![]() I haven’t tried on the Speed Up Long shorts but in your pictures they look longer than the Run Times ll which have the same 4″ inseam. The newer version Run Times ll are a total bust for me and I won’t buy them so thank goodness I have a good supply of the originals. Dance Studio Pants & Street To Studios!!! I absolutely love my original Run Times, they have been my go to running shorts since they first came out after the Groovy Run Short was discontinued. ![]() I don’t think LLL should have changed the fit of these two shorts but they seem determined to either discontinue or revamp original iconic product, i.e. Great post and good info to have for those unsure by the changes made to these shorts.

So, I ordered the Speed Ups when flamenco red uploaded last summer. The leg holes felt far more… OPEN in the Speed Up Shorts than they had in the older version.ĭespite the ‘freedom’, and that I needed new shorts like I needed a hole in the head, I really wanted to get my hands on a classic red.

From L-R: Run Times Short, Speed Up Short *Long Updated Fit, Speed Short, Speed Short *Hi-Rise, Speed Up Short When my workout routine consisted of far more CrossFit WODs and far less long distance mileage, I amassed a decent sized pile of shorts over a few years.
