Improve Your Stroller Running INSTANTLY: Stroller Jogging TIPS

[@annikabrubaker9536]

Thankyou SO much for doing this video!! I love how you converted the “effort miles” with stroller running! This was super helpful!

[@sylviaallen6331]

I knew it!! Yay! I've been power-walking all summer with a double stroller, only gotten brave enough to run twice, but I've never heard anyone say that you can double the points because of the extra effort it takes! THANK YOU! and thanks for the helpful tips! Might try running tonight on our evening stroll!

THANK YOU for doing my video suggestion! ❤️❤️ This was really helpful! I started your 12 week post partum plan a few months ago, but quickly switched to the prenatal plan when I found out I was expecting #2. I’m pushing a 27 lb toddler at 11 weeks pregnant. You are so inspiring!!

[@Maria-ok1pg]

Thank you so much for all of your advice. I’m a single mom that’s ready to start running again.

[@glowbodypt]

It's a pleasure to serve you. I was raised by a single mom and have so much more respect now as an adult for single moms (I'm a military spouse, often running the home solo for long periods of time). Just wanted to say WELL DONE and I'm excited you are ready to ease into running.

[@JamieTheriault]

Why am I just seeing this now after stroller running for almost 2 years! Awesome help. Any tips for stroller running while pregnant?

[@TaraHower]

The quote behind you is so funny I was just thinking what could I gift god for Father’s Day? And I read that and laughed 😂 i randomly thought about doing a 5k very cool

[@moniquebaby36]

Omg.. My pet stroller did exactly what you said it was stutter on me and stopped when I was jog on the sidewalk on swivel mode.. I thought the stroller is defected so I got it replaced.. Now I know that I just have to lock the wheels when I jog on sidewalk so it won't stutter.. I wish I knew.. Thank you!!!

[@dma.1221]

I recently got approval from the pediatrician to run with my daughter, and the two stroller runs I've done have been so defeating because it's not at all what I'm used to. Glad I found this!

[@effortlesslye1921]

Very helpful! I was beginning to feel really frustrated. I will try your tips ❤

[@nancydaniel4918]

I’ve been real into fitness as of a few months ago. I have a 4 year old and 2 year old and I’m wondering if it’s worth buying this. I mostly want to use it for easy to moderate hikes and walking to get my steps in on my active rest days. Any advice? ❤

[@kaylaanderson9102]

Thanks for the great tips, especially on form when running with a jogging stroller! I wish I had known these things with my first baby, but it’s good to learn now that I’m starting to run with my second baby in preparation for a 5K with him in the stroller next month. He is about 4.5 months old and was already over 20 pounds at his 4-month checkup (he’s a big strong boy! 😅), so I’m pushing around 48-50 pounds (stroller is 27.5 pounds) in addition to my own (still heavier) postpartum weight. 😅 This will be good info for avoiding strain and injuries. 😁 I just finished your 12-week postpartum plan and am ready to get back to running more often again! 😊

[@aliciaanderson3622]

Thanks mama. Great tips! I especially like getting a bit of extra credit points for pushing a stroller. My watch likes to turn off and say I am not running/walking at all because I'm pushing a stroller and even though it's a small thing it can really irritate me because I am actually doing more work, not less.

[@katieargotsinger9901]

This is so helpful, thank you! I’m looking forward to starting to run with my baby girl. :) What age have you typically started running with your babies? Also, would love to see a step video?

[@dwaaziwaazi]

Great stroller running tips

[@JessicaMiller-xk5lg]

Great video! I’m wrapping up the 12 week postpartum plan now and just starting some stroller running. I really enjoy the runs with my babe so far 😊. I’m looking to possibly start the 10 minute plan next. Is it necessary to purchase a box for that plan. Do you have any box recommendations?

[@glowbodypt]

Jessica congrats on finishing up my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan right now!! This says so much about you. Take 2-3 weeks unstructured in between plans. Then start the 10 Minute Plan. You ONLY need dumbbells for the 10 Minute Plan...but it's nice to have a box. I use it for Booty Finisher 3 (of course you could use a chair, too). I have a Rogue box, and highly recommend for durability. I also think you'll be so happy that the 10 Minute Plan comes with 2 x bonus runner plans! And the recipes are amazingggg. Easy, no-fuss, delicious, nutritious, they are just so good when feeding kiddos too.

[@meganweise6620]

I am a new mom and just getting into running. I tried a stroller run today and was having so much trouble. This was super helpful! I'm excited to try all these things tomorrow!

[@glowbodypt]

Congrats Megan on having a baby and I'm so glad my video was helpful for you as you get into running! Be sure to watch my glowbodypt beginner runner video too kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIqyZpJ-oNeEiZo . My 10 Minute Plan (BONUS Runner Plans) included would be absolutely perfect for you. www.glowbodypt.com/10minuteplan

[@Jayla2323]

Excited to give this a go. Have become a runner since becoming a mum and man the shin splints!! Hopefully better positioning myself helps!

[@glowbodypt]

Jaymi, I feel for you having shin splints and admire you for wanting to be a runner as a mother because it takes discipline and motivation-- clearly you have both. First watch this video to immediately address your shin splints: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIK6m2doo9ibadE Second, it sounds like you need *injury prevention* woven into your routine. But I imagine you are busy as a mom and don't want to exercise for much time. My 10 Minute Plan is ultra-time efficient and will tighten, tone, burn fat, add definition, and weave in the exact runner-specific injury prevention you need as a mother-runner! www.glowbodypt.com/10minuteplan It also comes with 2 bonus runner plans, too. But even with the 42 X time-efficient super-burny workouts AND my top 30 family friendly recipes that come with it, it's amazing and you can use these routines as you wish on top of your running or in place of it on days or weeks when you don't run at all.

[@fremen8466]

Not a mom here but a dad. WOW what a beast! I'm trying to get back into running and I'm trying to figure out how to do it with my son as my wife works until very late. Thanks a ton for all the advice!

[@glowbodypt]

Really glad this was helpful for you Jacob as you get stroller running with your son. If your wife works long hours, my 10 Minute Plan was literally designed for her: busy women who want to get in an incredible workout with just dumbbells and body weight, but have very little time. She can do them over lunch breaks or in the morning before work. It also comes with a beginner runner and bonus runner plan which you could snag from her and use to schedule your running performance optimally, too. www.glowbodypt.com/10minuteplan

[@glowbodypt]

10 Minute Plan is here for the details! www.glowbodypt.com/10minuteplan

[@KatieAkrop]

This is so helpful!! I just got back into jogging/running after hip surgery! I have a 2 year old so i often can only do it with the stroller and it's a struggle!! Thank you

[@marissaruedel8780]

This video is so perfect! Just upgraded our double jogger 🙌. Pushing two kids total of 60is lbs. this makes so much sense the conversion of stroller running to normal and steps not pace. Video is so so helpful!! Is there anything different I should know for running on dirt roads?

[@SortiaNZ]

helpful video, thank you! would love to know which strollers (especially doubles) you have tried and which ones you like/dislike

[@glowbodypt]

I've used the phil and teds double (front and back seat) and it's great for 2 TINY kids...but once they grow to age 3, it's too tight for the big kid in the back. I love my bob double now and will never replace it, easier to push and stable. Many of my fav products including this stroller (the newest version) are linked here www.glowbodypt.com/products

[@rastafam1146]

Yes, thank you so much. This is three years old but very new for me and I am training for my first ever long-distance run and I have a two-year-old my stroller does that wobble wobble weevil thing and I was thinking I should take it to a bike shop or something? Or is it me that is causing not shaking

[@glowbodypt]

Your stroller should NOT be wobbling! Good for you for noticing this red flag. You could try locking it to be straight position (really easy, the knob is on the front wheel) and if that does not work, bring it to a bike shop. What distance run are you preparing for?

[@duryeahunterscoville9657]

Super helpful! Thank you!

[@AshAddieJason]

Love this video and the points about converting your effort miles, watching cadence and effort not pace. I have two questions: 1) I have an older version of the double Bob with swivel wheel but the handle bar is not adjustable...have you seen anything that will convert them to adjustable? 2) I’ve noticed on the jogging strollers, there are adjustments for shock absorption. Do you have any recommendations for adjusting those?

[@christina7475]

Thank you for this video, it is so helpful! I’ve been running for about 2 months with a double stroller, a 20 lb 11 month old and a 35lb 3 year old. I’ve been seeing all of this “advice” on social media that cardio won’t burn fat, just muscle, and that running will just eat away at your muscles and won’t burn fat. What is your take on that? How many days a week running is too much?

[@NoblePeril]

Thank you!! I have worried that jogging with a stroller is bad for my posture or whatnot, and I really like the tips for running properly here!

[@glowbodypt]

Glad it was helpful for your stroller jogging confidence!

[@HWhite-jm6df]

Hi Ash! Does it matter if you have a double side by side stroller versus a double front and back stroller?

[@HWhite-jm6df]

GlowBodyPT to get the same results.. can I use what you’re saying for a side by side for a back/front jogger?

[@AprylHandy]

Hey Ashley! Excellent video here. Liked as requested :). Great job as always! I’ve got a question. If you’ve ever ended up with any amount of inflammation in your knees, what have you had success with in terms of eliminating that? I’m big on regular long Epsom salt baths, normal icing, and sticking the legs straight up a wall. Is there anything else I am possibly missing?

[@mariannefaucheaux7428]

This is so helpful! I’d love to see a step-up workout video so I can add to my advanced 5k plan!!

So glad I just stumbled across your channel. I miss running. I haven’t run in years now and want to get back into it. Currently pregnant with baby #6 🤯. Our youngest three will be 3 under 3 and I haven’t run since pregnancy with the eldest of this set. Hoping to slowly condition back.

[@glowbodypt]

Once a runner, you will have it inside you and you can always be a runner again. Congratulations on your 6th baby on the way. What a hero!! You've already snagged my free prenatal training schedule to save yourself some time, right?? www.glowbodypt.com/prenatalworkouts It is a click-and-go calendar that takes you week-by-week through your pregnancy to save you tons of time and ensure you are being safe at exactly your stage in pregnancy. From 33 weeks onward, you know you can continue to use any of my 2nd or 3rd trimester workouts listed past 26 weeks on the schedule as long as your body feels up to it. It speaks a lot about you to be taking such good care of yourself (and baby!) this pregnancy! Hope to get to know you more on GlowBodyPT Instagram.

Is your 5K program okay to use while pregnant?

[@iamaShrub]

Ashley! Thank you so much for this video- I agree w everyone, SO HELPFUL. So you said you use a Bob Double? Is that your top pick? And Did you at one time have a stroller that carried three children? Lol. I am pregnant with my third and would like to be equipped to head out with all of them if possible :) thank you again!!!

[@glowbodypt]

Hi Heather, it's Ashley. Congrats on expecting your 3rd baby and so nice to meet you as a fellow mother runner. 100% recommend the BOB. It is an investment, but worth it if you are someone who will run 1 or more times per week. I use to have a Phil and Teds Navigator and would recommend that only if your kids are 2 yrs apart and you live in the city (narrow sidewalks - super helpful). Otherwise, get a double bob wide. Mine is linked here: www.glowbodypt.com/products

[@iamaShrub]

The front wheel will lift if your handlebars are too low. Try lifting the handlebars a bit higher and this should stop it right away. : )

I have 3 kiddos ages 8, 5, and 8months old and I've started with walking 1 mile every day and I want to build up to running.

[@glowbodypt]

I would invest in a single jogger if I were you! 5 yr olds and 8 yr olds are too big to push. They will need to ride their bikes or scooters. BOB is my favorite brand.

[@katelyngraham-karels6449]

What stroller do you use?

[@SmellsLikeTeachSpirit]

How old should baby be when you start running with them?

[@glowbodypt]

Depends on your normal running surface (track, paved sidewalk that's nice and smooth?) these options are the best for a smooth ride that puts baby right to sleep and is less "bumpy" than rocking your baby to sleep! If you're limited to bumpy trail gravel you'll need to wait MUCH longer, til baby's head is stable. I ease into walk run intervals on my 12 Week Post Pregnancy Plan as early as 9 weeks postpartum but stick to track terrain til baby is older. Any stroller pamphlet will tell you to wait til at least 6 months old, but again, depends on surface and ensuring you have a carseat insert.

[@kelliritchie8812]

What kind of stroller do you use?

double bob! They've updated it, I have the older model but have the exact version of the newier model linked in my favorites: www.glowbodypt.com/products

[@garethosborne6371]

Front wheel swivel is not safe for anything faster than walking, read all stroller user manuals! Always run with fixed wheel even on smooth ground. The swivel wheel can get knocked of course and cause the stroller to topple when used at speed.

[@glowbodypt]

I've run with 2 different jogging strollers and I'm not sure if you meant the swivel wheel can get knocked of course or if you mean "off course" but regardless, I haven't had this happen with the BOB or Phil and Teds. Sure, read your stroller manuals but this video is my personal experience and would be miserable trying to navigate a stroller on a track with a locked front wheel.

[@garethosborne6371]

@@glowbodypt I agree is harder to manage with the locked wheel, I have twins in a Thule chariot but most people will run on public paths, running trails etc were the ground is not smooth unlike the track. This can cause the stroller to tip over if the front wheel gets knocked from straight by a stone or dip in the ground . Safely first

[@amytang744]
