Great for Curves

I have been a tried and true Fast and Free 8” Girlie for YEARS! Although I’m thrilled they brought them back, these are like a mix between the nothing feeling of the Align mixed with the performance I’ve come to expect from the Fast and Free. Wore them for a CrossFit workout today and they are amazing. I haven’t tested them on a longer run yet but I’m not anticipating any issues. Love!

Really hope these come back!!

Love love love the back pocket / shirt holder!! As someone who tends to overheat, I often have to strip down to my sports bra and hold my shirt while I’m running. These shorts are such a game changer!! I have 2 pairs of the loop hold leggings that were discontinued, but it’s so great to finally have a pair of shirt-holding shorts as well. Really hope the entire Go Further line is here to stay.

Run light, run free. That back pocket just changed the game. We're so happy to hear the lululemon Go Further High-Rise Race Short 8" is making moves you can feel.

Love them!

Love!! I absolutely love the length of these. Especially if you have curves these are a perfect length for the thighs. Also having additional pockets is clutch for carrying all your things, so perfect for distance running. I just wish they had a little bit of compression otherwise 10 out of 10 product.

OBSESSED

This piece should come back every season! Such a great and functional piece for ultra running. The 8” is perfect for big thigh girls like myself who are prone to chaffing and the integrated belt is the best feature. Highly recommend, by far my favourite peace in the go further collection.

Returned

The material is very thin what is not flattering. The grip band on the legs is very tight and makes your legs look horrible. Pockets are good until you need use the restroom, when you take them off everything slipping out of the pockets. My phone was in front pocket and slipped on the floor. Horrible design. Not sustainable for ultras

Appreciate you taking the time to share. Sounds like the fit and function didn’t line up with what you needed—especially for longer distances. This kind of feedback helps us keep refining the details that matter most.

Felt nice but weren’t great for long distance

The idea behind these shorts is great, however I wore them on a 10 mile run today for the first time and got major chafing round my waist from the top band of the shorts! I now have a nice thin swollen line around my waist from where they rubbed me. I’ll stick to my fast and frees.
