I don't know if your nipples have been tortured when you are running a marathon?
I'm sure most male runners have experienced the pain of this, even if it is no less than a "torture".
Many runners reported that when they participated in the marathon for the first time, they were wearing a white vest, and at the end of the day, they were bleeding directly from their chests.
In fact, such a phenomenon occurs every year in the marathon field, and the runners who have these situations are because they have not done a strategy before the race and forget to take protective measures.
I remember that in the Qingdao Marathon before, there was a big brother who was on the hot search because of the blood stains on his chest, and when he stood at the finish line, he could see the abnormal pain through his expression.
But for the eldest brother, it seems that there is no more important thing than breaking the grades, because even if the blood is bleeding, he has to fight to the end!
This is the voice of many male runners, because in the comment area of the hot search, too many male runners have said: Even if there is pain in the chest, you must grit your teeth to the end.
Some people also joke that if a man's nipple has not bled before, it is equivalent to not running a marathon.
It seems that this behavior has also become a sense of self-consciousness in the hearts of men, after all, the event that has gone through hardships to reach the finish line is even more memorable.
According to relevant statistics, among the 7 million marathon participants every year, at least 200,000 male runners wear red colors, and most of them bleed from their chests.
So why is it always men who get hurt?
First of all, a marathon is 42 kilometers, for many ordinary runners, most of them take about 4 hours to finish, and some will even exceed 5 hours, such a long distance, running will increase the body's adrenaline secretion.
As long as the adrenaline increases, not only will the heart rate increase, but also cause the nipples to bulge, and after constant friction with the clothes, it will naturally wear out.
After all, this friction is not a hundred, a thousand, but tens of thousands of times, so in such a state, no matter how much bloodshed is inevitable!
How can this be prevented?
It is important to choose a set of equipment that suits you before racing, at least to a certain extent, to reduce the pain caused by friction, then it is necessary to dry quickly and lightly.
In the fabric, do not choose cotton with poor air permeability as much as possible, which will not only affect the comfort of runners, but also aggravate friction.
In addition, after having good equipment, don't forget to lubricate the skin on the areas where there is a lot of friction, such as using petroleum jelly to apply it to increase the smoothness of the skin.
Of course, the most important thing is to add a layer of protection to your nipples and put a nipple patch, which is quite good for men's protection.
Don't be embarrassed to think that this is a feminine product, nipple patches are currently more popular in the market for male marathon runners.
Therefore, for male runners, it is important to do these precautions to avoid a bad marathon experience.
In short, if there is excessive bleeding due to injury, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time to prevent infection.
Finally, it is recommended that all male runners can pay attention to the care of their nipples, so that there is less embarrassment and pain on the road of long-distance running!
