I'm very, very early on (5 weeks). I'm a fairly keen (if sometimes fairweather!) runner, normally 2-3 times a week, once or twice outdoors, once of twice on a treadmill, it takes me 33-35 minutes to do 5k.
Before I found out, a couple of my runs weren't the most enjoyable...1 I got quite dizzy on the treadmill so that was a slow one, the other, I managed it but my sports bra was tested to its limits. I was a bit anxious about going, I'm really anxious about keeping my beginnings of a baby safe but went, I walked 2km and ran 1km, just to see how I got on. I got on fine. Yesterday, far too tired!
I have read that it is safe to continue to run but that I should be scaling it back a bit. Has anyone had experience of doing this? What did you go down to and when?
I was doing other exercise before - ballet but think this will be too difficult due to being too tired to go to that in the evening, pilates (I will speak to my instructor) and dance (same teacher as my pilates one). I also walk a fair bit.
I know some days it will be really impossible due to sickness/tiredness but I'm keen to carry on as and when I can for my mental wellbeing/keep my body strong for the times ahead. A hobby I initially embarked on out of vanity has become something I enjoy so any advice would be great.
Thanks!
