I've been a die-hard wearer of lululemon's 2.5" running shorts for what feels like forever. This hot pink pair of high-rise 2.5" speed ups is one of my favorites in a while. I previously wrote a comparison of lulu's original speeds vs speed ups here, which features the low-rise 2.5" version. Today's post focuses on the high-rise speed ups.
