Happy Friday! This morning I did a 3.1 mile run aka 5K to keep my legs loose. I have another long run scheduled for tomorrow so I didn’t want to do too much (even though my training plan calls for 6 today and 20 tomorrow – who does that?!).
This morning I tried the Max-Support Sports Bra Champion sent me as part of their Ambassador program. This bra is meant to be used for high impact activities like running. You may check out an easy-to-use online pepper size chart here to help you find your ideal size in just a few clicks.
I always wear 2 sports bras when running, because I hate any boob bouncing! But, I usually only buy the cheap kind of sports bras. So today I just wore this one to really test it out.
It has a clasp back, which made it fit like a glove.
I only did 3 miles so I still want to take this out for a long run, but I am happy to report that I was bounce free!
Breakfast was an over easy egg and toast. One side with butter, one with stevia and cinnamon.
Why did I only make 1 egg?! Who eats 1 egg?! I wanted another one.
Okay, I only made 1 egg because we had 3 eggs left and I wanted to leave 2 for Ben. But, it left me wanting more.
Now I am off to Zumba and then I have some clients to train. Champion also sent a tank that they suggested for Zumba. This is the Smoothing Long Top.
Just like their smoothing knee pants, it’s super flattering. Love that
The pants are also Champion, but they didn’t send me those. I’ve always been a fan of this brand and picked those up at Target recently.
Question: What food do you need more than 1 of to feel satisfied?
I’m always going with 2 eggs from now on!
Tara says
I need that Champion bra! Where are they sold? I have a boob bouncing problem.
Allison says
Seems like I always gotta have at least 2 pancakes, 2 plums, to pieces of toast, and probs many more… Two [halves] make a whole, right?! 😛
Christina says
It’s like you were reading my mind! I’m in SERIOUS need of a new anti-bouncing sports bra, but have trouble finding any and usually double up too! I’m bigger chested (TMI?) so I wonder if the Champion bra will work for me! Super excited to try it out. I know Under Armor has some bras that look similar to that but I can’t even figure out how to budget in a $50 sports bra..let alone more than one. Do you know if Target is selling those currently? And what about that top!? Love love love.
Jess@atasteofconfidence says
Looks like a good sports bra! I really like the ones with the clasp back.
Lorin says
I can’t just do one pancake! I’d rather split the big pancake into 3 smaller ones. I like to have different toppings for pancakes. Different nut butters, coconut butter, ect. :]
runeatrepeat says
Exactly why I always make 4 pancakes!
Melissa @ TryingToHeal says
i’m with you on the egg. i have to have two.
and i want that bra. how can i get it from champion!
Amanda @Fancy Oatmeal says
I’m embarassed to say that I always need to eat two Barney Butter sandwiches if I have one. I usually will indulge in one as my post-run snack, and then without a doubt there’s the second for lunch.
Mary says
You look ah-mazeee. Can I please have your smooth back 🙂
Janiek says
If I have pizza, I’ll finish the entire thing (the european size though, not american 😛 haha) … I hate it, but, it’s sort of a compulsion! haha. Bloated for days after that!
Ida says
I’ve never tried a sports bra with a clasp- but I have some champion ones that I love b/c they are sized like regular bras.
You look great in the photos!
Sarah @ Sarah's Modern Bites says
I know you’re not ‘technically’ supposed to care what you look like when you run, but when I am wearing running clothes that I feel I look good in that are flattering I tend to have a better run! You look fabulous! I love cropped running pants 😀
I can never just have one glass of wine! Ah! And I can NEVER just have ONE piece of bread with PB… must come in pairs, always!
I hope Ben appreciated you leaving him the extra eggs 😉 haha I do that stuff for my boyfriend too but I make sure he knows it! 😉 I hope that doesn’t make me a bad person.
Lauren says
I love champion sports bras.. i am for sure going to have to try out that “bounce-free!” one 🙂
Annie says
Chica, your waist looks teeny-tiny!
Glad to hear your review on the sports bra. I, too, hate ANY bounce.
Clare @ Fitting It All In says
Bowls of cereal!
runeatrepeat says
Yes! No matter if I use a huge bowl or a tiny one, I always go back for more.
Celeste says
I always have 2…or 3..or 4 of those mini tangerines (cuties..?) SO good. Also, you look toned and strong!!
Kristen says
I do the egg thing too and it’s soooo hard because I usually make two whole eggs and two egg whites for breakfast…When I’m really hungry I just finish them off! I love my husband but he knows where the grocery store is =]
runeatrepeat says
” I love my husband but he knows where the grocery store is” <- Ha! Love that 🙂
Ericka Andersen says
Hey there, thanks so much for this post. I too and a 2x sports bra girl (cheapies!) I finally bought a nice one at Lululemon and it’s the only one I can go one layer with. I’m glad to know that this is another option because I definitely need to get couple more. When you workout almost everyday, its hard to keep these things clean!
Jamie says
You look super toned in those pictures- awesome!
Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled says
I love Champions stuff. I have a few of their capris for running and a ton of their bras. They’re just comfortable and well made.
BTW – You look tiny in these pics! If a camera really does add 10 pounds, you probably are even tinier in person.
Lisa @ My Blonde Moments says
I always have to have two pieces of toast. One is just weird. It was meant to come in 2s.
And I also have to have 2 cookies (unless they are huge). 2 cookies are better than 1 🙂
runeatrepeat says
Agree on the cookies and toast!!!
Bee says
I can never have just one pancake!
Trainer Kjirsten @ Balanced Healthy Life says
I can never had just one slice of bacon! We buy this amazing kind at the local organic store in our town and it is so good. I always need at least 2 slices!
Danielle @weightsandmeasures says
I am SURE Ben appreciated having 2 eggs. You are right that those Champion clothes are flattering. They are sold at Target? I will have to give them a shot. I have a large chest… smaller than it used to be, but still large. I usually wear a regular bra with an undewire + a sports bra. Sports bras with underwire are a bazillion dollars, so I only have one. Hoping that the smaller I get, the smaller THEY get too!
loretta5ue says
Where is champion selling that bra? & your forerunner looks huge. Is it really that big.
runeatrepeat says
I’m checking on where they are sold. Get back to you on that 🙂
Yes, the Garmin is ridic big 🙁
Sara, Food Blogger on a Diet / Ms. Adventures in Italy says
Love the clasp bra! I have been wearing champion (bras) for a long time but I need an upgrade.
I also bought a pair of Champion crops at Target which I love, but they have a completely different feel than lululemon run pants (which I bought a pair of and really really love) – have you tried both? Are those smoothing pants similar? lululemon’s have a bit of compression going on so I wondered.
runeatrepeat says
I haven’t tried Lulu’s yet, but hear they are life changing! I have a gift card that’s burning a hole in my pocket.
Kelly @ Not So Rocky Road says
So glad you’re posting reviews on some champion gear! I have been curious and in search of a new sports bra for running. May just have to give that one a try! That outfit looks so cute on you!!
Amber K says
Well the first thing that popped into my head is Reese’s peanut butter cups. I try to have just one, but it’s just not possible!
runeatrepeat says
Yes! That’s why they put 2 in a package. It’s meant to be.
Amanda says
I love Champion’s stuff because I always find it on clearance at Target. And it’s nice!
You look great in the smoothing long top. I love the blue!
Kayla says
I was just having the same dilemma because there’s only one egg left in the house! I was going to bulk it up by having it with some leftover veggie chili on toast. Maybe that’ll work.. That Champion stuff looks great! Does the sports bra press against your neck at the back? I hate that.
runeatrepeat says
No it doesn’t press 🙂
Gabriella @ Loosedirections says
That’s one hot bod there 🙂
natalie (the sweets life) says
i want that sports bra–it looks like it fits well and i like the design of it!! tell champion to send me one 🙂
6 and then 20 is an injury waiting to happen…at least for me! hope it goes well tomorrow though!
runeatrepeat says
I know – this is a totally legit training plan, but some of the runs before long runs are not a good idea!
wymberley says
i never thought little boobs would hurt as bad as mine do after a long run. Im heading to title 9 next week for a good fitting!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
Wow Monica, you’ve made such progress! Awesome work 🙂
…And the bra is nice too
Morgan @ Becoming Rooks says
I was honestly thinking about this today and wondering who can get buy with one slice of pizza. Seriously, I can never just eat one slice unless I am at a party with a ton of other options. Of course I could just be a little pizza piglet.
runeatrepeat says
Totally agree – pizza always requires 2 or more slices!
Christin says
I definitely have to have 2 eggs also…especially if they are Eggs Benedict! You gotta have the who english muffin, right? 🙂 Yummmmmmmm
Holly says
I agree–gotta have two eggs! Honestly, eating two of everything feels normal for me because growing up, we were the house of seconds. I ALWAYS ate two servings of everything. I don’t anymore but sometimes it just feels natural to want to each two baked potatoes or two slices of cake….
runeatrepeat says
I’m with you on the cake!
Lauren says
I don’t have the “boob bouncing” problem but I do have a few Champion sports bras and I love them!!
Danielle says
You look great! Very slim and toned!
Ella says
I agree – your torso looks AMAZE in those photos! seriously, like a fitness model. or rather, what i wish they looked like instead of those skinny girls they often show in magazines who look like they’ve never done a lunge or pull-up in their life.
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List says
How do I get hooked up with this Ambassador’s Program??? 😉 You look awesome, Monica, especially in the blue top!
Need two of:….hmmm, I’ll have to go with hotdogs (which I rarely eat), but I need two…one with a little chili and one plain.
