Best leggings for running

I went to New Balance and tried on about 5 items and found some.perfect snug one ones (about 25 GBP which still felt a lot!). Also found some Under Armour ones in charity shop which are lovely. Also 80s style shorts :) I feel like you have to go a shopping centre or running shop so you can try lots on. I would not go for a generic shop leisureware range like H&M as they would not have the support needed (for my belly!). High waisted all the way. If I was a millionaire I would wear all lululemon stuff

I'm an 8/10 and need an S in the Sweaty Betty leggings so I guess it might depend on your shape. I am an apple and XS is way too tight across my middle.

Sweaty Betty 7/8 power leggings. I'm 8-10 and get xs

The best gym wear leggings I've ever worn are from Asda. Honestly! I forgot about them now I'm going to dig to the bottom of the drawer and train in them tomorrow!!

I've tried them all sweaty Betty, Nike. My most comfortable and supportive are Asda and I've had them for years.

Sadly chafing & wobble for me too

two words:
chaffing
wobble

one word......chaffing!!

According to my view, better to use some free clothes during running hour, because it may be makes your body free and you can easy to run very freely. Sweating issue is easily handle in the free size cloth. In my group, some females are always prefer free size cloth for running not leggings.

If you want to choose leggings for running, try to use cotton leggings, it will makes your body little free.

The Facebook community page is very useful

You can get Tikiboo cheaper on ebay (and probably other brands too).

Decathlon are good on price.

I like Element Karbon.

Sweaty Betty power leggings. Absolutely amazing and last for years. I run 3 times a week and I'm still wearing the same pair I bought 4 years ago, although now they could do with changing so I might treat myself.

They are tight fighting, hold you in, never had any sagging in rolling issues. Absolutely love them.

I'm a 16 in bottom and wear a large, but XL might be my next size (I used to be a 14!).

I would advise getting both sizes and trying them. The thing with running tights (and other sport clothes) is that different people have different criteria.
For some it's all about the drawstring or the pockets, for others it's about the length or bum coverage, or stretch or how they fit around the waist.

Tikiboo have a sale on at the moment and I'm really tempted by some of the capri style tights with pockets.

Does anyone know how they fit? I've looked at the size chart and I've looked at reviews but they seem very mixed and conflict each other.

I'm 5' 2" and I'm size 8 in most things, but sometimes XS is too small in some brands and S can be too big in others!

I have the sweaty Betty power leggings but I just don’t like them. My fave are highwaisted gap fit leggings. Two side pockets for phone/water pouch/keys etc. Just great for me.

I got some Lululemon's recently and they're brill. Very comfortable, decent thickness, high waisted & don't slip down and good pockets. They were pricey but worth it.

Ronhills. The designs are a bit dull but I always come back to them.

Yy to a drawstring for making them stay up, particularly if the have a phone pocket.

Sweaty Betty here too. Zero Gravity or Power. Just bought another 2 pairs in the sale. Current ones I am wearing look as good as new and are 2 years old.

I have a pair of Rainbows & Sprinkles but don't run in them because they're quite generous sizes, but if I went down a size I think the print would be stretched too thinly across my bum!
Tikiboo and Flanci are both great if you don't mind bright patterns.
Decathlon gear can be very hit and miss, you really need to try it on.
I bought a pair of Sweaty Betty as everyone raves about them but sent them back as I didn't like the fabric (i didn't like the price either, even in the sale!).
My Ronhill leggings were the worst thing I've ever owned.....it really does come down to body shape and how things fit you!

Sweaty Betty. I never need to use the drawstring and they have not lost their shape after 2 years

I’m loving M&S Goodmove. Great patterns, great fit, great support.

I'm a big fan of tikiboos, nice bright designs as well as some plain colours too. Very flattering and supportive, last well and are squat proof! They also have a fab and friendly Facebook community that support each other online and when spotted at runs/races!!

*I have those Aldi ones too!

Must be a good few years old now. I'd forgotten about them until you mentioned, my winter stuff is still all packed away.

They are excellent, extremely reflective. Better than anything else for 2x the price.*

Yes, they're YEARS old now! I have two pairs cos I love them so much.
I'm in a running club and this evening there was a mix of people who've dug out their cooler kit and those hanging on to their shorts and vests!

I now only ever buy Sweaty Better 7/8 power leggings.

They are the best there is imo. And no matter how many times I wash and tumble dry them, they remain perfect.
