9 Christmas Running Leggings | Celebrating in Style

1shares

Maybe it’s because it’s been a crazy year, maybe it’s because Brooks Running makes awesome holiday shoes now; I feel the need for Christmas Running Leggings.

I was Forrest Gump for Halloween and now I just want to be happy, holly and jolly for some miles this winter too!

In case that’s up your alley as well, I went digging and here’s what I found!

Best Christmas Running Leggings

For me a good tight needs to stay put while running, but lots of these aren’t going to be the best running gear ever (few notable exceptions). Since we aren’t looking for these to be worn 12 months out of the year, I’m not always looking for the most durable tight or running leggings with pockets.

You’ll notice some are straight up Ho Ho Ho and some you can turn in to an holiday running outfit then wear again.Christmas Running Leggings

Listed in order of price so you can decide if it’s a great one wear option or something longer term!

And pictured in order above!!

Elf or Santa Leggings ($17)
Listen these aren’t listed as for working out, but they are polyester and spandex…so basically what most of your gear is. I’d just check sizing to make sure they’ll be tight enough to stay up, but for the price a fun one day outfit!

Holiday Lights Workout Tights – ($23)
Listed as an athletic fit and dry fit…what more can you ask for in your holiday gear. Probably a lot, but these seem like a great cheap option to enjoy the run without worrying you’ve started to sag.

Red/White Striped – ($29 sale)
Turn yourself in to a candy cane with these fun tights!

Grinch – Stink Stank Stunk – ($29)
I LOVE these and am thinking of getting the shirt over the pants. I’d say these would become after your holiday run something you pull on around the house!

✅Gone for a Run Performance Capris – ($39)
We know they’ve made these truly for running and they even have a PHONE pocket. There are a ton of styles from elf leggings to ugly holiday sweater.

Snowflake Capris – ($45)
Not dealing with the cold? Awesome, these printed capris will brighten up your wardrobe without overheating you.

Lululemon Red Word High Rise Crop
You’ll have to keep checking because these keep selling out. But they remind me of wrapping paper…and yet they actually aren’t holiday specific so I’d wear them year round! Red is said to impact your brain and make you run faster…love!!!

Metallic High Waisted Leggings – ($70)
You can turn yourself in to an ornament and then enjoy these silver (or gold) running leggings the rest of the year with a muted top. In fact, these would work with this years Brooks Running Ugly Sweater shirt. I have the one from a few years ago, it’s very thin and I just layer it on cold days.

✅Nike Metallic Run 7/8 Leggings – ($85)
Another splurge option, but man you are going to feel like a bad ass year round in this! Personally, I’m a fan of their tights. They fit well and don’t fall down, so I can just keep going.

These articles aren’t good for me, I just want more gear!

Holiday Running Accessories

Maybe you’ve decided you don’t need the leggings, but what something fun…or maybe you want to take it all up a notch?!! A few more ideas:

  • Holiday Compression Socks
  • Elf Tutu
  • Brooks Running – Run Merry Beanie

Holiday Compression Socks

Looking for other gear reviews? A few that might help:

  • Best sports bras
  • Best HR monitors (from watches to straps)
  • Best Running Watch
  • Best running socks

Amanda Brooks : Run Coach
5 RUN COACHES 😱When I started RTTF in 2007 and 5 RUN COACHES 😱When I started RTTF in 2007 and went full time, including coaching in 2012, I didn’t even have the dream I’d grow to a team of 5 running coaches.

Crazier to know we’ll add 1-2 more coaches this year🥳🥳 It thrills me to my core that we’re helping runners:
👍Train smarter
🥳Enjoy their running
💪Get stronger
🤩Hit PRs
🤕Comeback from injuries
🤗Keep running healthy long after 40!
//
These coaches all care as deeply as I do about who they work with and have different experiences which mean we all learn from each other to be better coaches!
.
Beyond coaching certifications:
@lexilynne was a collegiate runner with a passion for women running healthy.
🏃‍♀️
@_kvfit trains people in person at a gym, she knows form!
🏃🏽‍♂️
@swensurfers has done more ultras than most of us have done normal races.
🏃🏾
@eatwell.runbetter is a registered dietitian with a focus on runners!
//
A large portion of my time is spent inside the Virtual Run Club, which makes this team so important to give runners that 1-1 personalized guidance.
//
Have you ever worked with a coach or personal trainer?

3️⃣HIP MOBILITY MOVES - I love that mobility i 3️⃣HIP MOBILITY MOVES - I love that mobility is a word we’re hearing A LOT because it’s so much more useful than the static stretching most grew up with.
.
In mobility we are working on the end range of motion.
.
🤗As a runner that means ensuring your hips can fully extend through the push off and pull up the knee in front of you for a powerful stride.
.
😢Lack of mobility can place strain on other muscles and joints and we all know we don’t want that.
//
HIP FLOW
2 rounds of 10 reps per side (or just do them once and I’ll dance for joy!)
.
1️⃣Elevated Twist - Put something soft below your bottom knee. You can also do this standing by putting your leg in a pigeon pose on the counter.
2️⃣Kneeling Rock - what you do with your arms is optional, but I love the goal post arms for a chest stretch too.
3️⃣Angeled Bird Dog- After extending arm and leg, try bringing both to 90 degrees without dropping. You can definitely see where I’m working on that full opening of my hip.
//
Let me know how this one goes!!

PICK A SUPERMARKET SWEEP STORE?? If you could run PICK A SUPERMARKET SWEEP STORE?? If you could run through any fitness type store for 90 seconds and get to keep what you grab, what store???
//
Do you go @lululemon crazy? Remember you can only get 5 of one item? But mmm all my favorite run shorts are there...
.
Do you think big at @rei? Though I imagine it might take all 90 seconds to get that SUP back to the counter.
.
Me? I’d head in to @runnersroost! I mean running shoes are priority one, then tops and maybe a watch ya know!
//
Ok your turn!! Pick a store! #dreamreallyfreakingbig #supermarketsweep
LIFES A BEACH...except when it’s sand dunes next LIFES A BEACH...except when it’s sand dunes next to a mountain range. Then it’s just confusing 😂 and a hard, but awesome workout. 
.
Which feels exactly like my start to the year with running.
//
What emoji best describes your recent workouts??
🤦‍♀️Errr not happening
😀Doing what I can
👍Having fun, consistently sweating
🔥Fired up to achieve big things
//
While I had a good 10K time trial on the 2nd and I’m rocking some hard core workouts, I’m missing my longer runs. The legs just haven’t been feeling it though and I’ve been tired.
.
A good reminder to us all that when adding intensity and new strength, it’s ok not to be hitting big miles. I’ll keep building slow and steady.
//
Photo throwback from a visit to the Great Sand Dunes.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Do you look at those Buzzfeed WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Do you look at those Buzzfeed stories to see what childhood idols are doing now…this is my runner life version.
👇👇👇
Have you always loved running? Recently found it? Still trying to love it?🤔
//
🔴Guaranteed no one would have guessed I’d become a runner.
In fact, they flat out told me I was not a runner. I was athletic, but not a runner.
🟣By high school I only ran as punishment at practice or once a year when they timed us in the mile for PE.
//
🛹🛼On the flipside, stayed out late under the streetlights playing tag  for hours or I could joyfully go in circles around the yard with my big old Collie. 
.
FUN. IT WAS FUN!!!! 
.
💡Turns out that’s all it really took for me to like running. To find out that it could in fact be FUN:
👉to challenge myself
👉to see what I’m made of
👉to have time to think
👉to explore the world
✅and never worry about proving anything to anyone
//
I never would have imagined going from hating a mile to running 31 solo last year just because I wanted to see if I could 😂
