Will my running training and pregnancy? Learn from the experience of this "running mother" Diana Aleksyuk.

A few years ago I could not imagine that it is possible: to be an active, healthy, young mother, who is a habitual way of life.
Now, in order: 5 years ago, father in law offered to take part in a charity Chestnut Run. At that time, my self-training were limited to short not regular crosses. Prior to the start of the month was 2, I have decided to prepare yourself - learned to run 5 km without going to step on a nearby stadium, alternating running with walking.
"Chestnut Run" - sports and charity event, which aims to bring together people who love running and save the lives of children with heart defects. Attended by the whole family got to the finish line in 26 minutes, when I experienced my first euphoria of the runner at the finish line.
Regular self-training has become a routine exercise, so I joined the running club. Since we ran inseparable. Changed life style, interests and social circle. Being happy is simple - if you are a runner. Workout 4-5 times a week, new goals, participate in competitions. During this time I ran 14 official half-marathon (the best time - 1:48:39, Vienna 2017) and 2 Marathon (the best time - 4:07:53, Vilnius 2017).

In July 2019 heard the good news - we are expecting a baby. Thinking about how not to run, it was not. I understand that there will be adjustments in the training plan. Especially, moderate exercise is essential for a healthy pregnancy. Of course, the allowable level of activity at everyone and depends on the initial training.

Since before pregnancy I regularly practiced 5 years old, the doctor advised to reduce the load by 50%, eliminate some of the exercises: acceleration at a high pulse, twisting to the press, jumping. Informing about the pregnancy of his coaches the running of the club, from the group of marathon runners, I moved to the weaker group. The script of my training was the same, but I listened to their feelings or do anything that causes discomfort. If during special running exercises, some exercise was not comfortable - I go to jogging. During pregnancy my average running volume of 40-50 km per week.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday - club workouts that include: warm-up, the main tread work, hitch, power exercises at the press, back, stretching. Average volume per session - 10 km. On weekends traditionally lengthy cross - ran in a comfortable, conversational pace 6.30-7.30 at 12-20 km.
Pregnancy was perfect: tests were excellent, emotionally, is probably the most comfortable state, which I have experienced. Adjust their diet to stay in shape during pregnancy gained 7.5 kg. It is grown only in the volume of the stomach, which was also quite compact and does not cause discomfort during sleep or exercise.
With 20 weeks of the beginning of the lead InstagramWhere he shared information and their lifestyle. For Ukraine, the pregnant runner - an unusual sight. It is difficult to find a lot of information about the sport during pregnancy among Ukrainian publications, while for the United States or European countries remain active during pregnancy - the norm, if a woman has no medical contraindications. I decided to talk about their positive happy pregnancy, thereby eliminating the Ukrainians from the Soviet stereotype: Pregnancy - the disease. Pregnancy - a magical state, when she ran.

I find a relationship between a comfortable, active pregnancy and easy delivery. My final treadmill training was 4 hours before the onset of labor. The birth went easily, rapidly, without anesthesia. Our daughter Diana was born with a weight of 3080 grams, an increase of 49 cm, estimate 9 Apgar.
She resumed training a week after giving birth - beginning with a 5 km cross-country, as once - 5 years ago "Under the Chestnut Tree" began running my story. When her daughter turned 3 weeks - ran her first half-marathon runners in the role of mother, and six months later the family were flying to Munich - run Generali Munchen Marathon on 13 October.
During pregnancy Diana phase shift is of the order of 2000 km of me, so plan joint starts: May 26 uchuvstvuem in your favorite Chestnut Run, now, as the Ambassador of the race.
Running - it's my inspiration, health and harmony. My habits - habits are the future of the child. Therefore, the Diana has all the chances to grow up healthy and happy girl.
