Running Shorts

Finding the right shorts for your run can be as important as finding the right shoes. Just like running shorts ladies come in all shapes, sizes and types so here are a few ideas of what's out there to get you started or to maybe think about replacing your old ones ahead of summer.

Lite Sports make a Super Dry short, which comes in pink, navy and light blue. This is quite a short legged short with a side split so perhaps not the best choice for those who want to cover up, but it does have super dry technology, which means moisture is drawn away from the body and into the outer layer.

Nike's DRIfit filament tight ladies running shorts are a longer legged short for those who prefer a bit more body coverage. However longer and tight doesn't have to mean sweaty and uncomfortable as these shorts are also designed to wick moisture away from the body to keep you cooler for longer.

Asics have womens running shorts that look a bit more like a traditional pair of shorts, with a mesh inner liner for comfort and a loser outer short, which features a drawstring for comfort and a band of reflective material on the front and back if you happen to prefer running at night. They also have a zippy pocket on the back.

Whatever style you go with remember to warm up first and happy travels!
