Running the school run

[MotherForkinShirtBalls]

I'm trying to get fitter and will be running plodding the school run twice a week. I usually wear running tights and a high vis running jacket when I go for my evening jog but I feel very exposed hanging around the playground with my arse on display before anyone's had their morning caffeine hit. Can anyone recommend any longer running tops or looser fit running leggings?

I do the school run in my running gear. If I'm feeling self conscious, I wear shorts over my leggings. Other mums also show up in work out gear.

Men's running shorts tend to be a bit baggier and longer.

I also do the school run in my running gear on some days. I don't ever notice what other parents are wearing, don't let it bother you what people may think.

Get al ightweight men's hoodie that will cover your arse in the playground then tie it round your waist when you set off?

I know, I know, I shouldn't care what anyone thinks and I barely notice what anyone else is wearing (unless I want to copy it!) but younger dc is too young to drop and go so I do feel slef conscious in my leggings. I'll see if I can find shorts for over the leggings or a hoodie, thanks. And I'll keep an eye out for looser leggings!

They're not easy to find but a skapri would do the job.

Oh, that would be great, Molton, thanks! I'll have a look.
