After your long run foam rolling and stretching is a must.. there are many YouTube videos to show you how to get to the knots in your legs and back. It's amazing how it can help keep you running with much less pain

Cannot run without this, actually ran a 10k today and was wearing this bra. It supports like nobody's business, and with the front zipper it makes getting out of it so much easier than traditional t backed bras. Worth every penny of the price
