Hi all! Has anyone else started running again after a baby? I was doing 15-20k a week before having my third baby but I’ve restarted the whole Cto5k and am on w6 r1 my baby is 20 weeks.

I’m finding it more tiring now (but baby still feeds 3 times a night and I’m bf).

How long after giving birth did you wait?

but I wish I'd started much much sooner

there have been studies done that show that mums that exercise have more chance of having children that exercise - dads had less effect (I wish I had made more time for myself when they were lilttle)

Not what you're looking for?
