Anyone run a marathon in first trimester?

Question

I ran a marathon yesterday at 9 weeks, 4 days. I snacked, sipped, walked, and ran. It was my slowest marathon ever but I finished feeling good. I was prepared to stop early if I didn't feel well at any time and averaged a heart rate in the 140s. Although I feel like I made the right decision for myself I can't help but have some anxiety about miscarriage risk and research is limited. Anyone been in a similar situation?

Answer

Badass! I wouldn't worry about it, especially if you're continuing to feel good. All that training is going to be great when it's time for labor. Your body will be in shape and your mind will know how to handle the pain of labor! 
Way to go, mama!

Awesome, celebrating the 40th in style! I got tired just watching my friends who were running it:)

Answer

My doctor said that as long as you're not increasing your excercise levels from pre pregnancy or over exerting yourself (feeling faint, hard to breathe, excessive heart rate) then you're good. I can't believe you feel well enough! I've been dying to get back to running but I can barely sit and stand let alone run in Florida heat! You rock!

Answer

I most certainly did not run a marathon but you go lady! It sounds like you did all the right things too to make sure little bean was ok ❤️

Answer

I'm running a half at the end of this month! I'll be 12 weeks by then. My times are definitely slower and my heart rate and breathing picks up quicker but I don't feel exhausted when I'm done with my long runs. It has just been hard for me to accept my slower times after working so hard to try and lower them but I keep reminding myself that I'm running with a companion :) I am totally in the same boat with you and get worried after my longer runs that I'm going to bleed or hurt the baby but my doctor says it's good to
maintain my current level of exercise. I did a tri when I was just a couple weeks and don't know it! Just among a tough little babe :) good luck to all my running moms!

Answer

You go girl! I wouldn’t worry about it because I assume you’ve been training for it. One of the PAs I worked with ran a marathon in her first pregnancy. As long as your body was prepared for that and you did listen to your body, you should be fine!

Answer

My doctor always said if it's something your body is used to it's not a problem. Pregnancy is just not the time to start a new crazy workout routine. I assume if you are able to run a marathon you're used to a lot of exercise so I wouldn't worry about it. Also, you go, Mama! My morning sickness prevents me from even washing the dishes some days. I can't imagine running a marathon right now!
