Runners who Breastfeed

I got cleared to exercise today and would like to start running again. Some questions:

-Did running affect supply at all? Are you limiting the # of miles you run to prevent a supply issue?

-Do you wear your nursing bra/nursing pads  or a sports bra while running? My nursing bras look like sports bras so I thought I could use them.

-What is your routine like now?

    Wondering the same thing once I'm cleared to start exercising again. I didn't even think about it affecting my supply though - that might change my mind on starting up right away....I'd hate to lose my supply.

    I just started running last week, but with DD exercising did not affect my supply at all. Unless I have a problem, I'm not going to limit the number of miles. I'm actually training for a 1/2 marathon in June.

    I wear my sports bras. I don't wear nursing bras (seems just as easy to wear my regular bras) but when I did wear them with DD they didn't provide enough support.

    I just started running last week, but I'm trying to run every other day and have started with a loop that is just under 3 miles (but includes 287 stairs!).?

    I started running after DS was born as soon as I was cleared to exercise. It did not affect my supply at all and I never limited how far I ran. However, because I was producing SO much I had to wear 2 bras.... one with an underwire support and another sports bra on top of that just to make sure I didn't come home with wet spots :) I can't wait to start again after this one is here!!!
