Lanky, seeking leggings for running

[Jess93]

Hi! Following on from last week's post about parkrun/clothing, I've realised that I really do need a proper pair of running leggings, because my current trousers just aren't suitable for running outside.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some reasonably priced leggings in a UK 8 with a 35 inch (90 cm) inside leg please? I've had a look on a couple of sites and in a couple of shops already, but they all seem to be a few inches too short and it's too cold for cropped trousers right now!

Thank you all!

Have you tried the men's section?

[Jess93 in reply to Millsie-J]

I did try a few, but unfortunately getting a size large enough to go over my hips meant that the actual legs were rather baggy

Thanks for the reply though!

I am 5ft 10" (normally a 34" leg in trousers) and wear ladies Karrimor running tights from Sports Direct. Find them plenty long enough. Hope this helps.🙂

This is incredibly helpful- thank you so much! I've got a branch near me, so I'll have a look in there on my way home from work

I've got some of them too but then I've also been OK out in the mornings in my cropped trousers!

Long compression socks with the pants?

I got some running leggings from Sainsbury's a couple of weeks ago, which are plenty long on me at 5'9". £14 I think, and very comfortable.

Can't help with your legging hunt I'm afraid but wish I had your long-legged problem. It's the opposite for me, forever rolling them up at the bottom!
