BFing runners?

I want to run a 5K in May but I need to know how to train so that it doesnt effect my supply.  The supply issue is very important because I am BFing twins and just barely have enough milk.

I agree -- just listen to your body and don't try to do too much too fast. And hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!

Ah man, my boobs hurt just thinking about all that bouncing.

Exercise has never impacted my supply. I started running again at 4 wks & reintroduced hot vinyasa yoga at 6 wks.  Just make sure you are eating enough & drinking tons of water.  As PP said, ease in slowly.  Good luck!

I'm training for a half marathon in May. I make sure to stay hydrated & I don't limit calories - I eat healthy when I'm hungry. I've been running/exercising since 6 wks PP & haven't had supply problems.
