READ: HOW TO TRAIN FOR A HALF MARATHON

Running shorts need to move with you, not against you. Lightweight, quick-drying fabrics keep you cool and dry on hot runs, while flat seams stop chafing on your longest efforts. Stretch materials allow a full stride without restriction, at any pace you're holding.

2 in 1 running shorts combine a looser outer short with a built-in compression liner, giving support without the tight feel of full leggings. They suit long runs and hard sessions where you want the liner's structure but not the compression fit all over. Many styles include a secure zip pocket or a running shorts phone pocket, so keys, gels and your phone stay put without bouncing.

We stock men's running shorts and women's running shorts across a range of lengths and fits, from 5-inch race shorts to longer 7-inch training styles. Shorter shorts suit faster running and warmer weather, while longer styles offer more coverage for everyday training. Reflective details on select styles improve visibility on early morning or evening runs, and adjustable waistbands give a snug, secure fit without a belt.

Shop running shorts at Runners Need and find a fit that suits your distance, pace and the weather you train in.

2 in 1 running shorts pair an outer short with a built-in compression liner in one garment, combining freedom of movement with underlying support.

Most running shorts have a built-in liner or brief, so you don't need extra underwear underneath. Unlined shorts can be worn with moisture-wicking underwear if you prefer more support.

The best running shorts fit your distance and training style: lightweight shorts for speed sessions, 2 in 1 shorts for long runs, and longer styles for everyday mileage in cooler weather.

Compression shorts can improve muscle support and reduce fatigue on long runs, and many runners find they help recovery between sessions. The liner in 2 in 1 running shorts gives some of this benefit without full compression tights.

Liners in running shorts reduce chafing between the thighs and add light support, working like built-in underwear so you don't need a separate layer.

5-inch shorts suit faster running and hot weather thanks to less fabric and more airflow. 7-inch shorts give more coverage and comfort for longer, steadier training runs.
