Return to Run Coaching
Returning to running after having a baby? After a c section? After a vaginal delivery? After a long break? Or just running for the first time ever?
My first advice is: if you don't like running, DON'T RUN. However, if you love running and it's something you want to do and need some coaching to get back to, I have specific training in postpartum return-to-run screening and coaching. I’ve rehabbed myself back to running after numerous injuries, and successfully returned to running after having a baby — twice! This is a place where you’ll see me use the evidence— what’s in the research, and combine it with my own personal experience with returning to running after injury- and birthing humans. There’s a lot to consider: you’re strength, balance, mobility, and of course— your pelvic floor.
Just because you aren’t training for the Boston Marathon doesn’t mean you don’t need return-to-run coaching. If you love popping out for a jog once or twice a week for 20 minutes, you’re still a runner. You’re a runner because you run, that’s not defined by distance or speed.
