Sustainability

Groundwork Knit is made using a premium grade nylon that has a significantly tighter woven filament than standard synthetics. Tighter filaments mean less microfiber shedding in the wash-cycle, plus greater durability of the garment (longer lifespan, more wearing).

Groundwork Knit fabric is also bluesign® certified meaning it is free from harmful chemicals and is fabricated in a way that meets a high environmental standard.

Perfect for Marathons and long runs

I love these shorts. I like that the waist band has a tie so it’s adjustable. My thighs don’t chafe and my gels don’t bounce in the pockets. I’m using these for my marathon training long runs and plan on wearing these for my marathon.

Spectacular! Give me 14 of em right now

Never thought running shorts/leggings could feel like butter but here we are. The legs stay down with the grippies and the waist stays up and compressed. What’s not to love? Feels weightless on my booty.

the only bike shorts she will wear!

My running, biking, PE teacher daughter will only wear Janji bike shorts. She placed 3rd female in the 5K she ran today. Another woman came up to her and said "oh, another Janji fan!"

Pockets!

These shorts are amazing because they have pockets and don't ride up. I use these shorts under my tennis dresses because the two side pockets can hold many tennis balls. The pace short is also useful for everyday wear because of the amazing pockets.

No chaffing

I have been very prone to chaffing during ultra running events, particularly around the top of my shorts and leg openings. Bought these for a recent 100-miler to see if they could curb my chaffing and they worked like magic! No chaffing on my legs at all. Stayed put for the entire 100 miler. Will definitely buy again!

No bounce!

I can know listen to my music! My phone fits secure in my pocket. I now get to hear complete songs without my pockets making it skip or turn off. The fit feels amazing! I love it!

Best shorts for marathons!

I have always worn regular running shorts for running long distance until my most recent race. Throughout my training, I was chafing horribly between my thighs. I did a lot of research and stumbled upon the Janji groundwork pace shorts, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I ran a marathon in these shorts, and I didn’t even have to think about my shorts riding up, feeling too tight, chafing, etc. If you are looking for shorts that will allow you to focus on your run and not wardrobe malfunctions, this is what you need!

Awesome running shorts! The mediums fit me perfect, the large are a little loose, but they still work if they’re on sale.
