FCITC’s September Issue Part II: The Must Have Pants of the Season
#1: Nike Distance Tech Women’s Running Capri Pant
Capri pants are essential for transitioning from summer to fall running. In early fall I wear a long sleeved top and running shorts. When the temperatures drop into the 50′s I switch from shorts to capris. Capris are also great for running in the rain as they don’t ride up. I wore these while running the Fitness/ More Magazine 1/2 Marathon.
Added Bonus: Zippered back pocket for stashing cash and and an emergency snack.
Tip: Look for these at a Nike outlet store. I paid 1/2 price for mine.
Confession: I love these pants so much, I’ve been wearing them for the past three days. In fact I’m wearing them while I write this post and may never take them off.
The Lucy Cross Training Pant not only looks and feels great on, but can be worn for just about any workout. Right now they’re perfect for indoor workouts. However, when the temperatures start to drop into the 40′s I’ll be wearing them for outdoor workouts before transitioning into tights.
Added bonus: An interior pocket for stashing a metro card in the event I get lost. 
Tip: Get on Lucy’s mailing list for online and in-store discount codes. If you live near a Lucy store and are a certified fitness professional, ask about a special discount for Lucy Pros.
A few of you have asked about what to wear in the winter, read How I Dress For Running in the Cold.
*In full disclosure Lucy sent me a pair of Lucy Cross Training Pants to review. This does not in any way effect my opinion about these pants.
I love, luhve, my Nike capris. Amazingly comfy and hold up through anything. Best investment, ever.
I have a pair of Nike Fit Capri’s that I live in!! I am also obsessed with lululemon and wish they were cheaper
Is there a Lucy store in/near NYC?
I love lululemon capris too, but they are too pricey!
There isn’t a Lucy store in NYC. =(
I have those Nike pants, love them! I definitely need another pair of capris and tights once it gets cold though.
I love love Nike capris! Definitely a must in my running wardrobe
I keep searching for more of my favorite Nike capris at the outlet. They haven’t had any! They are the best for fall!
I know, I keep saying that I wish I had bought two pairs at the outlet!
I love my Nike crop pants but REALLY love my Lululemon wunder under crop pants! I also finally bit the bullet and bought a pair of booty shorts for running/yoga! It makes running so comfortable! Will we see you this weekend??
CUTE!!! Now I just need some money!
Oh well. I can dream about the day I get them! I need new running shoes!!! Saved money will go there.
THANK YOU for these recommendations!! I know what you mean…when you find a pair of workout pants that feel great on your skin you never want to take them off. Right now I have a pair of crop pants from Lululemon that I would wear 7 days a week if I could get away with it!
I really want a pair of Lululemon wunder unders. The Lucy pants look cute too!
