Hi, just wanted to say a massive thankyou to all of the people that have come on here and given me support and inspiration . So, I am a good 3 stone overweight . I did my first run on Tuesday and truly thought I was going to die !!! Was almost sure couch to 5k wasn’t for me. Got up at 6am today, had a banana and some water. Put a much better fitting bra on, got my running stuff on and went over the park and did my week 1 r2. It was a million times better today. , I actually did the whole programme exactly how sarah millican told me to😄 I feel so elated, I can’t tell you how proud I am of myself and thankyou again for all of your advice would not have done it without you

I think when you tell yourself 'I can do this ' the run is then made a whole lot better. So it's brilliant you got back out and ran again and it was better this time. Well done you 😊😊

Massive congratulations. Please treat yourself by going to somewhere like bravissimo to be properly fitted for a sports bra. The girls there are fabulous and we have enough to cope with running without 2 obstacles in front of us :) Happy running x

Well done! Keep it going!

I also am heavy chested, cannot recommend getting a good fitting high impact sports bra enough. It completely changed my running experience going in to week 2 when I finally committed and got one.

Bravissimo are good and I got 2 from Fablectics once I knew my size as was buying their leggings with a side pocket. Perfect fit.

Keep it up :D we'll all be here cheering you on!

Good for you! 👍🏻😁

Shock absorber bras are a whole different level of support. Round em up and rope em in and just keep on going! 🤣
