“Occasionally I'd have to be in military formations, standing either at ‘attention’ or ‘parade rest.’ Parade rest was a killer, because the pins and needles would start almost right away, and it would progress to a strong burning sensation.” “Kind of like when you've been sitting cross-legged on the floor for a while and suddenly stand up, it tingles and burns for a while until your legs recover from sitting in that position.”īut his sensations persisted and worsened over the next 30 years. “I was on my feet a lot I began noticing that, in certain standing positions, the area on the outer-front quadrant of my left leg began having that sensation of pins and needles,” he recalls of his time in the Air Force in the 1980s. Even better? There’s no need to sacrifice the support and performance fabrics you expect from a modern sports bra.About 30 years ago, Jeff Schinksy noticed a funny tingling in his thigh. You’ll find bras with sectioned-off pockets that keep you organized and larger pockets that feel limitless-and if the thought of any added chest-bounce sounds awful to you, opt for a pocket in the back instead. That’s where sports bras with pockets come in handy. And even if you sometimes wear a pack or belt, you might still want a super-accessible pocket for emergency essentials like tissues, gels, and lip balm, or something fuss-free for shorter runs. Some swear armbands throw them off balance, while others hate the idea of a bag bouncing on their back or waist.



The perfectly placed pocket answers an age-old running question: Where do I stow my stuff? While armbands, running belts, and hydration packs all have their place and purpose, we-as runners-are nothing if not particular about our gear (come on, you know it’s true). However, there's one thing you probably haven’t thought of: pockets.īut you should. There’s a lot to consider when buying a sports bra: support, fabric, comfort, coverage.
