Think I'm hooked!

After a boring training day at work I spent my journey home umming and erring whether I could be bothered to pull on my two sports over the shoulder boulder holders (yes two) and the rest of my running gear. I'm so chuffed to say I did and I've just done W4R2 with ease (what's that about?) - think I'm now hooked!!! Thank you C25K as although I'm not losing weight I'm changing shape and feeling so much happier!

What sports bras are you using?? Surely you should need one or it will get quite hot??? X

I just feel more secure with two! It means that I know only my bum is wobbling as I run along! X

It doesn't matter how many bras you use or how much you wobble - just that you are out there running. Good on you!

Made me smile, that was one ofy Dad's favourite expressions when he ever needed to speak to me about bras (which wasn't often, thankfully! ) Being in the well endowed end of the spectrum I recommend shock absorbers, they're very supportive but a bit mono-booby, but better that than black eyes/bruised knees! ;-)

Glad you're enjoying the program, it's the best thing I have done for years! :-)

For a minute there I thought I was going to have to go to Kwim Fit for a fitting! Will have a look for one this weekend I think. Just need to work out what to do for the bum wobble! Lol. X

Not being a 'lumpy jumper' myself I can't really comment, but as I have quite pronounced 'moobs' due to hormore imbalance, I can appreciate that you want the support, but my wife is a firm believer that one really good sports bra is all that is needed or you get very hot and sweaty. I must admit that I do wear a bra myself as I do wobble all over the place and it hurts!! :~( If you see a bald, 50 year old struggling with straps whilst running, just ignore me and carry on - I will master these devices yet!

I have tried compression tops, but I find those are too restrictive.

Good luck, and long may your addiction last!

Happy running.

OK, this is the moment I admit to wearing big, tight pants to stop the 'other' wobbles, but have to be careful as to which trousers I wear as one pair slides down when I run and it can never be too dark in the morning for this to be ignored!

Hahahaha - I loved this conversation thread. I don't know about the bum wobble (don't think there are bras for bottoms) but for the top half - Bravissimo are wonderful with an excellent fitting service too. Give them a go :)

Not what you're looking for?
