Does running cause breast implant ruptures

I'm now at home recovering from surgery to remove a ruptured implant. They couldn't do a replacement as the rupture was extensive and had caused infection, inflammation and internal bleeding.
What I can't get an answer to is whether being a runner actually caused the implant to rupture, or indeed why this happened at all.
I have tried googling to research instances but no information. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this? I am frustrated with the 'you were just unlucky' explanation - considering it has now happened twice - once on each side! How unlucky can you get?!
I should add that these weren't 'cosmetic' jobs, but post-cancer reconstruction, so no rude 'serves you right' comments please?! Even if they were cosmetic, no-one asks for this.

Sorry you have had problems. I have had the same treatment, for the same reason, and so far so good (3 years on). I wear a VERY supportive sports bra for running so that nothing moves, ever, and I always wear a bra or crop top of some sort, day and night. Other than that (and I'm sure you do the same) I'm not sure what else you can do, and I suspect maybe you are just very unlucky. My surgeon was absolutely fine about me running again with the (very obvious) caveat that I was well supported at all times
