Debunking Common Myths About Sports Bras
Experts debunk common myths about sports bras, helping runners make smarter choices for better comfort and results.
Many runners overlook their sports bra or assume it doesn’t impact performance. However, research suggests that a good running bra can help prevent and reduce breast pain.
