Running bra for big boobs

Hi! Looking for a recommendation. I'm just coming to the end of week 5 of couch to 5k and feel like I'm getting there. Making progress though I still find it difficult. One thing which I think might help me out a bit though is a decent running bra. I'm a 36E and in the UK. I've been using my shock absorbers that I bought several years ago which have been doing a job but I'm wondering what is good out there now that I'm looking to invest in a new one (or two) to help me keep this momentum up...and my boobs still!
Thanks!😊

I have a Shock Absorber Ultimate Run. It doesn't fit perfectly but bloody hell it holds the girls in place. I have found they come up small around the back. I have a 30FF (usually a 28G) but I could really do with a 30G.

Which shock absorbers do you use? I haven't bought new in ages which is probably why my current ones aren't doing the job so well anymore. I've found ones with the two fasteners to be better in the past. Haven't tried any other brands at all. I'm happy to spend a bit on it if it does the job well.

Have had a shock absorber in the fast but recently started up joe wicks so ordered one of the Freya sports bras - has been decent so far. Got my for £40 off amazon!

34FF and have only found Shock Absorbers to work. Sadly, I have to ask someone to help me fasten them so can only run distance if I'm at home with the husband or away with friends. It's a pain as I work away a lot. Can do a short run with a basic Shock Absorber as it only has a standard fastener. Would love a front fastening, high performance sports bra so going to try Enell next. Have tried other brands and they're useless.
