Does this sound like you?
- You want to run again but don't know where to start, or whether you're ready.
- 6 weeks or 3 + years Postpartum.
- You're worried about leaking, heaviness or pain when you try.
- You've been told to "just wait" or to "just start" and neither feels like a plan.
- You want structure from someone who specialises in pre and postnatal training.
What Makes This Different
Most return-to-running plans follow the calendar. This one follows your capacity. Before you begin, you complete a readiness and symptom check and choose your starting path:
Walking, strength and single-leg control. No jumping or running required.
Graded impact preparation, from low-impact control to small hops and single-leg work.
RUN
BUILD
PREPARE
Conservative run/walk intervals, with an optional 20-minute continuous run as a milestone, not a deadline.
What's Included
- Two strength sessions (about 30–40 minutes) covering lower-body strength, single-leg stability and core control
- Three pathways: Build, Prepare and Run
- Run/walk progression with manageable intervals
- Linked exercise demo videos, technique cues and easier options
- Readiness guidance, weekly reflections and a six-week progress log
- Email support from a qualified pre and postnatal coach for programme-related questions during your six weeks
What You'll Need
Dumbbells, a resistance band, a sturdy low step, supportive trainers, a timer and space to walk or run.
Who It Is Not For
This is general exercise education, not individualised programming, medical clearance or a pelvic health assessment. If you have symptoms, a complex recovery or concerns, seek clinical guidance first.Â
FAQs
How soon after birth can I start?
There's no single timeline- you could be 6 weeks or 6 years postpartum!
Complete the readiness check, and speak to your healthcare provider if you're unsure.
Build is a great place to begin.
What if I'm not ready to run?
That's fine. Building a stronger foundation without running is a valid outcome.
