Best Split Shorts
Tracksmith Van Cortlandt 3” Short These shorts are my go-to and at this point I have one for every day of the week. The simple mesh style short will give you vintage running vibes but doesn’t sacrifice functional features like a proper supportive, anti-chafe, odor resistant liner. The split short design feels weightless and liberating , perfect for when the temperatures rise. I wear these on my normal every day runs, workouts, and short races. Pros :
Best Half Tights Rabbit Speedsters Every marathon build I’ve done I’ve invested in a few new pieces of kit in the lead up trying to find a hidden gem to maybe give the slightest edge on race day, especially in the half-tight category. After 100s if not 1000s of dollars spent, all nine marathons I have worn the Rabbit Speedsters. With 3 pockets (2 side drop ins, and a zippered back pocket) I can easily fit 6 gels in the tight and not feel crammed and over weighed. The fabric is soft and comfy and can be worn with or without a liner or undergarment. There is no feeling of pulling, over stretching or tugging at movement points, which gives you confidence and support on race day. Pros :
Best 2-in-1 Brooks Sherpa 5” 2-in-1 Seldom am I going for more modesty in my shorts selection, but when I do the Brooks Sherpa 2-in-1 is a knock out option. The compression liner is just wonderful. Attached to a wide, soft waistband this short is a workhorse from the roads to the gym to the post-workout coffee shop. The short also features two small drop in side pockets and a zipper pocket which is attached to the compression short at the hip which takes more large phones and keeps them snug to the leg. Pros :
