I trained (turbo, wts & swimming) until the day I had Charlie. We found very little information available for pregnant athletes but I just got on with it and monitored my HR. After pregnancy I bounced back really fast and managed a duathlon at 9 weeks postnatal. My biggest problem has been keeping injury free as your ligaments are very lax afterwards, but I have done alot of core work. We would really appreciate more information and stories of athletes antenatal & postnatal. I have never seen any other pregnant women in our gym. I also received variable comments from other people when I was training (men tended to be very judgemental, whereas women were encouraging). I personally think you can continue right to the end and get back into training as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing your stories.

I perceive it as a more forefoot rolling, than what i often see with people wearing newton - a forefoot stab / bounding on the forefoot.

I am struggling to get out doors in this weather and have been training alot in the gym and at home on my spin bike. One session I like to do in the gym is a 1hr cardio workout. Warm up on cross treader for 5 mins, 15 mins on rower, 15 mins on cycle, 20 mins on running machine & 5 mins on cross treader. After I swim for about 30 mins. A good Saturday morning workout and not too boring because of the variety.
