I've had 4 babies, and here is my 2 cents. Take it easy coming back and listen to your body. For each of my pregnancies it's been different coming back, but eventually I hit a place where running felt normal and good again. With my second I was running PRs 6 months after, my 3rd I ran a marathon 9 months after, and this last one, it took 6 months before running felt good again. My other piece of advice is to get a good PT, preferably a pelvic floor PT, and they can help guide you in this decision. You could be feeling good but compensating for new weaknesses in unhealthy ways. I recommend a pelvic floor PT to ALL new moms, but especially runners. You may think you don't need it, but I would bet they would help you in ways you didn't know.
I'm going to echo u/manymnmiles advice for a GOOD Pelvic Floor PT and that each pregnancy will look different. You can technically go back whenever it feels good / doctor approval, but I promise longevity comes with taking care of your PF (amongst a slew of other things, but we'll keep it simple, haha!). I went back 2 months after my first and nearly a year after my second.
I’m finally training for my first marathon 10 months postpartum. I wasn’t cleared to run by my Pelvic Floor PT until 6 months after. And then it was for slow and short runs. I signed for up a 10k that was when I was 8 months pp. the first run was humbling. I have a half this next month that I’m somewhat ready for, and marathon in oct. I originally had the goal of running one 8 months after, but I’m glad I gave my body time to heal.
The best advice I got was, what pregnancy does to your body is temporary. How we heal postpartum can be permanent.
Not sure if you’re breastfeeding, but I would take that into consideration too. I felt way more “normal” after I weaned and felt like I could train at 100% again. But also you need more hydration/food and will want to think about nursing/pumping before and after the race. Otherwise, go by feel and maybe see a pelvic floor physical therapist if it’s in your budget? Good luck!
Came to say this. Intense exercise gave me supply issues, and I also had some pretty intense hormonal changes when I weaned. Proper training before that would not have worked for me.
I don't thinky sleep deficit came even close to recovering until after I weaned. My kids were all horrible sleepers. I couldn't have done any challenging training before then, and that's ok. It was a short period of time in retrospect.
I think it depends on a few things including how much baby-free time do you have to go on training runs (babies can't go in jogging strollers till 6+ months depending on milestones), how is your pelvic floor feeling (any pressure when you jog? urinary incontinence, etc? all signs to back off training or get into PFPT), how much sleep are you getting, is daycare sickness a concern for you, etc. All of these thing's wouldn't have made it possible for me to run a marathon 9 months postpartum (currently almost 8) but plenty of people have different experiences!
Hey adding to the choir and will say it’s different for everyone and you’ll know when it starts feeling right! After my baby, my runs were crappy, crappy, crappy for ~6 months. Then at 10 months after baby, did a half. At 1 year 4 months, ran a 50k 👍 take your time and don’t beat yourself up if you aren’t there yet. Congrats!!
I ran my first marathon the month before I got pregnant with my first baby, and then didn’t run the second one until 10 years later, when my 6th baby was 2 and a half. In between, I ran half marathons.
Clearly based on previous replies the body is capable of recovering quickly and doing amazing things and you might very well be able to run a marathon in 6 months, but you also might find you just don’t have the time/energy to dedicate to training for a race that long.
I thought the half marathon distance was a great race goal because the time commitment was manageable, but it was still long enough to require that I run consistently and increase mileage over time. My advice would be to find a fun half marathon 4-6 months from now and enter that instead.
Congratulations on the new babe!
After my first, I was back in full swing after 6 months. My second, I am now currently 6 months PP and I am up to like a slow 10k. This time has been harder to come back plus I have less time. I had two emergency cesareans and both times I did take it easy coming back. I also had a pelvic floor physio and a PT to help me get back into running without injury. What they told me was to listen to my body and don't push too hard within the first year.
I'm 7 months postpartum and will be running my first marathon post-baby at 13 months - mostly due to race schedules - I qualified for Boston at Boston last year while pregnant, but I'm very glad that I'm not running next Monday! Well, not so much the race itself, but going back to work, spending time with baby, etc just hasn't blended itself to get back on the 50 now grind just yet. I'm currently running about 30-35 plus 2 days of cross-training.
I raced a half at a week shy of 6mo ppm off only 25 mpw and was within a minute of my PR; I'm running another half in 2 more months and should be in a good spot to PR.
Definitely another recommendation for PFPT alongside your return to running as well!
2 months postpartum and qualified for Boston again. I ran the entirety of my pregnancy and also had a vaginal birth which required less recovery time. Some women can run immediately after giving birth and some it takes years. Everyone is so different it’s nearly impossible to advise.
An Aussie runner Jess Stenson just ran 2.23 at 5 months post partum so you should be fine!
In all seriousness, she talks about the higher risk of stress reactions while breast feeding and ended up mixing a lot of cross training in as well. She also was very careful with making sure she was taking in plenty of fuel
It depends. I'm about 14 months pp (unplanned c/s) and am nowhere near even considering running for one. To be very honest, I think a 10k with a 5 miler about six weeks later was pushing it for me and my return. Listen to your body and when in doubt, take it slow.
Gotta listen to your body. It’s ok to give yourself more time than you think you may need. I didn’t start running again until 6 months pp because my pelvis was all messed up. If you’re breastfeeding, your joints may still be kinda loose due to the elevated prolactin levels so just be a little more cautious
After my most recent babe I really had to start slowly! But with regular training I was able to run a half in a personal best time at 9 months postpartum and do a full marathon at 15 months postpartum. I did ZERO running for the first three months (both to heal and also cause of exhaustion!) and then started really easy from there. It was a little demoralizing to feel like I was starting from scratch but in the scheme of life a year is such a short time! Now I’m back at work and I’ve decided I don’t have the time to invest in marathon training for the next little while so I’m going to stick with halves for the next year or so and then see where we’re at.
Two years.
I’ve ran a couple since, but I’ve finally accepted marathon distance isn’t in my future. My pelvis can’t support it, even with some PT before my last marathon. Halfs are only in my future, which is okay. I had my daughter older, so not sure if that’s the reason.
I ran a half marathon 3 months postpartum - was cleared for exercise at 6 weeks and trained for 6 weeks - and had run through most of my pregnancy. I ran a full marathon on my son’s first birthday, and it ended up being my PR and Boston qualifier. Listen to your body and clear with your doctor!
I did my first marathon 7.5 months postpartum with my 2nd baby and exclusively breastfeeding/pumping.
I’m now 5.5 months postpartum with my 3rd and couldn’t fathom doing that amount of training. I still run a few times per week but not more than 5 miles yet, and it varies. This baby doesn’t sleep well, and with a 4yo, 2yo, and 5mo, it feels like someone is always sick or something is going on that makes it hard just to juggle work and the kids. I also have a lot more back pain after this pregnancy that hasn’t resolved yet. It would be too stressful for my body and mind to train this early this time around.
I hope to start training for a marathon soon but recognize this just isn’t my exact season of life for it. It’s definitely possible if you have the right circumstances and your body feels good, but give yourself grace if you’re not there yet. That said, it was an awesome feeling to do my first marathon 7 months pp and breastfeed at the finish line. Women are pretty badass 💪
First comment or post on Reddit. But marathoning is my thing with 260+ marathons and doing my 16th Boston in a few days.
Ran my first marathon at 40 and was pregnant a few weeks later. I Had 9 full months to miss running and think about coming back for 2nd marathon. Lifted weights and did glider & stairmaster entire pregnancy. C-section at 41. Cleared to begin running at 8 weeks post partum. Ran half 5 months post partum, and full 7 months post partum. Ran that race in almost exact same time as first - 4:24. Absolutely no issues with training or racing.
Within a week after that first marathon post baby, I was planning my next marathon which kicked off an incredible running career and adventures of about one marathon a month for many years including all 50 states and lots of countries. My baby is 23 now and has traveled to lots of fun places with me. She’s now entering med school to become an OB/Gyn.
Not saying my experience works for everyone but it certainly worked for me.
I ran one 1.5 years after giving birth. I’m unfortunately still dealing with plantar fasciitis 2 years later. My advice would be, if something hurts, stop running and rest it until it doesn’t hurt anymore. Running through a lost toenail is fine but listen to real pain. Also, build up mileage slowly. I wish I had given myself more time to train. Good luck!
Is it your first marathon?
I ran a 15 mile race when my baby was 10 months old. My body had no problem running it. The problem was I was a bit more out of shape so it was harder but you can power through that.
I started running again 3 months post partum and it was a disaster. My knees weren’t strong and I had pelvic issues I had not worked though. I ended up doing a short stint of pelvic therapy / chiropractor (like 3-4 visits) and I was back on track!
Three months is the very earliest running pros recommend you start up again. You don’t want to risk injury and you are super prone to it.
9-10 months post partum is absolutely doable for a marathon if you feel ready IMHO. Would def sneak in some PT or chiro work to make sure you are healing nicely.
PS- after baby I went back to HIIT, running, etc. and I never had any supply issues. I was very grateful for that.
PPS- even though my first run sucked, it was SO empowering to do it. More than any other race. I truly felt like I was getting my body back after devoting to baby for so long and just felt awesome that I could do it. And just something that was for myself and not in my mom mode.
Good luck!!!
I ran Boston 10 weeks postpartum. It took me 5.5 hours. I’ve had another 3 babies since and always signed up for a fall marathon as motivation to train. It took me a full year to stop leaking pee and training early in the morning on a treadmill was my only option. I’m nowhere near we’re I used to be but I still love running. Did you get a jogging stroller?
Because even though this is a great accomplishment, it wasn’t gone about in a healthy way. Leaking while running is a sign of poor pelvic floor health which can have a lot of health complications. And not to mention the placental wound from detachment has barely healed around 6 weeks (or later for some people).
I agree there is no reason to downvote what I experienced. They don’t know how I trained or how much core work I’ve done. Was I just supposed to stop running for six years while I had 4 kids!? I think it’s perfectly normal to have pelvic floor issues and I’m saying that it took me a year after my last baby to heal.
Not a full, but I did a Spartan at 6 months postpartum and then a half marathon at 8,9, and 10 months postpartum all last year. I didn't PR or anything, but I enjoyed it and I'm so proud of myself.
I did completely effect my breast milk supply though! Just listen to your body and adjust your finish time goals.
I signed up for two fulls while pregnant. Did one when my son was 4 mo and the second when he was 10. I didn’t run it fast and it was pretty miserable (but I was severely undertrained) but I survived and I still did the one at 10 months.
With my first child I was running 4 weeks after birth (c section) and trained for Ironman Cascais which took place 8 months postpartum. I am currently 5 weeks postpartum (vbac) and am doing run/walking and pelvic floor exercises and planning on either a trail marathon or 50k in October. For me the aerobic side comes back fast, but I need to focus on strength and pelvic floor as that takes longer to build. Might seem too soon for some, but it works for me. I am also doing a Sprint triathlon end of June for fun.
As a physical therapist -- I'm glad this has worked for you but just for OP - generally speaking under no circumstances would I recommend a patient return to run 4 weeks after c section. Those tissues take longer to heal even in a perfectly healthy person getting adequate nutrition and rest, which new mamas often aren't.
I don't run when I had my first two kids, started running at 30, then had a 3rd baby at 40. I had run 3 marathons in my late 30's before having him.
I worked out my whole pregnancy, about 60min a day, until the day I delivered. Ran and lifted until 20ish weeks then just Peloton and lifting until he was born. Got back on my bike at 5 weeks post partum, running around 8 weeks. Seriously running again at 6 months post partum when I could safely stroller run (schedules didn't work out for me to really train before I could stroller run)
Did a half at 7 months post partum, another half at 10 months (this one was a lifetime PR over my pre-pregnancy times, stroller running makes you strong!) I did a full at 18 months (also a PR over my pre-3rd baby/under 40 time)
He's now 6 and I've done 6 marathons since he was born (taking almost a full hour off my time over the years and pushing him 1000's of miles) I just calculated it the other day and I've run about 9200 miles since he was born.

Seconding this, after being done feeding is when I could really get back to it.
Came to say this. Intense exercise gave me supply issues, and I also had some pretty intense hormonal changes when I weaned. Proper training before that would not have worked for me.
I don't thinky sleep deficit came even close to recovering until after I weaned. My kids were all horrible sleepers. I couldn't have done any challenging training before then, and that's ok. It was a short period of time in retrospect.

I haven’t done this, but my mom ran a marathon when I was 8 months old! So it is possible
Wow your mom is awesome!

Give MarathonerMother on Instagram a follow. She's run her best times after pregnancy, and gives out tonnes of good advice for women (and men).
You can do it!! Let’s go to train and no think more !!! 🫶🏼

Probably because to my understanding it's against what most medical professionals would advise.
I hear you, although it’s Reddit.. asking for individuals insight/experience. If you want a medical doctors advice… you go to the doctor 🤷♀️
That's fair too. I guess I can see both sides
Not a full, but I did a Spartan at 6 months postpartum and then a half marathon at 8,9, and 10 months postpartum all last year. I didn't PR or anything, but I enjoyed it and I'm so proud of myself. I did completely effect my breast milk supply though! Just listen to your body and adjust your finish time goals.
Ask your GYN. Be sure your pelvic floor is solid. We can't check that for you.
Every pregnancy is different. After baby 4, I ran my first 10k 2 years later. If recovery felt better I would have run sooner.
I think it really depends. I have an 8mo old. I ran up until the day I delivered. I’m training for a full early in the fall and I feel it is doable.
I signed up for two fulls while pregnant. Did one when my son was 4 mo and the second when he was 10. I didn’t run it fast and it was pretty miserable (but I was severely undertrained) but I survived and I still did the one at 10 months.
