About this deal

One only has to browse the online shelves for a few seconds to see that running shorts have taken the term shorts to a whole new level (or should we say length). But if you tend to prefer your pants more on the modest side of the spectrum, you may be wondering why so little fabric seems to be the norm and if it’s really necessary to bare it all in the name of running. Some women’s running shorts are skin-tight, while others feature a looser fit and a split-style that allows for great range of motion. Shorts may have a built-in brief for more coverage and support. Women’s running shorts come in many different lengths, from 3- to 10-inch options, so you can choose the one that suits you best. These high-performance women’s running shorts from Lululemon, a brand famous for their premium leggings, earn our top overall spot for their quality, features, and comfort. Designed with runners in mind, the shorts feature a lightweight waistband and continuous drawstring so they’ll stay in place without digging into your sides. Well, what you wear is going to affect your performance and the longer your shorts are, the more material there is to get in your way or worse; rub you the wrong way. That’s why teeny-tiny running shorts are the option of choice for many. The time has come for us to whip out the running shorts and let our pins, that have spent a little too long encased in leggings, do what they do best: take on the open road with the added breeze and extra freedom that a good set of running shorts can provide.

It's also normal to wear different shorts to suit your training days. 'Lots of runners prefer to wear a shorter pair for racing or short runs, as this will allow more range of motion and increase breathability,' says Stewart. 'However, if your thighs tend to rub together, I would advise going for a longer pair of compression shorts, or a 2-in-1 to minimise any issues.' The best women’s running shorts to buy now As you shop, there are a few key things to focus on that will help you easily find your next pair of running shorts. The good news is that like running shoes, women's running shorts have come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and now there really is a pair for all seasons (that you can also match to your favourite running top).Tired of thigh-rub or tiny shorts that ride up? Running brands have finally seen the light! And cycling-style shorts are now mainstream kit for runners looking for chafe-free comfort. Confusingly, they're still called cycling shorts (as cyclists got their first). Running shorts for women are typically broken down into the following three categories: • Compression / cycling-style shorts

And if things are really scorching, the last thing you want is to add another layer downstairs by covering your undies in what is technically a second set of pants. We've gone and found shorts that champion breathability over chafing and won't slow you down when you're looking to speed things up. It's not often we get to enjoy the sun as we stride so we might as well make the most of it. Why are women’s running shorts so short? For more coverage, explore options such as the Method 8” Short Tight. Longer shorts provide protection in areas that might otherwise rub together, which makes for a more comfortable and positive running experience. At any length, our short tights are built for speed, smoothness, and the support you want. Find your perfect fit with Nike women's running shorts. Choose form-fitting styles that keep you secure, or feel light and airy in looser-fitting designs. And for extra support and comfort, go for shorts with inner briefs that fit like a second skin. Two-in-one running shorts for women provide coverage along with freedom of movement. The loose outer shorts combine with stretchy tights underneath to give you a secure feeling when you're warming up or running hard. Look out for pairs with elasticated waistbands that keep shorts in place when you're on the move. Adjust them with the drawcord fastenings for a fit that feels just right, and you're ready to hit the road. But slightly longer, form-fitting shorts that have more of a compression effect are well suited to women who run, as they minimise chafe and maximise comfort. 'Compression shorts will also help improve blood flow for faster recovery and help to protect against overuse injuries,' says Nicola Stewart from Up and Running. • 2-in-1 shortsSince the 1970s, we've proudly supported women everywhere to achieve their running dreams. Today, we make our running shorts for women with that same goal in mind. They're designed with the comfort you need for long runs and the breathability that gets you through sprints. Choose women's running shorts with reflective design features like Swoosh graphics to increase your visibility and make sure you're seen on low-light runs. Interior Liner: There are plenty of women’s running shorts made with and without liners. Some runners love to have a brief liner or built-in compression shorts that can replace underwear and help minimize chafing. Other people can’t stand them. Again, this is a preference thing. If the idea of wearing skintight shorts turns you cold but it's too warm to run in leggings, you do still have options. 2-in-1 shorts can be a great compromise, as they look like classic shorts but they have a tight cycle-style layer underneath to minimise rubbing, while the relaxed outer layer provides extra coverage. '2-in-1 shorts have a longer inner layer which can help prevent chafing, and cover modesty if you don't like wearing something too short,' says Stewart. • Split shorts Having said that, you may not be looking to win any gold medals or break any world records. If you've just started running or generally don't like to show off quite so much leg, don't worry some longer options are available (and in this edit).
