Additional Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy Information
|
Each year, about 785,000 women runners who are pregnant or who have recently given birth hear conflicting fitness advice from friends, family, and even doctors. Save for a handful of magazine articles, these women have nowhere to turn for accurate, up-to-date information.
Until now. The Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy is a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive look at the how-tos and benefits of running for expectant mothers. And the benefits abound. Even a modest pregnancy running program gives women a reduced risk of gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and premature birth. It also leads to fewer cesareans, faster recovery after delivery, and even smarter babies!
From the worldwide authority on running, the Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy offers the latest, most detailed information available, along with real-life tips to help you succeed. Inside you'll find:
- Advice from experts including sports gynecologists, nutritionists, and exercise physiologists
- The most current heart rate and training guidelines
- Pre-pregnancy and pregnancy stretching and strength programs
- Cross-training suggestions including yoga, Pilates, swimming, and more
- Running-specific menu plans for a healthy pregnancy
- Strategies for preventing injuries
- Money-saving tips for choosing the best maternity running gear
- Guidance for postpartum running
The Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy gets to the bottom of the how-much-is-too-much debate once and for all. Pregnant runners will never be puzzled by conflicting advice again.

What Customers Say About Runner's World Guide to Running and Pregnancy:
|

This book has good info, but it wasn't anything I couldn't find online at reputable sources.
I appreciated the stories of the women in the book who have run though multiple pregnancies and are realistic about expectations of when to get back to racing. I stopped running when I became pregnant but this book helped me to get back to it. The basic advice is to run at a comfortable pace, slowing to a walk if you are so out of breath you can't talk and stopping if you feel dizzy, etc.
I thought running was a taboo for pregnant ladies. I really like this book. GREAT book. It shows you step by step by month on how to run, eat, etc. I TTC but I'm also a runner. I was very happy to know you can be pregnant and run at the same time.
I am almost 16 weeks, still running strong and look forward to continuing to run through my pregnancy. They debunk some of the exercise myths (don't let your heart rate get above 140) and provide reasonable guidelines to active pregnant women. I picked up Running and Pregnancy before we even started trying to conceive so that I would be educated about my exercise choices once we achieved a pregnancy. I am pleased to say that this book is very realistic and doen-to-earth.
Some of them ran all the way through, some switched to cross training and some had to stop. This is a fun book that details briefly the changes that happen to your body during pregnancy and focuses on the runners body. I also passed it on to my mother when she had issues about my exercise.I recommend it to any runner thinking about having a baby. There is a whole spectrum of experiences.It is an inspirational and supportive book, and helped me get through my exercise on days when I did not feel like it. The author had first hand experience of running throughout her pregnancy. The factual data is supported by 2 page case studies of women runners who had children.
