An essential piece of kit for all female runners! Research done a couple of years ago at Portsmouth Uni demonstrated just how much "displacement" (great phrase) occurs while running - and that applies as much to smaller busts as to those who are more endowed. Choose a bra that's designed for high impact activity and that feels comfortable and supportive when you run. There are many providers including M&S, Less Bounce (WRN discount here), Bravissimo and Figleaves. Shock Absorber is probably the most recognised brand, but there are many others, including those catering for larger busts. And sports bras do wear out! I've read 6 months - admittedly from those trying to sell them. Try to be aware of how supportive your bra is - if it's no longer doing its job, change it. Chafing also indicates wear. Finally, if you have lost weight, check that your sports bra still fits - you may have changed bra size and it is crucial that your sports bra fits perfectly so that it is effective.
