    Wear sunscreen if you run while the sun is out at all (even in the winter) at least where I live....skin cancer is dangerous!

    I don't think I'd want my daugther running around in a sports bra and shorts, but at the same time I don't think it's slutty.

    Considering I have to wear roughly three bras anytime I run, I can't wrap my head around this.

    Definitely not slutty, more like practical and sensible. And if you've gotta fab body that you've worked hard to get then show it girl. Mind you here in the UK you might need a jumper and thermal undies when the winter gets going properly!

    If its hot then I want a crop. I am wondering if they are out of fashion and not cool?? I was wanting to buy a good one that has a strappy back and they just seem to be mainly the longer tops singlet style. I have ended up walking then swimming in my sports bra but as I have small boobs I have a padded one and its too hot and then gets too much water in them!!!! And BTW re confidence and crop tops, I still have a fat stomach and I run in them anyway. My theory is anyone criticising me is probably sitting on their big fat butt and not doing anything about it like I am. If anyone has any brand/style/names or websites of where you can get a strappy running top that doesnt have a big band in the middle of the back (or at least a mesh one) I am all ears.

    I live in a conservative part of the country, so I think it would be frowned upon by some.

    I think if it really wasn't a warm place, then maybe I'd have a different opinion. But, seeing as you said you live in a warm country, I think it's perfectly normal - and if you have the confidence to do it - why the hell not!

    At home on my treadmill? Yes! Out in public? No!
    But that's just me, I prefer to fly under the radar a little more if possible when working out.
