I’m a male with bigger thighs that rub together. I have never used lube, I always wear 2-in-1 shorts or some slider shorts under my running shorts so thigh chafing has never been an issue. Granted, the longest distance I have ran is 20 miles so far. But a 100 mile is on my bucket list. Seems like everything I have seen from people says to just lube up everything and keep lubing it the whole time lol. But those people are also running in free flowing shorts.

My question is - is lube a personal running choice for an ultra? Or have I just not gone far enough/long enough to understand the value of lube?
