Tip of the Week

It’s nice to look good, but comfort should be your first consideration when buying a pair of running shorts. Use these tips to choose running shorts that meet your needs:

• Choose a running short with a built-in mesh liner. They’re cooler and more comfortable than wearing a separate undergarment with unlined shorts.

• For greater freedom of movement, choose a half-split running short over a v-notch short. (Look at the side seams of the shorts. The names are descriptive.) If modesty is a concern, you’ll prefer the v-notch style.

• “Compression” shorts – those tight stretch fabric shorts - are a little warmer than traditional running shorts. You may prefer them for cooler weather.

• Shorts with a built-in belt are more constricting than those just with an elastic waistband. Go for comfort.

• Baggy shorts with long inseams are heavier and hotter than more traditional running shorts, and provide no advantages.
