With bright blue skies, warm temperatures and longer and lighter days, summer is a great time to run.
That being said, it pays to dress accordingly as high temperatures can raise your core temperature making it harder to cool your body down, which can lead us to feel overheated and heavy.
Investing in a pair of lightweight shorts is a great way to wick sweat away and keep you cool, and Amazon shoppers have found an affordable winner with the £16.99 Yidarton Women's 2 in 1 Running Sports Shorts.
Described as 'stretchy and comfortable' and 'superb value', shoppers are snapping them up in a range of colours and even say they 'outperform more expensive brands'.


The Yidarton 2 in 1 Running Sports Shorts provide freedom and coverage during your runs
While Yidarton might be a relatively unknown brand, it's caused a lot of buzz among reviewers online thanks to its impressive quality and incredibly flattering fit - all for a very reasonable price.
With an average score of 4.3 out of 5, shoppers have left rave reviews for the 2-in-1 running shorts, writing how they're 'very comfy both to lounge around and exercise in' and noting that the 'quality and fit [is] beyond expectations'.
The summer temperatures seem here to stay so leggings and running tights may not be the most weather-appropriate pieces to wear on your workouts.
Shorts are a practical alternative and if you're looking for freedom and coverage whilst you run, it's worth opting for 2-in-1 shorts that give you distraction-free coverage.
The Yidarton Women's 2 in 1 Running Sports Shorts have an inner short that is made that bit longer and from smooth material to help keep you protected whilst also ensuring you don't chafe.
The over layer is relaxed and loose, offering good ventilation to help wick sweat away whilst on the move, keeping you cool and comfortable. The thick elastic waistband is another great design detail, offering extra support, while also supporting and flattering your shape.

Not only do they score highly for being super soft, comfortable and practical, the Yidarton 2-in-1 Running Shorts are available in eight colours and sizes S to XXL.
One impressed shopper left a five-star review, writing: 'Quality and fit beyond expectations. The shorts are great, make me feel confident and comfortable. They are really light, both layers, allowing the body to breath.'
Another agreed, adding: 'Great value for money. The shorts fit perfectly and are great to wear. The fabric is very lightweight and I hardly notice it when I'm wearing them. Great for hot summer days.'
A third penned: 'Really comfy, lightweight sports shorts. I was looking for shorts to do yoga in but didn't want to wear cycling shorts - these have a modesty layer, which makes the shorts look very flattering, yet are modest because of the tighter shorts underneath.
'Fit around the waist and thighs is perfect and I forget I'm wearing them, which says a lot as usually I'm having to pull up or readjust leggings during a class, but not with these shorts! I'm going to buy more in different colours.'
