the week i got pregnant i sprained my ankle really badly. by the time it was healed i was over 3 months and told i couldnt run till i have the baby cos my body would be too de-trained. when can i start running again if i have a natural trouble free birth? what bout a c-section if i absolutely cant avoid it. i realise i may not feel like it and will probably be exhausted but id like to know when i can get back out there if i do feel the urge -------------

I miss being able to see my feet. 
Sorry Monikah.... saw lots of people were just reading and not posting. Not sure about when you can start to train again. Perhaps aqua jogging in the pool would be a good low impact start. Wow 10 weeks to go for you.. .. Best of luck. T -------------

I started running again as soon as I felt my body was ready to. You will know when you are ready to get back into it. I had a c section, but it wasn't the c section recovery that held me back from getting into my running again, it was the giganta boobs that ached when I power walked let alone breaking into a jog 
I started power walking at about 6 weeks after my c section and running after about 12 weeks. I also started playing soccer again and had to strap my boobs to my chest with 2 bras when I was b/f, and I don't even have very big boobs!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Hi Monikah
I am like you and miss running as well. Can't wait to get back into it. I power walk along the same roads as I used to run and its just not the same. I also miss not being able to run small distances. Eg I keep going to run across the road or up to the office at work and whoa it just doesn't work that well! I have a plan to enter a 27km off road run in Dec which will make sure I get fit again by the end of the year but gives my the chance to have a few months off after bubs arrives if I can bring myself to get out there. |
