The study tracked the breathing and lung function of elite runners and found that a too-tight bra caused them to take more shallow breaths and consume more oxygen, leading to decreased running economy. Experts recommend wearing a sports bra that offers adequate support without being too tight around the rib cage, emphasizing the importance of proper fit for optimal performance and comfort during exercise.

Runner's World and Men's Health have created a 20-Minute Functional Core program that includes four 20-minute workouts to help runners incorporate core workouts into their training. A strong core is essential for great running performance, and research shows that it can improve energy transfer, motor control, and force. The program targets the abs, glutes, back, and hip flexors, and is available via the All Out Studio app, which is included in the Runner's World+ premium all access membership. Each workout targets the core in a new way, and there are plenty of ways to train your midsection in less than 30 minutes a day.
