Let's get real and talk about boobs for a minute. When you're out on a run, the last thing you want to think about is them bouncing around, causing discomfort. And it's not just for a run but for any kind of heart-racing, fast-paced workout. How can you focus on hitting a personal record or keeping your pace if you're in some kind of pain because your sports bra isn't supporting you?

Well, it helps to keep in mind that not every sports bra is created the same. Some are made for runs, HIIT, and other quick cardio workouts. Others are made for yoga, barre, and low-intensity exercises. So you'll want to choose one based on what type of physical activity you're going to do.

Luckily, there are so many options for running. Take a look at some of our favorites below.

Zella is a favorite brand on THE/THIRTY, and this high-neck sports bra from the brand doesn't disappoint. It has a compressive fit and is bounce-controlling. Plus, it's also got a cutout in the back so you can get some air.

You know that with a name like Run Times, this sports bra is specifically designed for running. The sweat-wicking bra is super comfortable and customizable with padded and adjustable straps and a hook-and-eye closure.

With medium-impact support, this sports bra is made for running and training. The seamless style has wide straps and is made of moisture-wicking fabric.

The Paloma bra is the most supportive one in Girlfriend's lineup. And like all of the brand's activewear, it's made from water bottles (11 to be exact).
