MOTHER RUNNER
No two #motherrunners are the same, but we are not alone. I’ve run through three pregnancies and have come back stronger after each one, but that hasn’t been without challenge —including a prolapse bladder diagnosis after my second pregnancy.
My advice for mother runners comes hard-earned. Check out the resources I’ve created to help you avoid injury and return to running after pregnancy.
I wish I hadn’t run during pregnancy
I really did write those words back in 2012 and at the time I 100% felt that way.
Over three pregnancies I’ve learned so much about what to do and what not to do. I’ve shared in detail my struggle with pelvic floor weakness, incontinance and prolapse.
Thankfully, I’ve been able to resolve all of those and return to running stronger than ever.
Return to Running
Informed by my own return to running postpartum and my experience as a running coach, this eight-week plan incorporates pelvic floor strengthening exercises that will aid in your recovery from childbirth and help build a strong foundation on which to base your running.
