No Bounce, No Chafe: Our Ultimate Running Bra & Undie Chat

Episode 61 Bras, Undies & 5K Training

Welcome back to the Women's Running Collective podcast! In Episode 61, we’re diving straight into the fun, the real, and the slightly chaotic world of women’s running. This week, we chat about everything from chasing fast 5K goals to the bras and undies that actually make running feel comfortable.

We break down our weekly running adventures, including Lindy’s huge 5K PB (yes, we paced our hearts out!), a birthday 3K time trial, and how we’re tweaking our training sessions to stay strong and injury-free.

Then we take a deep, very honest dive into women’s running essentials: sports bras that don’t bounce into next week, undies that don’t roll where they shouldn’t, and all the little tips we’ve learned to avoid chafing, irritation, and the dreaded running-induced thrush.

We also share our favourite running gear right now, including the Under Armour Infinity Bra, Stax Classic Crop, and Lorna Jane’s Feel Naked G-string, plus a few hygiene and care hacks to keep your gear (and you!) feeling fresh.

And of course, we sprinkle in plenty of laughs, love for the running community, and shoutouts including We Run Foundation and Elite Supplements Australia.

If you’re a woman who runs, wants to run, or just loves listening to runners talk way too passionately about bras and undies… this one’s for you.
