Does it matter if u wear short-shorts or like long shorts when u run? or does it just depend on urself?

it doesnt really matter, but you will notice a big difference if you run in short shorts, and then go to long ones, you can tell how much they shorten your stride

short shorts are a lot eiser to run in. But now its starting to get cold so iv switched to longer shorts. Save the short shorts for outdoor track and xc, not indoor.

For me it is not the length of the shorts but just the fact that they have a liner, so you dont have to wear boxers or underwear.

Yea, anything with a liner, dri fit/cool max type material is my favorite, regardless of length,

what types of shorts you wear has no affect. just be yourself, wear what you feel comfortable with.

i play basketball in the winter and started wearing long shorts. I miss my short shorts though, they were so much more comfortable.

short shorts are amazing. when freshman show up on our team to run in the summer, they usually show up with basketball shorts and a skater t shirt. by then end theyre in short shorts and no shirt.

Up to a certain point shorts getting shorter helps improve your running performance. But once you reach a certain point in shortness of running shorts all you get are diminishing returns.

short-shorts for long/easy runs, half-tights for everything else. Gives the freshmen girls something to look at during the first week of track.
