Best Marathon Shorts

5 Avidrunner
[ I received the new pair of Journey 5 Inch Shorts the other month. They have become my new go- to workout short. Since its the winter here in Chicago, I am doing all my workouts inside, but they would definitely be great to wear outside too. The length is great, just short enough but not too short!. The lining is also great. They are very light and comfortable which I love. The style is perfect too. Not too flashy which I love as well. I am thinking of purchasing another pair in a different color as well. Great short!

[ Aside from being slightly snug( not enough to not wear), these are great for my casual runs. The shorts are just the right length to not get in the way, yet no rubbing or chaffing. The hidden zippered pockets are great for hiding money or an ID. They are n't the warmest if you are running on a chilly day, but they are n't letting me freeze either. They do later nice too so I can wear thin compression tights underneath without issue. The color is masculine too and matches most of my clothing. I 've really got no complaints comfort wise, so just know to size up a little bit.

[ I have about 25 miles in these shorts and I love them. They ’ re comfortable and light. I ’ m 5 ’ 8 ” and the 5 ” length is great for my body- type and preference. The pockets are useful and out of the way. There ’s one zippered pocked in the back, four elastic pockets that sit towards the back of my hips, and one internal pocket. The elastic pockets are great for quick grabs like gels. I ’ m usually a size 34 waist in my pants and the medium shorts are a great fit. They don ’ t sag or shift much at all when tied down. Overall these shorts feel minimal while still providing plenty of options to carry basics.

[ You know when you have a favorite pair of running shorts that you have worn for years and years and you ca n't quite find the right replacement? I have been running in a pair of Brooks shorts for close to a decade. As a long- distance runner, I need shorts that are going to go the distance! First, my favorite feature of these shorts is the numerous pockets along the comfortable waistband( including a zipper pocket). The smooth design of the elastic waistband is very comfortable even with things in the pockets. Second of all, the built- in liner compression type shorts are a good fit while not being too tight. Finally, I expect the material of these shorts are going to last me another decade of fitness!

[ I 'm a casual runner who spends most of their winter days training indoors while waiting for Spring. These Brooks Journey shorts are my perfect running and cross- training companion, providing a light and airy feel while keeping me comfortable during my daily workouts. Like other Brooks shorts, these dry quickly and have held up great over repeated washes. One of my favorite features is that these shorts have tons of storage, featuring both a zipper pocket in the back center, as well as four smaller mesh compartments around the sides and back. While these are n't big enough to store something like a modern smartphone, they are perfect for energy gels and other prepackaged snacks to keep me fueled once I start marathon training outdoors. These pants are definitely in my rotation and I am thinking about picking up another pair! Great design as always from Brooks!

[ Very good quality. The material is super since and appears to be moisture absorbing but hard to tell when it's this cold out and base layers are under. Worked well at the gym though in typical conditions on the treadmill. The texture is decent and my only complaint would be the sizing runs a tad large.

[ The Men ’s Journey 7 ” Short is a really comfortable pair of lightweight running shorts. These fit true to size being a 5 ’ 10 ” 180 lbs male who regularly wears large. I didn ’ t have to use the drawstrings, but they are available if needed. I personally really do prefer 7 ” inseam length shorts for the my comfort, and the length on these are perfect! From what I can tell so far with these shorts, the liner material used does well in moisture wicking to help keep dry during sweating! Last, a note on luxury! So many pockets and opportunities for storage in these shorts! I ’ m counting multiple stash pockets, a zippered back pocket, and even a pocket for your key to keep with you while running! Quality product and I would recommend to all runners!

[ The Brooks Men ’s Journey 7 ” Running Shorts strike an excellent balance between comfort, functionality, and performance. These shorts are ideal for runners by providing that perfect balance of both coverage and freedom of movement. The fabric is lightweight and breathable, ensuring comfort during both short runs and extended training sessions. The inner brief lining provides additional support without cutting in or riding up. The material wicks away moisture effectively, helping to keep you dry and feeling good. One of the standout features is the pockets — there are three back pockets which provide plenty of space to carry essentials like keys, a phone and even a snack. The zippered pocket is particularly useful for securing valuables, which is a great addition for runners on the go. The material has excellent stretch and doesn ’ t restrict movement, making it not only super comfortable but also great for various activities beyond running, such as gym workouts or casual wear. The quality of the material and stitching is impressive, withstanding frequent washes without signs of wear. These shorts are built to last, even with heavy use. The Brooks Men ’s Journey 7 ” Running Shorts are a solid choice for runners seeking comfort, durability, and utility. Whether you ’ re training for a marathon or enjoying a casual jog, these shorts won ’ t disappoint. Highly recommended for those who value practicality and style in their running gear.

[ The Men ’s Journey 7 ” short is a great pair of shorts for running. They have cell phone pouches on each side, both at the hip and rear hip. There is also a nice secure zip pocket on the rear that can hold a standard phone, but not a plus size phone. Running with a phone in the rear zip pocket felt a little loose, but the other positions were great. I did not feel much phone movement in the hip pouches, nor did I feel like my phone would fall out at any time. The rear zipped pocket might be better for keys or a credit card. The shorts were a good size for running with adequate length and good moisture wicking material. They have internal underwear, but they could be worn over boxer briefs and still feel fine. They generally were still dry after a run other than the waist band. The shorts were great from a design for technology while running perspective. They are well designed running shorts, but would not be great shorts for casual wear since there are no front pockets. They also are a little short for casual wear. I really liked that the shorts had a good dry fit material to keep you dry and cool during a run. The multiple phone pouches were also a great addition. I question how long the pouch elastic will last, but that will take time to evaluate. The only complaint I would have is that the shorts material was wrinkly. Out of the box they were wrinkly, and that hasn ’ t gone away yet after several runs. I ’ ll have to wash them to see if that smoothes them out. I suspect it will based upon other similar materials I ’ ve had in clothing. All in all these are great shorts and I ’ m glad to have a pair of them to run in.

[ Sure! Here ’s the updated review with the changes: The shorts run slightly big, but the strong inner drawstring keeps them snug on my waist. The interior liner is super comfortable and supportive without feeling too tight, even when I wear boxers instead of boxer briefs. I barely notice them while running, which shows how well- made they are. The elastic waistband is snug but not restrictive, and it stays in place even if I forget to tie the string. The 7 '' length is just right — not too short — and the design holds up well after washing and drying. The fabric is perfect for anyone who sweats a lot. It wicks moisture away really well, so I don ’ t get that uncomfortable damp feeling. I love how comfortable they are, even when I ’ m just wearing boxers. They ’ re versatile enough to wear for running short and medium distances and then run errands afterward without feeling out of place. The pockets are great, especially the back pocket, which easily fits my large phone. It ’s a nice bonus that I can carry my phone comfortably without needing an armband.
