sustainability

Groundwork Knit is made using a premium grade nylon that has a significantly tighter woven filament than standard synthetics. Tighter filaments mean less microfiber shedding in the wash-cycle, plus greater durability of the garment (longer lifespan, more wearing).

Groundwork Knit fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

Best run short

I will have a hard time wearing any other running shorts to be honest. I can’t tell if it’s just because I gained weight or if they’re a little snug for me on the medium so I’ll say they just fit right. Even with the snug fit on my stomach (again probably because I’m heavier than usual right now) it wasn’t uncomfortable and I ran a whole marathon in them. The deep pockets are everything you can fit an entire plastic water bottle in them (I didn’t run like that just tested it out) I fit 4 gels on each side and still had room for my phone the whole race never lost a gel and I have thicker thighs never once pulled my shorts down because of the grip

The 16 hour Test: Stays in Place All Day!

I wore these for my first 100k race around Lake Sonoma. I usually buy men's shorts from Janji because I like the longer length. I am 5'2 and 120 pounds. I usually buy an xs in janji's leggings, but the xs pace short tends to be too tight around my stomach. I initially didn't want to buy the pace short because I can have issues with a too tight fit around my stomach causing more nausea as a run extends beyond 5 hours. However, size small was the perfect fit. Not too tight around my stomach and a perfect fit around my thighs. They stayed in place for the entirety of my 100k with no chafing and no issues. The best shorts are the ones you don't even know you are wearing so you can focus on the aspects of the race. That's exactly what these offer. I couldn't recommend them more.

LOVE the new grippers!

I've had every iteration of the pace shorts over the past 2+ years, including the 6-inch version (which ran a little small), to the first iteration of the 7-inch (more true to size). And now these: I notice improved pocket design, new drawstring (from continuous to now having two ends that you can tie together) and the evolution of the leg grippers from a band to the many little dots. The grip is what seals the deal for me. When I first tried this latest pair on, the grip was so sticky I had to be careful getting the shorts up! But after a few washes some of that intense stick is gone, in a good way. These shorts don't move at all while I am moving, and that is the most important feature for me. Besides functionality, fun colors and prints are my other favorite thing.

I have thick thighs and I used to think I couldn't wear any shorts while running--I just stuck to spandex capris that I knew wouldn't ride up. These are the only shorts I run in!!

Pace perfection

This is my first time finding a spandex short that was actually comfortable! No squeezing on my legs, or any kind of creeping (the wide rows of grippers on the bottom band of each leg do not budge!).
I wore them for my recent marathon and honestly I forgot I was even wearing shorts. No chafing whatsoever. So so happy with these!

I love these shorts

They're cute, bright, and durable. I don't feel my phone or key or gel in my pocket at all, and there's no hint of chafing. Buy them!

Great running shorts

These are super comfortable. The fabric is really nice and soft to touch, but great for sweaty runs. They stay in place well and hold everything you need (phone/gels/keys) in the deep side pockets.

Game changer!

These shorts are amazing for distance running, the grips on the leg hems are the game changer! I bought two other pairs of similar running shorts from reputable sports brands, but couldn’t keep the legs from riding up and bunching, and was constantly adjusting them during runs. These shorts stay in place the for the duration of the run!
