Will Running in Pregnancy Make or Break Your Postpartum Comeback?
0🏃♀️ Can running during pregnancy could boost your chances of getting back to it postpartum?
This 2021 paper concludes that women who keep running while pregnant are potentially more likely to return to running postpartum.
Plus, logging higher weekly mileage before pregnancy helps—but interestingly, those high-mileage runners often take a more gradual return.
Moms with more than one child?
They tend to bounce back to pre-pregnancy levels faster, suggesting experience plays a role.
(Would love the side convo on this one from our new AND experienced mother runners!)
What helped YOU or kept you from returning to running postpartum? ⬇️
