Part 1: Start here
Running with a stroller can be one of the easiest ways for a parent to get outside, move and be with their child at the same time. It is also different from running alone. You push a weight, you steer one-handed or with a light touch, and you manage a passenger who has opinions about naps, snacks and sunshine.
This guide is a six-week plan for parents and caregivers who can already jog or run about 15 to 20 minutes, or who are comfortable with brisk walking and ready to begin a walk-run. It covers when it is safe to start, what stroller to use, how to push, how to look after your passenger, a short strength routine and a week-by-week plan.
Please read this first. This guide is general education, not medical advice. If you have had a baby recently, check with your doctor or midwife before you return to running. Many people are advised to wait for a postpartum check, and your recovery may be different from someone else's. Check with your doctor before starting if you have a health condition or are recovering from injury or surgery. Stop and see a doctor if you have chest pain or pressure, dizziness, fainting, heavy bleeding, a feeling of heaviness or bulging in your pelvis, leaking that is new or getting worse, or sharp pain in a joint, bone or tendon.
