Postpartum Running: Getting your stride back

Writer's picture: Lynne DiPirroLynne DiPirro

Hey, mamas! I know you miss the sensation of your feet hitting the pavement, the sweat dripping, and your heart racing while you conquer those miles. 💪 I might not have experienced a 'Runner's High' myself, but I get the exhilaration of a good workout!


However, we need to get one thing clear: postpartum running isn't something to rush into. Why? Because the consequences can be brutal - major bladder leakage, prolapse, or pain… 🙅‍♀️ Your postpartum recovery is a journey, and it's important. It may feel long, and at times, a bit boring, but it is INCREDIBLY important.


The Reality of Postpartum Running


➡ Women should not jump back into running until they are at least 12 weeks postpartum AND have been cleared by a pelvic health specialist. Why? Because we want you to truly enjoy your runs without fearing the possibilities of issues.


We don't want you to be "dealing with" your postpartum body, we want your body to be EVEN STRONGER than it was before kids!


Consult a Specialist


Before lacing up those running shoes, consult with a pelvic health specialist. They are your experts in postpartum recovery. They'll guide you on when it's safe to resume running and how to do it effectively.


Remember, this journey is about embracing your strength. You're not just getting back to where you were; you're becoming even stronger. Running can wait, but your health and well-being can't. Take the time you need, consult with professionals, and be patient with yourself. Your running shoes will be waiting for you, and when you hit the pavement again, it'll be a triumphant return. 💪🏃‍♀️💕
