I get SO hot running and it's not even summer yet! I was wondering IF and when I can get away with running in a crop top! I was going to ask your lovely opinion here BUT as I went to take the picture realised I have my answer already! Noooo... I still have too much jelly belly yet! But I've lost three stone in weight so hopefully when the weather gets more hotter I just >maybe< when I've lost another stone or two be able to start running in crop tops?? 😂😕😜
When can I wear crop tops! Lol (beware jelly b... - Couch to 5K

Hey hun. Amazing having lost 3 stone, well done!! Have you tried wearing mesh tops or buy sports tops that allow your body to breathe, all good running tops help with ventilation.
Good luck
That's the idea! I brought sport tops with sleeves for the colder months we just had and they were wonderful for keeping me at a good temperature. But I would still roll the sleeves up and get a bit hot. And that was in the snow! I'm wondering how on earth I will manage summer! Although I may start getting up at 6am and go for early runs!

Congratulations on your weight loss.
I see a gazelle sprinting along by me in the warmer weather.
She is tall, willowy and slender ( I already dislike her 😂😂😂)
She wears capris and a sports bra, but somehow it's not a good look. Possibly more suited to in the gym?
Is there ever a time, when you are over 25 that it is too hot to wear a short sleeve, or even sleeveless running top?
How much cooler can having an exposed midriff make you?

So glad you posted this, I have exactly the same issue. I’m currently running in a cotton vest top n hoping the weather doesn’t get any warmer or I may melt! However, on reading the responses I may invest in a couple of the mesh breathable running tops
I never used to get hot like this when I was a skinny minnie so my theory is that the fat acts as an insulator and the more flab I lose the cooler I will be. I hope it holds true! 🤞Congrats on the weight loss, keep up the good work! 😊

I know exactly what u mean I started my c25k in a gym style top with my crop top underneath. Then I got to week 4 and couldn't bare to wear the top as I was getting too hot. Luckily I run at home so I just wear my crop top and leggings. Although today I ran w7r3 in my pj bottoms and crop top (maybe the worst mistake as I found today's run harder than the previous 2) although on my run I contemplated shorts for my runs. Especially in the warmer weather..
You have to run in what you feel comfortable in. And congrats on the weight loss. 🤗 happy running 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️
Wow where do I start. Amazing weight loss. C25K and personally I think you look great. But it’s about how you feel which is important. If I saw you running I would just think how great it is you are out there running and wave at you with a big thumbs up. Like you I get roasting hot outside running and dripping with sweat on a treadmill run. I threatened the gym staff I would run in my bikini 👙 one day. But I would get banned I think. Please let me know if you find any good buys. I am thinking shorts and vest for summer. Wish I had confidence to run in crop top.
Where I run I see about 3 people max! And 2 of those are usually other joggers. But there are a lot of cars passing by. However if anyone shouted anything I wouldn't hear because of my headphones! 😄
I just ordered myself some vest tops. I think that's the coolest I'm gonna be able to get without showing my tummy! Shorts will depend on just HOW hot it gets in summer! I do not do shorts in public! Lol... But 6 months ago I would have said I do not do running and do not do aerobics so you never know! 😊
