I have some three quarter running leggings but they've started to rub on the backs of my knees.  So I was wondering where I could buy some full length running leggings? but I don't want to pay a fortune.

I like Nike ones -they come in all sorts of fits, lengths and styles. I choose the 2/4 length ones, but they do longer oens too -flare and skinny.

I've had a pretty decent pair of nike running leggings too.  Mine were just below my knee though and they had a handy little zipped pocket at the back and they fit my house key perfectly! haha

I've got a pair of Nike's too that go just below the knee and they're great to run in - I wish I'd bought a pair with a zip pocket though - last time I went on a jog, I had to tuck my key into the waistband - not particularly comfy...

Haha I know it's really annoying isn't it.  It only just fits my house key in though and now I need a zip for my ipod and then it's all good!

You'll have to find a super stylish bumbag Helen ;)

I find an arm band better for my ipod (nano), the earphones tug more in a pocket. I've got a little clip on MP3 player though which is brilliant, it's so much easier to place for running! It's OK for a limited playlist, just not ideal if you like to flip through your music a lot.

i just put my ipod etc in my pocket - it's got a zip so nothing comes out. Just take minimal stuff.

I hate my i pod headphones for running. I like the bigger headphones, that go over your head, but then I struggle to run with those. Does anyone know of any headphones that are good for running?

I like sennheiser headphones - these are the ones i use and I love them http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PMX-70-Sport-behind/dp/B000FJD5IA/ref=tag_stp_s2_edpp_url

Thanks Fielder2011, they do look good. Might have to give them a go

Ah yeh the armbands look really good!  might have to get one of them actually and maybe a waterproof case by the looks of todays weather

I've ordered some!

Yeah that'd be really handy - I've just been holding mine, so that would be a lot easier.

Laura, has your armband thing come yet?? I wanted to know if it was worth the purchase :)

Posted 26.06.12, 11:10am

Yes it has. I took it on my run last night and it was so much easier - highly recommended

Oh great! where did you get it from?  Is it waterproof?

Posted 27.06.12, 9:50am

I got it off Ebay. It's this one :) http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/170799289432?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla

And i think it is waterproof too :)

I ran in the rain last night and, needless to say, I got a bit soggy! Any tips for women's waterproof running gear? I don't want to get too hot or sticky wearing a jacket. My poor trainers took a beating too! :-(
