Bump Back to Running

Bump Back to Running

Do you want to get back to running after giving birth?

From bump, back to running in 4 weeks.*

  • Are you a new mum who wants to run but you’re struggling with pelvic floor issues, back or joint pain when you run?
  • Perhaps it used to be easy to lace up your trainers and go but your body’s changed and you feel weak, breathless and a bit frustrated.
  • You want to escape for just a little ‘me’ time but you don’t know how to get from ‘given birth’ to #thismumruns.

If so I’d love for you to join me for my 4 week, bump back to running course.

Next course dates: 8th - 29th September.

Running after Giving Birth

Here’s what we’ll do:

Over four, 45 minute weekly sessions I’ll guide you through the four essential components of running fitness, tailored specifically for post natal bodies to get you back running after birth.

  1. Leg strength and conditioning. After pregnancy most women will be de-conditioned (AKA weak) which can put a massive strain on your joints and pelvic floor. I’ll teach you the exercises you need to do and how to progress them to get you back to running safely and stronger than when you did it before.
  2. Pelvic floor. Even if you had a C-section, you’ll have some work to do. I’ll show you how to get from pelvic floor squeezes to safely and confidently get you bouncing again. 
  3. Core strength and stability. Remember Phoebe running? We don’t want that for you.
  4. Running fitness. I’ll teach you how to steadily build your running fitness so you can confidently create a programme for yourself.

All the sessions take place face to face in an Epping park. There’s no group running required. Instead we’ll format the sessions as a circuit based fitness class. Babies are welcome to join you in their buggies but are not obligatory attendees!

*Depending on your starting point progress may take longer than four weeks but you’ll have all the tools to work through at your own pace. 

I’m Karen and I’m a Pilates and fitness instructor. I’ve worked with pre and post natal women for nearly 20 years. I’ve developed this programme with my husband and business partner Chris, who’s a specialist running coach and England Athletics coach. It’s the perfect meeting of our skills, training and client experience and we can’t wait to bring it to you.
