ASK FLASH is a free advice column to help you with all of your running, fitness and nutrition inquiries. To ASK FLASH — simply fill out the form at the conclusion of the column.
A few days ago, a reader sent me 5 messages asking what underwear he should wear under his track shorts. Although often overlooked, it is actually a topic very worthy of discussion and consideration … but just maybe not 5 messages … :-)
