SUB 4 power shorts

These shorts are a great pair of Lycra shorts for any kind of running, breathable and wicking.
They also double up as a great pair of undershorts under the SUB 4 Square Cut short.

SUB 4 Square cut shorts

I love my new SUB 4 short - it is a simple square cut short that looks and feels great. Made from a lightweight breathable material this short meets the needs of all runners, the back zip is ideal for securely carrying your keys or phone while on the move.

A great place to run if you want to get out of Harrogate and favourite with a lot of the Up & Running Staff is Swinsty and Fewston Reservoirs, 10 miles or so to the West of Harrogate. Either run round them both or when just begining running, start with Swinsty about 3 miles.
