Congratulations, You Did it!
Congratulations on Completing The Postnatal Running Program!
I am so proud of you for all of the hard work you have done throughout this 20+ weeks of training to get back into running. Hopefully The Postnatal Running Program has you feeling stronger and more confident in your body.
Remember being postnatal is a lifetime journey and isn’t just for a short period of time, continue to treat your body with the love and kindness it deserves! Rehabbing your body does not end now that you finished this training plan, so I recommend that you continue following the posture recommendations and exercise flows weekly.
For continued results
Now that you have completed the program, you have more freedom and flexibility in your running and training plan. Here are a few important factors to consider moving forward.
Continue to be mindful of your posture and movement patterns, review the posture videos every few months just to keep it fresh in your memory.
Try and continue with a strength routine 2-4 days per week. This can be a combination of the exercises in this program and other exercises you enjoy doing
Continue doing the upper body and lower body corrective exercise flows to continue to work on common muscle imbalances in runners and moms.
Try and limit the amout of sit ups and crunches that you do. I personally don’t think they are ever a functional or useful core exercise and they can still put a considerable strain on your linea alba, even if you are 6 months postnatal. Remember anyone can develop a diastasis.
Continue to increase your running frequency, intensity and/or duration as it feels good for you!
