Running ladies- sports bra advice??
So, my whole body including my chest has shrunk since surgery. But apparently not enough...I've started the Couch to 5k running program and I have been uncomfortable when running. Can anyone recommend a great, supportive sports bra?? Preferably not very expensive since I still have a fair amount to lose. Thank you!!
Target has a good Champion line that isn't super expensive. I would check that out. I feel upon am ascics brand style that I love at Kohls. They had outlandish colors on sale. Personally I don't care what color my sports bra is as long as I'm supported. I would go try a few on to see what you like best.

I have a few unexpensive Champion sports bras, and I layer a compression tank over the top. I'm not busty, just 34D, so ladies with more generous proportions might need more heavy duty stuff.
I finally found one I really like at Kohl's! It's by Fila, and it keeps the ladies from bopping me in the face. I can usually find good coupon codes for purchases, so they end up being sometimes $15. I just checked and it's called the core essential high impact sports bra. On sale for $19.99, then you can get 20% off.
I run a lot and I need serious support. and I cringe when I see ladies out there bouncing around. Cheap and sports bras just don't go hand in hand.
These are two of my favs and I highly recommend them both:

(this company has AMAZING customer service, at one point, I had 4 different sized bras in my home and I had only paid for one. They were determined to get me a great fit and kept sending me bras until I was happy, even overnight shipping them so I would have one before an upcoming race.)

(if you ask on running forums, this is the brand that is recommended most often for the larger gals).
Moving Comfort/Brooks. The Maia is my favorite. It's not cheap, but you can buy one and wa**** every time. It's worth it - you need a well made sports bra to prevent back and shoulder injury.
