Postpartum recovery involves physical, emotional, and hormonal changes. Running can be safely resumed after the postpartum period allows for adequate healing and restoration of pelvic floor strength. While recovery time varies, most women can start running 6-8 weeks after vaginal birth and 8-12 weeks after cesarean birth. However, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any exercise program postpartum. Listen to your body, gradually increase intensity, and prioritize pelvic floor exercises to prevent diastasis recti and ensure cardiovascular well-being.
