Natalie sits down with registered dietitian and mom Stephanie Darby to unpack the realities of running after pregnancy, including her experience racing while pregnant, pushing a stroller, and later realizing she had been chronically underfueling.
In this conversation, you’ll learn:
- Why postpartum runners feel wiped out even on short runs
- How stroller running increases energy needs
- Signs you’re not eating enough to support training
- Why “bouncing back” is a harmful myth
- How to rebuild fitness without burning out
If you’re a mom who runs—or wants to again—this episode will help you rethink fueling, recovery, and what progress really looks like after baby.
