I don’t want to even… + copying my sissy.

I am currently in the hunt for a new sports bra. My friend and I were talking about it in our run this morning. I recently got measured and apparently my boobs are 34E now abs that’s a strange size.

I wish I liked to lift. I fee like if I have 45 mins to work out, I want to run.

When I trained for the NYC marathon, it rained every long run I had. POURED. Race day was perfect t weather and I joked I didn’t have enough experience running in the sunlight to do well.

Have a great day!

Hey there! I still run in my nursing sports bra, even though I barely nurse my baby anymore. I bought it at H&M about 2 years ago, and it’s better than I thought! I will look into the one you recommend though!

I like strength training and it has helped my to get stronger (duh..) and faster, but at the moment I don’t have the time for it, so I stick to running.

We get a LOT of rain! If it’s not too bad, I’ll just run in the rain.

How is your nephew doing? He’s gone for two years, right? Is it possible for family to visit him, or is that unusual?

I prefer sports bras that pull over with no clasps. I also prefer something with padding too where I am so small chested. The only one I have with a clasp digs into me & annoys me. I might try a higher end one though like the one you shared and see how I like it. Nothing worse than having to adjust your clothing while running.

The kids are looking so grown up. Glad they like their teachers, that makes going to school so much better for everyone. Brooke’s outfit looks like something I’d wear. Do you have a link to her shirt?

Have a great day!

These links are dangerous. I love copying you…….and now sissy.

I own mostly Oiselle sports bras now. And they all need to be compatible with my Koala Clip!
I need to check out your glute routine. I do strength in run workout and long run days. Ouch!

I’ll skip the first question if that’s ok.

After doing all the PT for my rotator cuff I decided I needed to totally change up my strength training game. I did tons of research and finally decided to use a resource I already had -.a book called Running Rewired by Jay Dicharry.
https://www.amazon.com/Running-Rewired-Reinvent-Stability-Strength-ebook/dp/B07BZX9FV8/

It has a good combination of strength and functional mobility exercises (jumps/crawls/burpees/Etc..).
I do a Precision Workout now as a warm up to a cardio workout and then get in 2 Performance Workouts a week.
So, my week would look like this:
Monday – Precision Workout – 3 mile run
Tuesday – Performance Workout – 30 minutes spin bike
Wed – off
Thursday – Precision Workout – 12 miles cycling
Friday – Performance Workout
Saturday – Precision Workout – long run/ride
Sunday – off

I also sub in or add my rotator cuff PT exercises into the Running Rewired circuits. I think the functional type exercises will really help me out (being 56 years old).

As you know, I live in the Pacific Northwest, so yes to running in the rain.

I’m pretty busty and while I still need a little strategic body glide I do really love my She Fit high impact bras for running. They are pretty much max support which I strongly prefer!

Love running in rain, I’m in the PNW. But what about wildfire smoke? Do you have a cut off for air quality? It’s gotten better here but I wonder if I’m making excuses on those days or really should be doing my like 10 minutes of body weight strength :)

Good morning Janae! LOVE your sister’s jacket! Is it ventilated? I’ll still run if its a light rain, but I’ll wait and hope for better if its pouring. I’m really particular with sports bras- I need a lot of support and I chafe like crazy. I used to love Brooks Rebound Racer, but since it’s been discontinued, I’ve been having luck with the All In Motion racerback from Target. There’s an absolute ‘NO’ to the zipper front types- they tear me up- even that super expensive brand with all the velcro. As for strength training, I’m not a fan, but I’m trying to be better because I know it’s important if I want to keep injuries at bay. But I’ll be honest…I do the bulk of my strength training at home because I find that area of the gym intimidating. I probably shouldn’t, but at the gym I go to all the the weight stations are right in front and backed by a wall of mirrors. And all the cardio machines face the front, so it’s like lifting in a fishbowl…

Hi Janae!!
I don’t need a lot of support, so my pick is whatever is most comfortable for the least amount of money. I also prefer ones you pull over your head than ones with clasps. A thing that drives me absolutely bonkers is if my socks slide down into my running shoes!! If I’m caught up on laundry (ha!) and my good running socks are clean, no problem. But, sometimes a girl can’t always stay on top of “Mt. Wash-more” as I “affectionately” refer to the laundry.
I like both strength training and cardio; which I prefer usually depends on mood or whether I’m training for a race. If I am training, then I usually run first to make sure I get that in and strength train after. Scheduling is sooooo hard! Sometimes it’s hours between the two if I do them on the same day.
Holy cow, we have had so MUCH rain this summer! I’ll run in the rain if it’s not absolutely torrential and if there is no thunder & lightning. I’ve certainly been on plenty of runs where it started pouring buckets after I’m already out there and then you just gotta do what you gotta do. As they say…you can’t pick the weather on race day!
Have a wonderful rest of your day!!

I am usually pretty small chested. Im nursing now, so I am now a full A or small B so still relatively small, but I can feel them while running and it’s made me feel very lucky to be a part of the IBTC. Funny story I once was running on the treadmill in college and thought something felt off and realized I was running in my normal bra. While it wasn’t comfortable, I just kept going with my run. I do like the Sweat & Milk nursing/pumping sports bras lately though!
I hate when I have on a tank top that keeps riding up (I have a long-ish torso) or pants that slide down!
We barely get any rain, but this summer has had more rain than in the past which is really nice! Last year I think it only rained 4 times all summer! My husband has been traumatized by running in the rain. We once did a race where it was drizzling the whole time and he was wearing a water resistant jacket and not water proof so he ended up getting chaffed nipples. Not as bad as Andy Bernard from the Office lol but afterwards if he was running a half marathon he had to put band aids over them so they wouldn’t bleed.
