Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond to my question. I think this will be a case of trial and error, I'm going to start with the brands that have been suggested. Shorts are the obvious solution but even the thought of getting my legs out when its 2 degrees has me reaching for the duvet!

Thanks again,

V

I should add, I find tights restrictive - 4" seamed shorts suit me in all weathers - if ur running at a half decent pace ul be warm enough.

I have a pair of Skins long tights my fitting band is small and fit ok but they are long in the leg by about 3", I tend to fit them round the heel of my foot.

Hi all,

Just wondered if you have considered the skins range. For both men and woman they have very detailed charts for weight and height. They also discuss woman shapes A or H.  This link may help.

As an example I am 6ft & 85-87kg so I decided on a M not an L but, I was on the border line and they fit well.

I am 5 ft 2 also, and always wear Ron Hill ones. They have a zip pcoket at the back which is always handy!

Nice to see someone else of similar stature (I am 5.3 and 8 stone). I wish I could recommend some, but i just run in shorts, whatever the weather. I hope you find something suitable and sounds like Clark has a good suggestion.

Hello, Can anyone recommend a brand of full length running tights that have an option of leg lengths? I'm only 5ft 2in and the two pairs I currently own are too long. Or can any of the other vertically challenged runners out there suggest something else ? 

Many thanks in anticipation of your repsonse. 

Keep parkrunning !

Victoria.
