I'm no running till Mara.... Unless I do a couple of miles to collect my bike from it's service on Saturday morning :). I've had an uber taper :-o Rested I liked to call it... Wound up like a tightly coiled spring.... Which hopefully can be controlled for the first 22 miles!

My postnatal class had a talk from a pushymothers instructor yesterday. She said no running or high impact until 6 months (longer if pelvic area pain) :-O because changes to pelvis alter your gait, & centre of gravity has changed! Oh, and no Zumba as it's too much abdo/pelvic wiggling.

I need to start looking for my core...

LOL sorry Lizzie prolly not supposed to laugh but I did :)

I had pelvic pain while preggars an stopped running about 5/6 months but starts easy and not that often 4 weeks after. I did get the odd pain/twinge like feeling in the first couple of months I think similar ish to the previous pain but I didn't run often enough to keep aggravating it. And there's others on here done way more running way sooner than I! Think the 6 week thing is caution enough but 6 months is funny :)

Now... Core... I do need to work on that :-o

Good stuff Toks! That's me nae running till mibbe a jogette on Saturday and then it'll be marathon time :-)

Doh forgot the "everyone's different" caveat and that instructor types can't allow themselves to be blamed for anything happens to you due to exercise.

Who knows - maybe they've had a bad experience an taken to the mega cautious side of the fence. Also I think, like preggars, if it's something you're no at all used to then gung ho in there may no be the right choice :-s

Who said core? I did a couple of days when I did a fair amount of core work and thought - yes this will get me sorted, then a few days of Bodie not settling at too well at night and it's out the window and forgotten about! Must get back on it again.
I ran over to the club last night and chatted to everyone for half an hour and then ran home. I really miss it but I can't get a baby sitter every week and certainly not twice a week to go along so last night i ran down there with the buggy and asked a coach if I was allowed to buggy run with the club. They are going to discuss it at a coaches meeting and maybe a committee meeting and let me know - I bet they say no :-(

Oh ((((Elsie))) same here for me I cannot get baby sitter to go out and do dance classes that I love, such as belly dancing, street dance, hola hoop classes on the weekend and I miss it as Samuel won't even allow anyone to have him and mr toks works away :-( it is challenging getting training done and that is why I have a treddy at home at least I can use that if I cannot get out to exercise!

Thanks Vicksta :-)

An GO GO KP too BOING BOING BOING

I hope it works out Elsie. Can't really imagine there should be a real issue so long as the folks you're with are generally happy an some 'rules' for you to keep back a bit / out the way / maybe fit a bell if it's likely you'll needing to warn folks you're there (or shouting) - fingers crossed
