It is much more individual. I do not question, that if somebody has the leg/heart/lung for running can lose more fat by srpint/walk interval training than with simple running, but the real problem, if you are (re)starter runners, your risk of injury very high in both cases.
Let me share my own experiences how I lost very fast without interval or real running. Last January I started a "running" program - with 35 lb excess weight. Because of lack of previous running experience during the first month I only could walk (WATP 3 miles video) - nevertheless I lost 8 lbs. Second month I started to jog (1 mile jog 2 mile walk) I lost 7 more lbs. Third month I slowly increased my jog up to 30 min/3 mile - I lost only 5 lbs.
From the fourth month, when I really started to run my weightloss slowed down to 3 lbs/month. (I had the same carb/cal intake during all the time.)
The problem with running: your LEGS need long weeks (usually recommended 8-10 weeks) to build up the strenght to run 30 min constantly. During the same long weeks your body adapts to the running, running with more and more efficiency, burning less and less fat. (It is not only the running. To change exercise routine every 6-8 weeks is recommended to everybody.)
The problem with HIIT the same if you chose the sprint/walk version. BUT you can do HIIT without running, on different cardio machines.
About sport bras - for running I would recommend the compression type sport bra.
