Running gear

[realhousewifeofdevoncounty]

Starting to get back into running after having dd and I can't for the life if me fund my running leggings! Also can't remember where I bought them. Can anyone recommend some? Cropped I prefer, I am a size 12-14 and i'dline them to be flattering with a pocket or two fir doorkey etc. Also running tops? Shirt sleeve preferably, don't like vests. Am a size 12 on top. Also.... I have lost the wristwatch part of my hrm but still have the chest strap. The one I had was old and ver basic, but I'm guessing now I'd like one that does more, maybe even with gps etc? Anyone have any advice?

Sorry, I meant FIND my running leggings!

God please forgive me the typos on that post! Phone is a nightmare and it's early!

Tk maxx have cheap running gear. I find i have to try on about a dozen items to get one to fit /flatter as the sizes and styles are so different.

Youll pay about £ 10-12 for t shirts and 12-15£ for leggings IME

But no good if you want a fully co ordinated set in this years colours /styles etc

Yeah I was in there the other day but all they had were some very flimsy full length ones that made me look like a wobbly sack of spuds! I'll keep trying though, thanks!

I like 3/4 length, tight capris made of proper 'wicking' fabric.

I get them from Nike store in Oxford Street or Adidas in John Lewis. I have some Ron Hills which I like, but they were ££££ iirc.

I always just check out sales for technical gear.

I agree that flimsy material leggings are not flattering.I have some Ron Hill tracksters that make me look like I have a ferret fight going on in my pants.

The last lot of good technical tops I saw were in the Millets sale for a fiver.

I tend to buy all my stuff from Sports Direct - the store, not online. I have a couple of tops which I have been wearing (and washing) for at least two years and they still look brand new. The prices are fab.

Also weirdly Aldi and LIdl have running kit in now and again. Aldi had some this week - but didn't have any mediums left.

Thanks supernanny, just checked out sportsdirect website and may risk it and order some off there.
