until October. I sweat like a pig. haha
ReplyDeleteps.- we still need to go running together some time. I wish I could do the half w/ y'all in TN! I think there needs to be a fall one!
Seriously, I was just thinking of hitting up TJ Maxx because I was hot and got a giant farmer's tan from running on Saturday.
DeleteI wish you were running with us in TN too! What about the Huntsville Half for the fall (Nov. 12). Or the Montgomery Half (Oct. 1).
I agree! I hear singlet and I think wrestling. I'll never call those a singlet. It's a tank top or sleeveless shirt.
ReplyDeleteHaha!! Good to know! I think of wrestling singlets!
