One run left this week💪🏻

I actually just got some leggings delivered yesterday and they’re amazing! The sizing is my usual but I went for high waist and tight fit - getting them on was a struggle but once on they are so comfortable and didn’t slip at all during my run!

I wear leggings in my size from LucyLovesLockets they’re fun patterns and fit really well - especially as I’m morbidly obese. No see through sections!

Hello, congrats on getting to week 4! IM a newbie to all this, but I got some cheap-ish running leggings from Sainsbury’s and they’re great. I really like the huge elastic waistband which feels really supportive.

I don’t spend a fortune on mine to be fair but some do seem to get smaller over time 🥴 I haven’t grown so I think it’s due to repeated washing. The thinner, shiny, lycra sort seem to do fine, but some thicker fabrics seem to get tighter and so harder to get on (and off when you’re hot - a bit like the sports bra phenomenon but let’s not get started on that one). I’ve decided, for me, it’s best to buy them to fit comfortably but not tight, if in doubt I go up a size, as I tend to hover between sizes it’s not really a problem, and I get hot when I run so seem to expand anyway (yuk that sounds grosser written down than it did in my head 😝🤣).

Not what you're looking for?
