Running a marathon??

Question

Hi everyone! 
I am running a half marathon at my 2 month mark. I'm feeling good about it as that's only 3 weeks away. There is a full marathon at my 6 month mark... am I nuts to even be thinking about running it?! I'm an avid runner and I'd love to accomplish that feat. I'm super looking forward to being a mom so that's obviously my main priority but I was just wondering if anyone else has done it or seen it be done? Thanks!

Answer

The 1/2 will be no problem ! I ran a 1/2 easy . The full at 25/26 weeks might be a struggle . The baby starts to take more out of you . Just do why you can and don't push yourself it will be fine .

Answer

I don't think you're nuts! I think it's hard to say how pregnancy will affect your running though. I'm a runner & I have runner friends who ran (& even raced in some cases) through their entire pregnancies, but I stopped running around 23 weeks or so because I felt like my balance & stride were so off that I was putting myself (& baby) at risk. So just make sure you listen to your body :)

Answer

Not nuts at all! Play it by ear though, a lot can change in the next few months! Talk to your doctor about it and see how you're doing at the time. I think it's awesome!! 💪
