    Sports bras?
    What are the best ones for high impact support?

    I am a newish runner - started with the Couch to 5k last year and have been continuously increasing my distances, just completing my first half marathon, but I just can't find the right sports bras for the longer distances.

    Thanks!

    Hi!

    There's a thread here for female runners and LOADS of posts are about sports bras (& shorts - the shorts queries were me :))

    Thanks!
    Also need shorts for next summer (I alternated between two this Summer and I'll be lucky if they make it past the Spring)

    Sports Bra - Juno, Moving Comfort.

    Shorts - depends on the style you like, I'm not comfortable in short shorts, I like a bit of longer length, I love these Asics ones, really comfortable https://www.asics.com/gb/en-gb/7in-short/p/154263-0904.html?

    7 inch shorts. You legend!

    You just know that no woman (or certainly no woman who actually runs) is involved in the design of all the short shorts.

    I like short shorts! (I get so warm running that the less of me covered the better, and in wet, wintry Irish weather, I think tight shorts are more comfortable that loose ones.)

    But the more lengths available the better :)
