Running Shorts

How to choose your running shorts?

When you run, it's important to remember that your muscles are subjected to significant and repetitive effort. When temperatures are mild, exerting yourself for an extended period can quickly make you feel hot, and you certainly don't want to be uncomfortable during your run, especially if you're gearing up for a marathon! Choosing the right running shorts is therefore essential for an enjoyable sporting experience without injury. A quality running short should provide comfort and support while meeting your personal needs (in terms of functionality). Make sure to choose a running short made from lightweight and stretchy materials for better breathability and increased comfort. Stretchy materials, for example, in your running shorts do not hinder your movements whether you're training uphill in Montmartre or deciding to take the stairs up to Notre-Dame de Fourvière. Consider opting for running shorts with flat seams to avoid potential skin irritations, which can become painful after several hours of running. Some running shorts also come with pockets and reflective patterns that can be a definite advantage if you're carrying your keys, your phone, or if you choose to go for your run in the evening. Finally, choose the length of your running shorts that suits your running practice. If you're used to long-distance running, like marathons or half-marathons, it's best to opt for a short running short as it ensures optimal airflow, undeniable lightness, and great freedom of movement. Conversely, if you prefer shorter distances, it is entirely feasible to choose a long running short that is a bit less lightweight. It all depends on the budget you allocate to your running shorts.

The running shorts for men and women

The cut of your running shorts depends on your body shape, whether you are a man or a woman. Length, waist cut, body fit, there are many differences between men's running shorts and women's running shorts. Ladies, there are also running skorts, a great alternative for added comfort while remaining feminine, even in the most challenging runs!
