What do all you lady runners wear? I am finding my Capri length running leggings a bit hot in this weather

[Jalapenolover101 Graduate]

For me, wearing anything other than full length leggings would be unkind to anyone who had to witness it 😂 I agree it's very hot and uncomfortable out there though, so I ran with no jacket on yesterday 😉

Seriously though, wear what.. you.. are comfortable in👍

[Irishprincess Graduate]

As little as decently possible. Shorts, sleeveless top or crop bra. Hat and sunglasses, sunscreen and a "what-the-hell-am-I-doing-running-in-this-weather" expression 😭😳🙄

Lol😀

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Capris too. Would love to think I’ll be slim enough for shorts next year 😂

Got some running shorts after braving sports direct last week.

I figure a lot of people are going out wearing as little. Wore them yesterday and after a while realised I was so focused on running, I forgot I was wearing shorts!

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate]

I brought some running shorts. The are not pretty with these old legs but nice and cool.

[Patjoub in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

Are they just shorts or the double layer ones?

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate in reply to Patjoub]

The have a Lycra underneath the short

[Patjoub in reply to Cornet-Carolyn]

Ok thanks x

Really wish you ladies would dress for comfort. X

[Patjoub in reply to Jay66UK]

Lol only a man would say that !!

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Patjoub]

I don’t have good body self-image but I couldn’t imagine running in anything but the briefest things at the moment.

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

😂 So do we Jay! We’re working on it! ❤️

I’ve given in. Sorry world 🌍 the shorts have come out (shame, because those running tights make my thighs look much slimmer 😂😂😂)

[Soozy16 Graduate]

Capri leggings for the same reason! I have purchased some shorts with the Lycra insert. The worst thing about Capri leggings is peeling them off afterwards! Gross! 😖🤣

[Wanna-Be Graduate]

I've been running in cheap (thin) Primark Capri leggings. And a thin mesh back t-shirt. I'd prefer a racer back vest top but my sunburn prohibits that at the moment. I have a pair of Bermuda length lycra shorts that may get an outing tomorrow but I'm not sure a few inches less fabric will make a significant difference!

I tried tennis style shorts once, but found the loose fabric kept riding up, and I had to keep doing a strange hop + leg shake step to prevent uncomfortable wedgie / chaffing issues 🤣

Hi Patjoub

I'm wearing short leggings which have elatane mix rather than lycra. They finish just above the knee. I've not done any C2 5k this week far too hot for me and suffering with migraines.

[Dexy5 Graduate]

I’m in Lycra shorts, sunglasses, peaked cap, and sun tan lotion. I can’t face the leggings and capris in the heat. Besides we might as well get our legs brown while we’re running.

I run in running shorts by Brooks Chaser 7” which are longer than the regular short running shorts. They are really light with an underwear insert and have 2 largish front pockets. I love them.

That’s great not ready for teeny weeny hot pants!!
