Postpartum Running: How to Safely Resume Running

February 10, 2021

Postpartum Running: How to Safely Resume Running

In the first part on postpartum running, I covered how long you should wait before running. In the second part of this series, I will address exactly how to resume running - because it's not just jumping back into a three-mile easy run. A postpartum return to running is a gradual and deliberate process that begins before you even actually start running again. Every coach's philosophy on postpartum running will differ slightly. However, overarching principles are the same: build back slowly, ...

How I Ran Through My Entire Pregnancy

February 26, 2020

How I Ran Through My Entire Pregnancy

On the third Monday in September 2019, I went for a morning three-mile run. I felt fine, even in the late summer humidity. By the afternoon, I was holding my baby girl in my arms as the drugs from a C-section wore off.

Gear that Helped Me Run through My Entire Pregnancy

September 20, 2019

Gear that Helped Me Run through My Pregnancy

Good gear makes running easier. GPS watches allow us to track distance and pace with the touch of a button. Running shoes are constantly updating their foam and introducing things like carbon plates to help you run more efficiently. During pregnancy, gear is just as magical; the right running gear for pregnancy makes a significant difference.  Every runner experiences pregnant running differently.  I was able to run through my entire pregnancy due to having an easy, low-risk ...
