Can you run while PG?

an odd (& maybe slightly dumb) question, sorry....

I want to start training for a 10k they have every year in my area for St. Patty's day. obviously we are not PG yet, but are actively TTC right now. I just don't want to start this & then have to quit once I get PG.

Will it be ok to still train & run the race if I do get PG in the midst of it?

    Yep!  If you want to do this, start now.  You aren't supposed to take on an new strenuous exercises while PG, but if it is something that you were doing prior to getting PG, then you are fine.

    Yes, if you were a runner before you got pregnant. A friend of mine is 28 weeks and just ran a half marathon this weekend and she has always been a runner. I don't think you get your heart rate up too high though. I know she says she definitely has to run slower than usual.

    a marathon at 28 weeks?!? wow!! good for her!!   My OB said my heart rate couldn't be above 140, which I hit pretty easily so I had to cut back on my running and spin classes.

    Here's a post I happen to see the other day on H&F that might help. It includes some links and blogs, etc.

    Sorry that it's not clicky!

    Yes, I ran almost every day during the 1st tri, even though i was sick w/ m/s. By my 2nd tri, I couldn't run w/o puking, but I rode my bike to the beach (less than a mile) every morning until about 5mo, when my Asthma went out of control. Shouldn't be a prob at all.

    Within reason, yes.

    As mentioned above, the key is to keep hydrated, not elevate your heart rate too much, or overheat and to NOT start any increase once pregnant.

    Most of the people I know who run through their pregnancy scale back or at least slow their pace at some point and stop toward the back half of their third tri.  GL!  I have always wanted to run during pregnancy but I was not able to..
