adidas Running Tights

Whether you're training for a marathon or just enjoy getting in your daily jog, having the right running tights makes all the difference. Look for technical fabrics that wick sweat away from your skin so you stay dry on long runs, or try some compression tights that increase blood flow to your muscles to help reduce fatigue. Tights with mesh panelling behind the knees provide greater mobility and ventilation as your body heats up. For cold weather, choose fleece-lined or insulated tights for jogging to keep your muscles warm. With features like zip ankle cuffs, drawcords and back pockets, our versatile running tights are equipped for any season and distance.

From capris to seven-eighth length to full length, lightweight or insulated, you can find your ideal pair of jogging tights when you shop the adidas collection. Bold prints, colourful designs and reflective details give our tights stylish flair that stands out on the track or trail. Our tights for running are designed for performance, comfort and style. Next time you lace up your shoes and head out for a run, pair them with some adidas tights that are built to go the distance. Browse our collection of running tights today to find the perfect pair for your next workout.

Running Tights Frequently Asked Questions

What is the point of running tights?

Running tights offer a few advantages compared to looser clothing. They create a streamlined profile, reducing friction with air as you run. This is a minor factor for most runners, but for competitive runners or those striving for personal bests, it can make a difference. Some studies suggest that compression tights may improve circulation and reduce muscle fatigue and soreness after a run. The close-fitting nature of tights can help prevent chafing. Running tights aren't for everyone, though. Some runners prefer looser fitting clothing for comfort and air circulation or freedom of movement.

What tights to wear for running?

Running tights made with performance fabrics will wick sweat away from your skin, helping you stay dry and comfortable and reducing chafing. Avoid cotton tights for running, as they tend to absorb sweat and can become heavy and uncomfortable. Running tights should fit snugly but not be restrictive — you should be able to move freely and comfortably. If you like to listen to music while you work out, look for tights with a pocket for your phone. Visit the adidas blog for more intel on choosing athletic leggings and tights.

What's the difference between running tights and leggings?

Running tights and leggings are basically the same thing. For running, make sure whatever bottoms you choose are made with technical, sweat-wicking fabric. Look for performance features like flat seams to minimise chafing, mesh panels for ventilation and integrated pockets for storing essentials like keys or gels. Leggings that are designed for streetwear or studio classes like yoga have more of a focus on style than on durability and comfort in motion.
