There's so much to learn about our new bodies – they change and endure so much over 12+ months from conception, to growing a baby, to birthing a baby, and surviving the 4th trimester. If you're hoping to get back to to running regularly postpartum, it's important to take things super slow. Let me say that a little louder for the people in the back... SUPER SLOW. No mater how "easy" pregnancy went, how "smooth" your birth went, or how "good" your body feels right now, I need you to imagine you're starting from 0.
In this two-part program, we're going to build from ground up – building to 45+ minute runs. In Phase 1, we'll take the first 12 weeks to build strength and rehab the core via weekly walking, stretching, and strength. At the end (the 10-week or 12-week mark), you'll need to pass a "fit test" before you add any high-impact running.
During Phase 2, we'll continue with weekly strength and stretching then add jogging intervals until we make our way up to 45-minute easy runs.
Let's do this, mama. 👋
