🏃♀️ Ready to run after pregnancy?
Being “cleared” for exercise doesn’t always mean your body is ready for the demands of running.
Before you lace up, think beyond just time postpartum. Your body needs the strength, control, pelvic floor function, and impact tolerance to handle running confidently.
In this post, I’m breaking down:
✓ Strength + control benchmarks
✓ Impact readiness
✓ A gradual walk-to-run progression
✓ Symptoms that may mean your body needs a little more time
And remember—leaking, pelvic heaviness/pressure, or pain while running isn’t something you just have to accept postpartum.
Your return to running should be progressive, individualized, and symptom-guided.
Save this post for when you’re ready to get back to running. 🤍
Not sure if you’re ready? A postpartum return-to-running assessment can help identify exactly what your body needs.
