Whether you're gearing up for a light jog or competing in your first running race, we know how important a well-fitted sports bra can be. The right sports bra can reduce bounce and strain and offer greater freedom of movement for high-impact runs. It can also make the difference between a good run – and a bad one.
We also know that breasts come in all shapes and sizes, and choosing the right sports bra that fits you well is just as important as finding the right running shoes or accessories.
Depending on your breast size and running speed, you should choose one that offers medium to high support, with high support sports bras offering the most support to keep you locked in place. Anything less is unlikely to provide the support you need to run – and stay running.
But with so many to choose from and even more styles to consider (hello zip-up, pull over and back clasp), knowing which one is best for you can be tricky.
So to help, we've rounded up the best sports bras for running, from the most versatile (the great all-rounder) to the most affordable, even the best for larger breasts, all hand-picked by rebel.
