You Probably Don’t Know What Makes a Running Bra Best for You. Here’s a Detailed Breakdown.

Choosing the Perfect Running Bra

A good sports bra can make every run better, but a poorly fitting one can be frustrating. To find the perfect running bra, it's essential to consider several factors.

First and foremost, look for the highest possible support. Running is a high-impact sport, and sports bras are usually marked as supportive for either low, medium, or high-impact activities.

A 2023 research by Frontiers in Sports and Active Living Journal has shown a 7 percent improvement in running economy in runners using high- over low-support sports bras.

In addition to support, pay attention to the architecture of the bra and how it feels overall.
