I used to run 5 miles before my knees got bad. Before picking the gun, the more of carry should be selected.
For me, a fannyoack with the strap tightly adjusted so the pack did not bounce worked best.
If that choice works for her, think about a subcompact 9mm or .380. A little weight will not be uncomfortable if it is centered in front of her.
