What is the longest distance you have done pregnant?  I found out yesterday we are expecting number 4 and I am signed up for Augusta the end of September.  I have been training and am not worried about doing it.  I am just curious what some other's experiences have been.

Congrats!!
I gave up training and racing while pg (personal reasons) but I know there was someone I think 5 months pregnant who did Mrs. T's in Chicago way back when.

Good luck!

I did do a 5K once pregnant, but I didn't know I was until later.

As long as you don't overheat, I think it's fine!

First pregnancy - 1 5 km at about 4 weeks.

Second pregnancy - 1 5 km two days before BFP - raced all out

                                1 sprint tri @ 5 weeks: 400 yd swim, 25 km bike, 5 km run - raced just slightly under all out (swam and biked almost all out, ran at 80-90 %)

                                1 sprint tri@ 7 weeks: 600 yd swim, 12 mile bike, 5 km run - raced everything slightly below all out.

 

My training consited mostly of running 5 days a week -  4x1 hr runs and 1 long run 1.5-2 hrs.  I did this until after the second sprint tri.  Morning sickness hit hard at that point so I only ran when I could.

Through both of my pregnancies, I ran 4x/week anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.  This was more difficult with my 2nd pregnancy, because it was summer and 90-100 degrees outside.  I ended up doing most of my runs indoors on the treadmill.  I did a 5K at 4 months with my 2nd pregnancy.  And by 5 months with both, I had trouble keeping my HR down so I ended up making the transition "power walking" through the end of my pregnancy.  I also didn't ride my bike after about 5 months, mainly for fear of falling.  I wish I had been swimming back then, because that would have been the perfect exercise for the later months!
