Mari Thomas is a runner and founder of MAAREE, a revolutionary sports bra brand and three-time winner of Women's Running Magazine's Best In Test Sports Bra for Bigger Boobs. After completing a degree in Sports Engineering, Mari secured a spot doing sports bra testing. Whilst she was in this role, she saw first-hand the lack of research and development that many of the bigger sports brands undertook when creating a sports bra. A few years later, after creating her own prototype sports bra, Mari decided to launch MAAREE and hasn't looked back since.
She's also a runner (or self-confessed "plodder"), having run the London Marathon amongst a few other races.
In this episode, Mari talks all about how she founded MAAREE, the importance of finding the right sports bra, boob taboos, and the rise of the virtual bra fitting, as well as Mari’s experience of running the London Marathon.
