Running Leggings with Pocket

Start with fit and pocket placement: look for a snug, high-waisted style with a wide waistband that stays put, plus pockets sized to hold your phone, keys, or energy gels securely. From there, choose a length and fabric that suits your run, and look for details like flatlock seams to minimize chafing on longer distances.

This comes down to temperature and preference. Full-length leggings give more coverage and warmth for cooler runs, 7/8 lengths hit just above the ankle for a breathable middle-ground, and crop or capri styles keep you cooler on warm-weather routes. Our collection includes full-length, 7/8, and crop options so you can match the length to your workout.

Styles with a secure side pocket or a wide waistband pocket tend to hold a phone most reliably during a run. Many of our PowerSoft and StudioSmooth pocket leggings feature side or waistband pockets designed to keep your phone in place while you move.

A high-waisted or extra-high-waisted design with a wide, supportive waistband is the key to leggings that stay up. Choosing the right size and a fabric with good stretch and recovery, like our PowerSoft styles, also helps the leggings stay secure through every stride.

Look for moisture-wicking, breathable fabric that keeps you dry and helps regulate temperature during intense workouts, along with plenty of stretch for freedom of movement. Flatlock seams and a wide waistband add comfort and reduce chafing on longer runs.

These are different Old Navy fabric families offered across the collection, each with its own feel and support level, and Boundless styles are often designed with no front seam for a smooth look. Choosing between them comes down to the handfeel and coverage you prefer, so comparing a few styles side by side can help.

These leggings are designed with running in mind, but they work well for gym sessions, treadmill runs, and everyday active wear thanks to their stretch, support, and secure pockets. For more choices, browse our full range of women's activewear pants and leggings.

Old Navy activewear leggings are offered in an inclusive range, typically from sizes 00–30 and XS–4X, so you can find a supportive fit. For non-workout styles, you can also explore our broader selection of women's everyday leggings.

If you're shopping for the whole family, we offer activewear built for active play too. Check out our girls' activewear for leggings and workout pieces designed for younger athletes.
