Curvy Girls Running Problems

In to see if OP updates that he's successfully helped his sister.

-pokes OP

Hey lol sorry I don't usually check back often, I've been so busy, but there has been a positive. She wound up looking at the links and info I gave her and bought the bras and shoes that she needed.

Needless to say, I have invited her twice a day to see if she wants to go for a walk or jog with me. In the morning I get an angry grumble and a go away. at night I get a "im too tired". I guess she wasted the money if she doesn't want to go, but I'm still hoping she stops being so lazy and comes jogging with me bc it's a nice way to get out of the house.

Jesus dude.

If you don't want to sound like an idiot try not telling women you know their bodies better than they do.

To be fair- if she's complaining about every little thing- then this is just an added on complaint.

If she wants to run- she'll run without making excuses.

yes it CAN hurt. no it doesn't ALWAYS hurt.
Yes having a properly fitted supporting (i.e. not compression only) bra helps.

If I have a compression pull over- it is almost always worn with a regular underwire- if not- I have some that are separate molded cups with underwire- great things. First under wire swim suit I put on I thought I died and went to heaven!!!

And I'm not exceptionally big- I'm only a 34D. But yes- support- vs compression- it makes a difference.

exactly. she likes to complain about her leg, her back, her arm, whatever it takes to get out of doing something she doesn't like to do. She had fun walking the color run this year but said she wants to jog it next year, but I don't think she wants to jog it that bad if she won't even run with me now AFTER i got all of the advice from here and she purchased the stuff she needed that could alleviate some of the complaints whether they were honest or just being used as an excuse.

I hope she changes her mind because I get bored running alone, and it'd be nice to have my sister go with me so I don't have to wear headphones and fear being hit by a car at any point because I can't hear them coming.

Except, it was clarifying if her argument was valid or not, or if it were her using excuses, and if so how could she fix the issue. I wasn't saying I was right, but looking for others to confirm or disagree, and if they disagreed to let me know what I could do to give my sister the information needed to alleviate the problem to be able to go running with me.

Calling people idiots when you assume you know what they mean really makes you look arrogant and ignorant .

You do not have breasts. You were arguing with a woman who does have breasts that her complaints about her breasts are invalid and just an excuse. She's the expert in this field, you are not.

Here's what you do when a woman is talking about her body. You agree with what she's saying. Because you're not her and you're not her doctor. Telling her how her body feels makes YOU look arrogant. That's what I'm explaining to you. You may not like the fact that you did something stupid, but don't get mad at me for pointing it out to you. Like a whole bunch of other people did in this stupid thread that should NEVER have been resurrected in the first place...

Resurrecting the thread was not my doing for one. And I did not tell her how her body feels. I was arguing with her that she was using an excuse to get out of running with me, which in part it was. In an ability to fix this, I wanted to conclude what the right answer was so I wasn't just being ignorant or naive in something I did not know anything about. You can continue your assault of calling me stupid, or an idiot, because it may make you feel better, but I could care less because all in all the people in this thread that DID help me and offer me the correct answers and insight make comments as rude and abrupt as yours null and void. Thanks for the positive insight.

I posted this in the beginning of the thread but it worth a read if you didn't read it.

Then decide how you'd feel about running with any extra 10lbs on your chest at that speed.

i actually did read, that and thank you. It definitely added a lot of insight into the way I was thinking and I realized that it wasn't just an issue she was having but one that a lot of women do face. I hope she goes running with me soon so she can see if the stuff she bought does help her, I'd like to have my little sister cross the finish line with me next year jogging rather than walking, which will mean quite a lot to both of us.

Put it this way- I can swim for *hours* without any problems. I can on an exercise bike for an hour without any problems. I can walk for 5-10 miles without any problems. I can't run for 5 minutes. I'm a 34GG.

lolol i think that may be her issue as well. I might just opt for going on walks instead so she can at least get something going for endurance. I will try the biking actually. I never even thought of that since I haven't ridden a bicycle in years, she may enjoy that more and may be easier on her than the stress from running on the road.
