IMPROPER FIT CAN LEAD TO PERMANENT DAMAGE
85% of Women Are Wearing The Wrong Bra.  Are You?

Finding the right sports bra is just as important as wearing the right running shoe. Running is a high impact sport so it is important that you purchase a bra with good support.


Bras come in two basic basic designs:

  1. Encapsulated - Bra separate and support each breast in its own cup these are generally regarded as being better for the larger breasted women although it does come down to a personal preference.
  2. Compression - Bra compress the breasts to the body

The breasts need to be held firmly in position to minimize bouncing around which is uncomfortable but more importantly, causes stretching of the Coopers ligament. The Coopers ligament is the only ligament that stops the breast from sagging, and once stretched it is irreversible, sagging breast forever. Not wearing adequate support during exercise could speed up this process that’s why it’s crucial that you get the correct fit. Your bra should feel snug but not tight with no seams that are likely to rub or chafe you. The best sports bras are ones made of technical fabrics such as nylon/lycra mesh.

Fit2Run offers a wide range of sports bras with different levels of support. We carry Moving comfort Fiona high impact for c and d cup to the seamless Sere Bra medium impact for a/b/c cup. We have the New Balance bras medium impact to high impact depending on your cup size. We also carry CWX, Adidas, and Nike encapsulated to compression depending on the style you prefer.
 
Fit2Run’s goal is to carry offer products that help athletes of every level of ability to reach their potential. Come in to Fit2run and get fitted by one of our trained bra fitters.
