286. ARE RUNNING GOALS OVER AFTER YOU HAVE KIDS?

8 years ago, I was a 3:14 marathoner when I announced I was pregnant with my first kid and a lot of people had A LOT of things to say. The tone of many tended to be that I would no longer have ‘time’ for running or some variation of that statement. While I understand where people are coming from, there are better ways to phrase the message. While having kids has changed our lives and required us to adapt how and when we train, it is not an impossible feat. In todays podcast we will be sharing what worked for us over the years to continue to train after kids as well as some wisdom on giving yourself grace during the time period. Change is not an inherently bad thing. You don’t have to bounce back or crush crazy goals. Your goals can change and that is OKAY too.

Kids do change your life but it’s not a ‘bad thing’

Forces you to prioritize what is important

Maybe you realize running isn’t that important to you

Puts it into perspective

Running used to be EVERYTHING & the pressure was so high .After kids, I no longer cared as much and it helped me actually reach my potential by not allowing time to overtrain or over think

You won’t have as much free time

Can help you be more efficient

Helps you be mentally tougher

How do you even find time to train as a parent: what if training is no longer enjoyable because you have to do it during times you hate?

Keep trying until you find a routine that works for you

Hating something is a sign that something is not right

Don't live in resentment change your life!

Change your job

Change where you live

Change SOMETHING or you will remain stuck

USE YOUR RESOURCES

Gym with childcare

Stroller run

Babysitter/nanny for runs

TREADMILL IN HOME

Invest in your health!

“It’s okay to ask for help” they mean with things like this!

Just because you don’t bounce back doesn’t mean you won’t eventually get to where you want to be

Partner communication/help

“Who is watching the baby??”
