anyone run while LO bikes?

DD will be 3 in March and I'm wondering if next spring/ summer she'll be too old to be in a jogger and would do well biking while I run.  If this would work then we'd get her a bike for her birthday or Christmas.  Do you think she'd still be too young to bike about 3 miles?

Re: anyone run while LO bikes?

  • I'm just starting to do this with DD, but she is 6 and is riding without training wheels. DS will be 4 in January, and I don't think I'd get a workout trying to run while he bikes. He wouldn't be able to go 3 miles, doesn't bike fast enough, plus with all of the hills around here I'm often trying to help him up or down them.

  • We've tried this with DD1 & DD2 riding bike.  DD1 - can go 3-4 miles and stays pretty well ahead of me.  But...  if there are any hills, it is hot or anything to whine about, she will.

    DD2, well she made it her first 5k on bike this summer, but we had to stop to pee 3x, get a drink about 100 times and you get the picture.  It was horrible.  After school started I told her I wanted to run.  It was her choice to sit in the double jogger or I'd run on the treadmill.  She opted to sit with her sister in the stroller for me.
