best shorts I've found for running

I do agree that the lilac color looks a little darker in the photos, but the color is still super pretty in person. I run outdoors and indoors, and my gym sometime doesn't have the AC on- so I'm sweating my butt off. These shorts felt like absolutely nothing and also didn't show any sweat despite th...e color. They were damp everywhere, but you wouldn't have been able to tell at all. This is my second pair and I'm debating buying a third! No chafing. They ride up a little bit in the front but because of the length it doesn't look weird. Feel so free when I run in them!

Flimsy

I wish I would have liked these but honestly there's nothing to the material. The waistline is super wide and boxy. Returned for a different style.

Comments about Speedwork Mid Rise 2 1/2"" Run Short

Very pretty color-Wild Berry! I would say true to size or perhaps roomy.. Very comfortable. I like the Fast Route (they do not up at this color).

Comments about Speedwork Mid Rise 2 1/2"" Run Short

Love these shorts! When running, took a minute to get the shorts situated with my run belt -- but perfect after that. 4/5 stars because I wish they were a teensy bit longer, but great for active gals. I am 5 ft 4 & wear an XS!

Comments about Speedwork Mid Rise 2 1/2"" Run Short

I like the fabrics, light and breeze in summer days. I got the medium and it's a bit baggy, especially the tummy area had lots of fabrics but I decided to keep it as too big is better than too tight or restrictive to movement
