NCd regular on here.
Friend goes fell running/ walking a lot, and takes her 18mo kid out when walking, in a baby backpack thing. She was saying that she'd recently done a half marathon with the 1yo on her back - running - and that the baby had loved it (this sounds plausible - kid totally loves the backpack from what I've seen).
Apparently at the end she was accosted by a physio who glared at her and passive-aggressively asked the baby "so, how's your neck feeling?".
The physio sounds like they need to get some people skills, as that's not really the way to address a concern about the baby's welfare - it's just going to get the mother's back up. Particularly when the mother is known for being both highly intelligent and independent-minded, and when the baby is clearly totally happy at the end of the race.
However, I'd worry more about giving the kid mild concussion. 21km is quite a long way to go, gently bouncing the kid around - even if the kid has the muscular control to not get to flopped around at the beginning, by the end, the kid would be quite tired.
AIBU to say something (gently, politely) if this interfering-physio story comes up again in conversation?
