A runner\u2019s mentality is often to run further, faster, better. But sometimes that mentality that got you a great time in that 10k race, or helped you push through \u2018the wall\u2019, won’t be appropriate for postpartum recovery. That doesn\u2019t matter if you just had your baby or you\u2019re many years postpartum. Core foundations need to be rebuilt to avoid symptoms that hinder your training. Postpartum running starts with ‘backing up’ to support your body\u2019s recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are delighted to welcome two awesome runners to share their wisdom and experience of running, with you. Both are moms who\u2019ve run before, during, and after pregnancy, and who\u2019ve struggled with their own recovery along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jen Saint Jean<\/a> is an Elite Masters Runner<\/strong> and mom of 2 girls, aged 11 and 15. She\u2019s an awesome masters athlete and can run a super speedy 4:54 mile (Incredible, right?!). Jen has used MUTU System in her own diastasis recti recovery and is a postpartum running expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suzanne Edwards<\/a> is a MUTU Pro and Postpartum Personal Trainer. <\/strong>She has done ten marathons and countless \u00bd marathons, 5 and 10k races, and now helps moms get back into running after having babies. She\u2019s a mom of 4-year-old twins and a 22-month-old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hit play on the videos below to hear more top tips from Jen and Suzanne on running postpartum and during pregnancy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important part of this whole recovery process, you need to build that foundation, strength, and connection with your core, your pelvic floor, and your breath. That work needs to be underway before you start postpartum running. The core, the pelvic floor and the breathing work is just so huge in the beginning alongside walking and alignment work. If you are going to try to get back into running that should be the first thing on your mind. MUTU System will give you the best foundational start to get you back into running. #MUTUSoYouCan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
