The majority of injuries for runners are an extension of improper nutrition. Yes, you heard that right.

Everything runners need to know about running, pregnancy and breastfeeding I may have slightly exaggerated the title, but there IS a lot in this page on running during and after pregnancy. It’s a compilation of all the posts I’ve written and had written for me over the past couple of years. I guess that now I’ve finished breastfeeding and my son is fast approaching two, it seems like an end to that phase of my life. Anyway, I hope you find some of the below useful for yourself, your partner or friends and family. Sometimes, just having you know what they’re dealing with is enough to help your pregnant friends. Staying active during and after pregnancy I asked four women about their experiences of keeping active during and after their pregnancies.

Breastfeeding and running – the end of my 19-month experience What follows is my experience of juggling breastfeeding my son with getting back to running and running a marathon and eventually, after 19 months, stopping feeding. I’m no expert. If you’re finding breastfeeding or stopping breastfeeding difficult, there’s more sources of information at the bottom. I wrote a post about the first year of feeding and running, which you can find here . Other than a couple of bouts of mastitis, I had a really positive experience of breastfeeding and feel lucky that I’ve been able to do it. From not being sure if I would, to then deciding to give it a go for a few weeks, to then setting 6 months as an end point, I’ve continued for 19 months. When I decided it was time to stop, I found very little information on how to do that, and what I did find was solely focussed on the impact on the child, not the mother. So this is my experience. At the start of this year, and after my son was a year o...

  Magic numbers don’t exist in training When runners come to me for help with their training, we discuss their goals. We discuss what their current running looks like and how much time they have available to train. And then, sometimes, they tell me that they don’t think they can run X time in their goal race because they can’t fit in X miles in training. There’s a notion that to run certain times and distances, you have to run a certain amount of miles in training. That there’s a magic number that, if you hit it, all your dreams will come true and if you don’t, we’ll you may as well give up altogether. It’s very easy too, to look at elite runners doing 100 miles per week, compare it to our own training and this more miles = faster running. This is certainly broadly true among the population of runners, but it’s not true on an individual level for an individual training cycle. The obvious limitation with the more miles = faster miles is injury. Too much too soon and you’ll li...

Half marathon training: Weeks 1-4 Four weeks of half marathon training done, and four weeks of working with a coach complete. It was a rocky start. I had an issue with my right foot whereby it was hurt walking around between runs but felt ok while running. It was really annoying and, as usual, I very dramatically thought the race was over before training had even got started. But here we are, week four and things are back to normal. My training doesn’t look too different to how it did before I started having a coach take over, which is good. A dramatic overhaul of my training to date and a massive jump in mileage and frequency aren’t sensible or good coaching. Instead I’ve got a coach who took the time to listen to what I was doing, how much time I have and changed a few things but not too much. My life right now allows me to fit in four runs each week, I can generally find two hours max for a Sunday long run and my body seems comfortable with around 20 miles per week. So that’s ...

Running after having a baby: physio advice I saw Niamh at 8 weeks and 6 months post delivery. And, as I found her guidance invaluable, I asked her to write a few words of advice for new mums. By Niamh Burn MSCP Pre and Postnatal Pelvic Health Physiotherapist When can I run after having a baby? That’s a question on many a new mum’s mind. Running is so convenient and reasonably easy to fit in around a baby. Running can also be an integral part of a mum’s mental health and it’s always good to get back to doing what you love, but hopefully in a safe and effective way. Most mums are keen to get back out there as quick as they can, really craving the head space that running gives. However, as women we are also invested in our body, its recovery and willing to future-proof ourselves physically, so that running can always be a part of our lives. Like most tricky questions, there is a different answer for everyone when it comes to getting back to running post pregnancy. It’s really an ...
