Short...but sweet

Ranked #1798 - Men's Trail Running Clothing
April 15, 2005
So, on an annual basis I do this race called the Wasatch Back Relay--a 172 mile relay race from northern Utah to Park City. My first couple months of training were done in heavy, baggy, sagging skate shorts which acted like a parachute to my average min/mile time. I decided I'd bite the bullet and get a pair of the classic short running shorts--these are they. Gotta tell you, putting these things on made me at least 4 times faster - no joke. Super lightweight, and surprisingly to me, the shortness of the shorts actually made it easier to run. Anyone out there willing to get their run on...get these shorts, immediately.
