Hello - had great racing shoe recommendations a while back (got lunaracers and they are great )
Anyway now I am struggling with kit - I especially need some new shorts as they are currently falling down, but I've found that very few shops stock a 6 and I really need to try them on because I want the tight short style (like the addidas ones).
Anyone know of places in London that stock women's extra small sized gear? I'm off up to Bradford this weekend so I will try the big running shop there but last time they only had 1 thing in my size (I needed long joggers then) which were the nike's xsmall size, so I really need to find a shop with regular stocks!
I see plenty of skinny runners out on embankment so you must be getting your gear somewhere!!!
What is it with shops not really stocking the smaller sizes , they always have tons of large stuff - its not fair.

You have GOT to be joking! What did you consider to be large? Every running shop I've ever been in has had a STACK of XS stuff and nothing bigger than a size 12!
I did once consider starting a company called "FAT GIRLS RUN TOO" because at the time I LITERALLY had nothing to wear....
I guess your problem is just at the opposite end of the scale to where mine was, so I do sympathise though.....
But as you're a skinny, not too much.....
Hahahaha sorry LB
(I used to be a 10/12 before I took up running but slowly the weight has been dropping off - not my fault I am now a super skinny )
I blame my mother.....
Its the German genes!
And possibly the wine
How did i manage to get bigger after I started running
guess it must be all the jelly babies and wine gums
sorry can't help with the gear though. You could always order online and send things back if they are too big.
I've just eaten 5 donuts if that makes you feel any better!
I'm finding it hard to find any shorts online in my size too - weirdly Next seem to have a few bits in their sportsgear section but none of the type of shorts I am looking for *ho hum*
I actually haven't been on the scales recently I'm just guessing I'm heavier. Haven't noticed my clothes falling off unfortunately!
I'm after some of those shorts too, if I see any I will let you know. To be honest I haven't started looking yet as i am still in my long thermals
Skinny sweaty girls eating donuts
Big girls wearing shorts munching wine gums
German girls with nothing to wear drinking wine
This has gotta be the hottest thread there's been for years!!!
Drat - I got sensible answers when I asked about shoes...
What did I do wrong this time??
You asked on Friday evening
Edit: by the way Curly, I'm sure you're worth more than one , but that's just the way the dynamic of the post went
Curly look at the Ronhill childrens range, one of the slimmy's down my gym wears it,
Might be suitable for you. (ive no idea about womens sizes)
No offence meant, trying to be helpfull
What's with the "Hmmmm...... ???" Come on - what's on your mind?
Hi Curly 45
Im 4'10 and size 6/8 very petite lmao all sorts of probs re clothing and shoes, I tend to buy triathlon gear as theres loads out there in a size 6... and the items fit a lot better and cling in the right places. New balance (running) are a very small fit I buy an 8 in them, quintanroo do a 6, 2XU are a very small fit too youl need to look on charts for sizing tho....
I also find that kiddies adidas shorts fit well. I'm 5ft 7 (plus another half inch which is very important to me!) and don't have any probs with the length as I would have expected.
I'm currently running in karrimor trousers tho and they would be way more comfortable if I could have got a smaller size. They're an 8 which I thought would be fine but they're pretty flappy which is surprising as I have a sturdy set of thighs on me!!
Thanks for all the help guys
I finally got some shorts at sportshoes in Bradford - acsis extra small which are a size 6/8 (and only £9.99) and perfect for now...if I lose any more weight I'll be into the childrens stuff have a scout around
