Today I set out to see where my postpartum body is at in terms of dealing with training load ahead of potential autumn race plans. And I actually ran a whole trail marathon. 🥹🥳 My non-negotiable goals were not to overdo it and exhaust myself but also not to be a big chicken and bail before I needed to. ✔️✔️ I ran from my house to Firle Beacon which honestly is a little 🤯 and I finished feeling strong and like I had a lot more miles in the tank. If I’m honest I’m a little gobsmacked with how good I feel and so proud of myself. I have a history of postnatal depression and anxiety so being able to balance motherhood with a bit of self-care and training is tough but necessary for my mental health. I can’t believe I grew a human and I’ve fed him to this size of chonk *and* I can still run marathons. It might sound braggy but I’m just in awe of what the human body is capable of. So now a bit of rest and relaxation and we’ll see how I feel over the next few days before I make any race plans. Exciting times ahead 🙌🏻 #ultramum #6monthspostpartum #lfg #bigmiles
