Currently training for my first Backyard Ultra incl some 100+ miles weeks so I’ve given these shorts a good sweat test. The storage options in the shorts are fantastic and the standout feature for me is just how soft they feel - I think softest I’ve ever known. Totally recommend but my one watch out is sizing. The size guide suggested I opted for Small based on waist size which was surprising. I tried both Small and my normal Medium and Medium was definitely the better option. Stick to your normal short size when ordering I think.
(Shorts bought 100% with my own money for a totally impartial review) ; )
just got a 20 mile run in my new singlet done! was completely comfortable, lightweight, breathable, good feel to the material, no chafing or itching
Ordered this shirt in Japan, took it on a trip to Australia, wore it for my second fastest half marathon. Very comfortable to run in, and got lots of compliments on the shirt when I posted pics of the run. Love the YT channel and appreciate the great quality gear.
First HM training plan I've used, and where better to seek advice from than the GOAT Ben Parkes. The plan helped me smash my goal time of 2:00:00.
17/08/25 - Frome Half Marathon - 1:57:56. Cheers Ben!
This hat offers comfort without compromise which I’ve come to expect with all my purchases from Ben & Sarah. And when you can combo it’s even better.
Love #gettingitdone👍🏻
After years of watching Ben wear his own branded shorts in YouTube videos we finally get to own a pair. Lightweight, true to size and they look great!
Took these new split running shorts for their first run here in Majorca in 33 degree heat, very comfortable no rubbing and to be honest I hardly knew I was wearing them they’re so good, I had a gel in the back pocket and room key (credit card size) in the zip pocket both very secure. Can’t recommend these shorts highly enough and at a very competitive price.
I have already completed Ben Parkes’ half marathon training plan twice and achieved a PB of 1 hour 30 minutes, and now I have also purchased the 5K plan to improve my time to under 20 minutes. Thank you, Ben, for the very well-structured plan, the variety of runs, and for being the best. I can’t wait to start training with this plan.
Lovely shorts. Great materials and very light. Pocket on each side of the inner short for the mobile phone and keys.. perfect pocket for gels on the back side. And they are looking great!
Great soft material and perfect weight. Looking good and smart!
