Getting back into running after birth - tips and advice

Hi all,

We’re planning to write an article about how to get into/back into running after having a baby, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic.

While getting back into a regular exercise routine after having a baby will depend on a number of things, including the type of birth you've had, how you're feeling and how your baby's getting on. For some, when the time is right, running can be a great way to get the endorphins flowing and to steal away a bit of much-needed alone time.

We’ll be asking a few experts to share their advice on postpartum running and exercise in general, but we’d love to hear your about your tips and advice too.

If you’re a runner, how did you find returning to exercise after having a baby? What advice would you give to first-time mums?

Thanks for your help

Hi all, thanks so much for taking the time to share your advice and experience.

As well reading through this thread and others like it, we looked at NHS guidelines and spoke to a post-natal physiotherapist to make sure we gave the right advice. Here's a link to the article
