WOMEN'S RUNNING SHORTS

The best running shorts depend on your needs. Split shorts and lightweight styles are great for speed and breathability. 2-in-1 shorts offer built-in support and help prevent chafing, making them ideal for longer runs. Fitted short tights provide a secure, streamlined fit and reduce irritation—perfect for high-intensity sessions.

Many women’s running shorts feature zip pockets or hidden compartments, ideal for securely storing keys, cards, or gels. Some 2-in-1 and longer styles offer additional storage options, making them practical for both short training runs and longer sessions when you need to carry small essentials

Look for shorts with flat seams, smooth linings, and soft, stretchy fabrics. 2-in-1 shorts with built-in liners are especially effective at reducing friction. Ensure your shorts fit well and avoid bunching to minimise the risk of chafing during longer or high-intensity runs.
