It would, but not much. The idea being that the wind resistance would be less, but how hairy are those legs?What should i do to get in shape to run??

I would say yes for the following reasons:1. You lose weight believe it or not.
2. It is said that they do hold you back.
3. I am in high school and all the guys say it works that they have seen a difference
it does work but not because of the wind resistance you cut away.. shaving your legs defines your muscles and makes you feel leaner.. a lot of distance runners do it just for the feeling it gives them .. it makes them feel faster and hence when you believe you're faster.. you are faster... distance running is pretty much mental

Best 14 year old mile time you know of?
unless he is sasquash hairy, no.Being faster has nothing to do with hair or no hair on the legs in running, maybe in swimming. Being faster has to do with lots of fast twich muscle, proper technique, talent and effort of work. It's just a vanity thing with guys in track, shaved head, shaved legs, not speed.

The shaving of legs comes from people who have fallen, gotten a "cheery", and the scab that forms gets messy from the hair in the way. It's easier to shave the legs to prevent that problem. Also, runners sometime have to tape their ankles and the tape will tear the hair off - painful - if you dont shave. Typically, triathletes and bike riders usually do it since there's a chance they'll fall. Some runners (male) shave their chest to allow a better pick-up for their heart rate monitor.More Questions & Answers...
