Morning everyone..........am feeling like a freak! As you know my running is Gonna Start Anyday Now! SO.........I went into Sports & Ski/soccer (yahboo to Borehamwood), to find some joggers. They have a sale - starting at £3.49 upwards - great, just my kinda budget.
Oh dear, all I asked was "do they have a pair of long ones, pref 34" inside leg. THREE assistants looked at me blankly and mumbled, dont know, not sure, 'ladies ones' are upstairs! Grrrrrr....asked again - "Is there a particular make, maybe, that are known to be longer than average"?.........More vague mutterings and "We dont know". Five minutes 'customer service' continued with not an ounce of anything useful followed. Steam gradually whistling out of my ears, I say, "doesnt anyone here know ANYTHING about the products you are selling??????" Was again suggested I try the 'ladeees' section upstairs (to get rid of me), so I said, even less point looking there cos there'll be even shorter!
Proof, once again, in public of course, that I AM a freak! PLEEEEEASE someone tell me where/what make joggers I can get that will actually touch somewhere near my ankles if the moons in the north-east,with Uranus pending and Jupiter rising (& maybe a chill wind coming from t'Baltics?????

I buy jeans from them with 34" inside legs (they also do 36") - haven't bought their sports gear so don't know how good it is -but might be worth a look
(from someone with a 28" inside leg)
I look like Norah Batty gone wrong in running tights!
and unless trousers are straight legged it's a bit of a b*gger to try and shorten them!
3/4 trousers are long on me!
I used to run with a friend who was tall and skinny - we wore the same size tracksters - mine were lycra tight too long; his were baggy and too short!
Duck girl - funny you say that about Concurve as I was going to say they were good for short-legged people! Weird!
I'm with CdK - wee short legs, my running tights form wrinkles round my ankles and I spend a fortune on having trousers shortened. I dream about having long slim legs instead of my little chubsters.
AND I have short arms too - all my tops have to have the cuffs turned back.
I'm forever folding the loose bits up at the bottom of my run tights.
Capri pants are also good, M&S view from stop just below the knee for me, and they look like they were made that way! Long Tall Sally do one style of gym pant, not tried them yet. I bought 2 pairs of cottony type gym trousers for work from there last year 36 inside leg, and both shrank.......one of them to just 32 inside leg, bit rubbish really. LTS are just too expensive.
You're not a freak by the way, it's just the rest of the world who are midgets :0)
Mini-mouse on heat? No wonder I need to run in the dark!
Of course that's just generalisation and might not actually apply to you! Good luck finding a pair to fit!
I have a 36" inside leg..
