Returning to Running After Baby: The Milestones That Matter More Than Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, pelvic floor physiotherapist Kath Baquie discusses returning to running after having a baby and why readiness is about more than simply reaching a certain number of weeks postpartum.
Many women are told they can return to exercise at six weeks or start running at twelve weeks, but recovery after pregnancy and birth is not determined by a timeline alone. Kath explains the pelvic floor, strength and impact milestones she looks for when supporting women returning to running after pregnancy.
In this episode you'll learn:
• Why time postpartum does not automatically mean you're ready to run
• Pelvic floor signs to look for before returning to running
• Strength and impact milestones that can help guide your progression
• What symptoms may suggest you need additional support
• What to expect when you first start running again after birth
• Why recovery, nutrition and overall wellbeing also play an important role
Whether you've had a vaginal birth or caesarean birth, this episode will help you better understand how to approach postpartum running with confidence.
