Running Bras

Yes, to get the best performance from running bras, choose not only by size (S-M-L) but, if possible, by cup size (A-B-C-D). Especially if you have a larger cup size, choose "High Support" styles that fully encapsulate the bust and limit movement.

The most fundamental difference is the level of impact absorption. Fitness bras focus more on flexibility and freedom of movement during weight training, while running bras are designed to stop high-tempo bounce. Running bras usually have a firmer construction and wider straps.

To prevent chafing, choose seamless styles or technical running bras with exterior seams. It's also essential that the fabric is made from synthetic performance fibers that wick sweat away from your body quickly.

A running bra usually starts to lose its elasticity within 6 to 12 months, depending on how often you wear it. When the straps loosen or the underband's support decreases, it's recommended that you replace it, as it has lost its impact protection.

Although there are versatile styles you can wear for both fitness and running, high-support designs made specifically for running may be a better fit for regular runners. You can also browse our Fitness Bra collection designed for weight training and functional exercise.
