The warm weather and lighter evenings have made me think about my summer running attire.
I would feel much more comfortable in shorts but being in my mid 50s and a stone overweight I want something that is loose and a decent length. Just above the knee ideally.
Any suggestions?
you haven't said what you are wearing at the moment, I have long black leggings, they are quite lightweight and I use them all year round. I think you can get them in shorts length,
I have a couple of lightweight sports shirts made of that sweat-wicking material - mens medium size, which means they are quite long making sure no-one can see whether or not my bum looks big in the leggings (it does!)
I wear 3/4 length leggings (but with flared legs) from sainsburys - £8 excellent value but my fleece or yellow fluorescent top has been hiding my backside, plus it has been half dark! I have this horrible vision of everything jiggling even with a T shirt over the top.
Has anyone tried men's shorts with the built in pants??? OMG I can't believe I'm asking this!
I know these aren't above the knee, but I bought 2 pairs recently and they are fantastic, they are very comfy and wash really well and most of all, they don't show lumps and bumps!!!
I got some just below the knee leggings from Tesco for a fiver, and wear a long t shirt so no one can see my behind!
even running in just leggings is a little scary, i mean my joggers are 3/4 length and baggy so they hide my ginormous thighs, but i do get really hot in them. When i was looking on internet for womens running shorts earlier all i could find where ridiculously short shorts which would only look good if you had really nice toned legs ... maybe the answer is finding leggings which arent that thick
Any good recommendations on "running books"? 
Running watch - any recommendations? 
Gents, Running shorts or regular old shorts?
New running shorts
Any advice about running jackets/recommendations?
