Juno by Moving Comfort. http://www.movingcomfort.com Seriously - nothing moves! I have a couple Fiona as well, but they have been through the dryer a few too many times, so I use them for lower impact. My two Juno bras don't get put in the dryer and they are my number one choice for running.

I generally say "Hi", or I smile or give a quick wave. I don't get offended if they don't respond - they might be in their own bubble which I respect. heck, I probably am in my bubble sometimes and don't even see other runners. If the circumstances warrant it, I may even say "Nice day".

I have always heard that running a mile running walking a mile results in the same calories burned. Same for running at various speed. The faster you go, the less time it takes you to walk or run that mile, the less time it takes you to burn the same number of calories. There may be slight differences, but I would not get…

Grocery stores are your friends. Rather than pulling in a convenience store or restaurant at every stop, hit the supermarket. Some Deli counters have healthy options. bean salads, quinoa salads, sushi, etc. Even their sandwiches can be good since it won't come with fries! grab some fruit and pre-cut vegetables to much on…

Every running outfit that is not oversize brings out the hotness! This said, be aware that inner thigh chafing may be an issue even at a very healthy weigh. If you still want the cute shorts (aka bun huggers), then Body Glide will be your best friend. Have fun shopping for cute running outfits!

It is NOT rude! but perhaps you can let them know in advance. depending on your relationship with them, "I am watching what I eat so don't worry about me - I will bring my own". If you think that might make things better, offer to make a salad (or whatever else you can think of) to share. I have a family member who does…

Water! Sometimes, I add lemon slices, oranges slices, cucumber, or even strawberries to give it a bit of a different taste, but most of the time, I am just drinking plain tap water. I never go anywhere without my refillable bottle.

I know lots of 60+ runners who train on consecutive days. It depends on your fitness level, not your age. A 71 yr old runner who is very close to me has been running 2-3 marathons a year for the last 10 years using Hal Higdon training programs (first the intermediate, than the expert) with 5 runs (or is it 6?) a week. I am…

My morning work-outs are usually runs. short run: a banana or a handful of dry cereal (cheerios) and raisins. go easy on the raisins. medium run: maybe a PB/banana/honey sandwich For super long and early runs, I have been known to sent the alarm at 4:00am, have a full breakfast (cereal with milk, yogurt, berries and nuts),…

Juno, by Moving Comfort. Not cheap (about $60 CAD), but definitely worth it if you are DD. Nothing moves. I also have the Fiona, but now I save it for lower impact exercise. For running, I will dig out one of my two Junos out of a dirty laundry basket if I have to. They come in nice colours too.

I prefer the great outdoors, but I often have to run on the treadmill - not by choice. I fight the boredom by varying inclinations and speed just to play mental games with myself. ("in two minutes, I will reduce my speed by 0.5" "four more minutes 'til walking break", etc.). I also devised a contraption to attach my ipad…

I don't think there is a firm rule that says you are supposed to change shoes every 200 miles. I have heard different answers to that question. Personally, I probably buy new shoes every 500 miles or so, and I do keep a running log. You may have to change your shoes earlier depending on your weight, the quality of the…
