Women's Running Leggings to Get You Moving

Interval training, jogging, cross-country – however you choose to run, there are countless reasons to sing its praises. As a weight-bearing aerobic exercise, running can strengthen bones, improve muscle strength, and help cardiovascular fitness. It also boasts mental health benefits: from simply getting outside and putting one foot in front of the other; to getting those endorphins pumping and gaining a sense of achievement. In times like these, clearing your head and making time for yourself is more important than ever.

Working from home and being chained to a desk can drive people up the wall. One hour a day of locally based exercise meant running was a way to get out of the house. A lot of our customers had changed residence due to the pandemic. Some moved from the city back to their family home due to the pandemic, and the new scenery, if only for a short period of time acted as a lifeline for them. Here's what one of our followers had to say:

"So, starting from square one, I did the Couch to 5K program. It was hard at first, but miraculously each run got a little bit easier and a little bit longer.

As I progressed to three runs a week, I realised that I needed more appropriate running gear: trainers to support my feet and ankles, an anorak for the unpredictable weather, and running leggings. Of course, I wasn't running ultramarathons – nor will I be any time soon, but the short bursts of the interval training-inspired program and the hilly landscape surrounding my home meant my legs and hips were feeling sore."

How Finding the Perfect Running Leggings Can Give You a Leg Up

The right running leggings can give you that little boost. Many of our followers wanted extra support in the form of light compression. High-rise running leggings with seamless edges appeal to runners so that you don't have to contend with designs that dig in. They also offer a leg-lengthening effect which many love, especially capri leggings. Another consideration was visibility on the roads, black leggings with reflective accents or brightly coloured would both be suitable.

Our My Top Choices:

Freestyle Seamless High Waist Leggings

These are recommended for lifestyle, home workouts and gym training, making them a bit of an all-rounder. Designed for optimal movement with seamless knit technology, the lightweight style is perfect for dynamic exercises. You can comfortably wear them to stretch before running and on rest days too. Our favourite style is the blue colourway which really shows off the contoured fit. The high-waist profile also ticks our boxes for running tights.

Electra Seamless Leggings

Again, we've opted for blue running leggings in the form of the Electra leggings. They’re also available in three other vibrant colours if blue isn't your shade. Our customers love that this pair is extra compressive, making them ideal for improved recovery and if you need added leg support (always seek medical advice first if this is an issue, mind.) The seamless design is ideal, although if you want maximum movement, we'd recommend sizing up.

Glow High Waisted Leggings

Switching it up to a vivid watermelon pink, the Glow full-length running tights are one for fashion pundits who expect style to be on par with performance. Crafted from a soft, sweat-wicking fabric, this fast-drying pair offers light compression and a second skin feeling. Meanwhile, A V-tapered back and contrast piping flatter and contour your body's curves.
