Running moms - clothing

marathonmommy82

I'm still wearing my regular running clothes but I'm starting to get bigger (STM)... I'd like to look for deals but not sure what size/ brands (didn't run during last pregnancy). I don't want to spend a lot of money for clothing that I won't be wearing for very long. Suggestions? Go up a size in regular running clothes? Invest in mat running clothes?

Running gear is expensive so I can understand not wanting to invest a lot for just a few months.  I just got some maternity running gear from Old Navy. For me 5'3 and 120 pre-pregnancy...I wore medium tops pre-pregnancy and ordered the same, they fit great and are loose in the belly area which I love. I ordered shorts with a fold-over waist in a size medium too--based on reviews that they fit tight--however, they are WAY too loose to wear now and I had to return for a small. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

Nope, he's not (he does have some workout shorts but they are WAY too long!)

brookerachelej: I checked ON active -- some cute tops but no running shorts.

mkquinnwedding: I'll keep an eye out for cheap bottoms from RRS.

I second Old Navy. I'm 27 weeks and I can still wear my Nike capris below my belly. Maybe try something like that? Lululemon has some, but they are pricey!

I bought a size up in lululemon and it's been great. they are expensive but they're all I'm wearing for workouts & I figure, 3 kids,,, nine months,,, about three years of wear is acceptable. I have had a bigger challenge with bras! was a 32 b,,, now 34 e!!!

Thanks, ladies I'm still good in my normal running clothes but I'll need bigger shorts (and tops) as I get, well, bigger. I wish Old Navy had running shorts... all I see are terry cloth-ish shorts for now

I'm planning on stealing my husband's shapeless but huge wicking shirts and buying a pair or two of workout capris or shorts, whatever's on clearance on the old navy website when I can't fit myottoms anymore. I'm praying like heck my feet don't go up a size, I'm already too big there

I've always like targets athletic line. Don't know if they have specific maternity fitness clothes but I am still wearing my regular pants so far. I may need to go up a size soon
