Postpartum Walk-Run Progression
Postpartum walk-run progression adds short easy jogs into walks weekly—symptom-free 24 hours later is the green light to advance intervals.
Postpartum walk-run progression alternates brisk walking with short easy jogs—adding one to two run intervals per week when symptoms stay quiet 24 hours later. Stay conversational on run segments; walk breaks are training, not failure.
Surfaces and shoes matter on looser joints.
Common questions
-
What if leakage appears on jog days?
Step back to walking-only until pelvic-floor rehab improves. Leakage is a load signal, not something to push through with thicker pads alone.
