I need to invest in some decent running shoes and a good sports bra - can anyone recommend any or know which get the best reviews?
Thank you :)

I would suggest a Nike sports bra and also puma for shoes they have a comfortable sole and extra support in the heel!

Everyone has a different gait and therefore requires different shoes: the best thing to do is go to a store that specializes in running shoes and supplies. They can analyze your gait and help you pick shoes that are suitable for you.

As for sports bras, I just bought a cheap four-pack of Hanes sports bras and they've worked out fine for me. Even while I was nursing my son, they were great. I've had them over a year now and they're still holding up nicely.

I've just bought a Freya sports bra from bravissimo. It's brilliant! It's actually sn unerwired one and doesn't look that different from a conventional bra. So comfortable and keeps everything nicely where it should be!

I love my Nike running shoes, it's best to have your gait assessed. If you are more generously proportioned on top, I swear by the Enell bra. It is a hook front closure, no underwire, wicking material, and the ladies don't move AT ALL. Traditional sports bras have not worked well for me, and I have had my Enells for three years, they look brand new, even though I run/work out in them weekly.
