Runner, fitness model and inf luencer

‘Despite competing at the German Athletics Championships when I was 15, I’ve never enjoyed the competitive aspect of sport. I don’t want my happiness dependent on whether I’m better than someone else – I want it to be dependent on achieving the goals I set for myself.

‘For me, wearing kit that enhances my training and how I feel about myself is integral to my motivation – it’s something I simply refuse to compromise on.

‘I get really angry at badly designed sports

bras. We all know that feeling of wearing a certain top and thinking, “My body is wrong” because it doesn’t fit.

‘I always found you got either a really good, techy sports bra that looked bad or one that was flattering but delivered no support. It’s a game changer to know there are bras that both look good and do their job!

‘Under Armour knows that when you exercise, your breasts move in a figure-of-eight shape, so it injects padding in that pattern into its bras. The result is a lighter, more aerodynamic fit that supports your body’s natural movement. I want women to know that their sports bra can work for them, not against them.’
