Are you ready to run Mum? More importantly - IS YOUR BODY READY?

Return to Running Post Baby Part 5

Grade & Monitor Your Return to Run

🏃‍♀️So you are symptom free, around 12 weeks post baby, built up your strength, passed the tests and now ready to hit the road running - literally!!!

🏃‍♀️So so exciting!! So where do you go from here?
Well we recommend a graded return to running, a walk run interval based program! We love the couch to 5k NHS app. I would advise a minimum x2 week alongside your strength work, max 3 times a week. Aim to space your runs out over the week. Throughout monitor how you feel, if you develop symptoms then please contact your women’s health physiotherapist for some fine tuning and advice.

🏃‍♀️Progressing from 5k onwards and speed work is likely to require further work with your women’s health physio and I would advice getting comfortable with 5k for a little while before pushing beyond this.

🏃‍♀️For more challenging performance goals eg completing a key race in a certain time it is so worth investing in a running coach. is incredible and offers some amazing tips on her account and if you are based near her in the U.S hook up with her. In the UK where I live the running coaches who I work with are smashing it out of the park, is awesome and are also fab.

🏃‍♀️Enjoy this process wonderful Mamas you are on the home straight, don’t rush it and when in doubt ask the professionals.

🏃‍♀️Any questions then please comment below - much love and hope to see you at a big running event once things are back up and ‘running’ 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️
