Running bottoms

Ok get your filthy minds out the gutters I’m not on about bouncing bums here.

Just wondering where I can get a pair of sweatpants that don’t have the thin tight legs and the big saggy bum look.

I have a Nike pair which are ok but when I run in them the elastic around the ankles rides up my calf’s and make me look like I’m wearing plus fours ☹️. Same when I sit down .

I know this might be a curve ball, but why not shorts? if you really want long 'uns, then if it were me (which it will be in the winter) I'd get a pair of skins and where shorts over the top to hide the 'lunch box' look (apparently its not very fetching!!!) lol

Have you tried Sports & Soccer? Decathlon? Those sorts of places?

I am wearing shorts at the moment but thinking ahead to when it gets colder 😉. I do not have legs for skins !

Honestly mate, skins are the way to go. You feel like a right tit in them the first time, but they’re great for outside stuff. If anyone sees you, they’ll just see a runner!!

99% of the people on here will say they don’t have he legs for it, for anyone of a hundred reasons. Who cares? Anyone that sees you outside won’t recognise you when you’re not sweating and red faced anyway!!

Ha ha but my old dear will and I’ll get the ol raised eye brows and the walk out of the room gig . No words will be exchanged but a thousand will be communicated and none of them positive. She wants me wearing those shoes that look like pasty’s with soles that are made from re formed lentils made by ethnic gurus . My Nike air macs from the 90’s I bought for walking about in were met by a look of disdain.
