I hate to think bairns could get whiplash injuries

Running and strollers

[Irishprincess Administrator Half Marathon]

I see a few running strollers on my runs and I’m always amazed at how they do it! There can’t be much arm movement and I’ve often thought how hard it would be to run without being able to punch your arms 😖

I love your mention of “bairns” 😍 In N. Ireland we call babies and young children “wains” (or weans)

Where I grew up in the South we called them "Babbies" :)Always thought "Bairn" sounded better

I honestly can't imagine that the kid in the stroller won't get any painful movements. I just saw a short piece on tv a couple of days ago about this guy who has run 22 days each day 50 kilometer with his stepson who has a disease much like ALS. The (big) kid is in a special wheelchair that the guy pushes while running. And the kid said that it was difficult for him too, as he gets a shock every time in his back which hurts his whole body.

And ok, you're not going to push a stroller for 22 days for 50K every day. But if the kid felt pain, I can imagine that a child in a stroller will feel something too...

Never mind the rugrats' whiplash, the concept of a "paved trail" is making my head explode.🤯

We have a number of runners with strollers at our Parkrun and it always amazes me when they finish and junior is fast asleep!

I wish it were as easy to sleep on planes

Can’t say I’ve ever had a problem with that IJ!
