How much is too much running?

Question

I am feeling a little nervous because I ran 8 miles a couple days before finding out we were pregnant. 
I’ve gone on a couple small runs since, because I’ve read it’s fine, but not sure how much is too much? 
I’ll ask my doc in a couple weeks, but wondering if anyone here knows. 
Thanks!

Answer

I’m sure you’re fine. Doctors always say that whatever you did before you were pregnant you are okay to do after. Just make sure to listen to your body from now on. If you’re running and feel out of breath it’s best to cut down to a jog. If you’re having no issues, keep it going girl! Best of luck!!

Answer

I am a dance instructor and I am extremely active and on my feet all the time. With my first pregnancy my doctor told me that anything I was doing before pregnancy I can continue to do as long as it feels good and right. If you were doing long distance running before you got pregnant there is no reason why you can't continue as long as your body agrees!

Answer

I asking my doctor the same question tomorrow, I’m dying to get some miles in!

Answer
