5k at 30 weeks?

Question

First time mom. I'm 12 weeks and just signed up for a 5k. It was only after I signed up that I realized I will be 30 weeks on that date (I was thinking it was at more like 25 weeks). Is that too ambitious? I'm a runner and 5k is usually nbd, but I've barely run at all this first trimester due to lethargy/morning sickness. I'm confident that all things being equal, I can get my stamina up, but I don't know what it's like to try to run with a 30-week size belly! Any advice?

Answer

Since your body is used to it, you should be fine! I'm doing at 5k at 27 weeks and I'm not even much of a runner myself. Just listen to your body!

Answer

If you stay active you'll be fine. Just listen to your body. I ran a 5k at 23 weeks, have one in a week and a half at 30 weeks, and one at 33 weeks. I run/walk, but it feels so good being out there exercising. Stay hydrated during your runs and keep your blood sugar up.

Answer

I'm still running 5kms and I'm 35 weeks. It is slooooowwww and hard but you just have to listen to your body and walk if you need to!

Answer

I'm open to running/walking or even finding a friend to take my spot. I'm just wondering if I've bitten off more than I can chew!

Answer

I just found out in pregnant- due dec and have a 15k this weekend, a half in May, mud run in May and my mom wants to do a run in Nov. I'm sure it's all going to be hard but I figure if the doctor clears it, it will be fine just have to listen to your body!
