Hi!
Running with a stroller:
I started running again with my 4yrs old on the stroller. Let me tell you the struggle is real, but not impossible. I also decided to run at least 1.50mi but I have been running 2.00mi. The first mile is getting easier but the second mile I feel that the combination of the wind, the weight of the stroller plus her weight and adding that I’m pushing up and down hill sometimes is challenging but I have been having fun. Something different to do and having company is a plus.
Question: Do you run with a stroller? What brand is your favorite?
Thanks for visiting!

Hey Catherine,
As a running dad, I very often run with a stroller. We have two kids so I need to use a double most times. The double we use is the Burley D’Lite. It’s very light weight but but not easy to steer, especially with 2 toddlers. I LOVE our Chicco single jogging stroller though. That thing is magnificent!

Thanks for your suggestion! I would check it out!
My daughter has been through more than one stroller trying to find a good one. My advice would be to not skimp. I have run with it a few times. It is different and takes some getting used to.
Think of how easy a race would seem if you trained with weight in a stroller and then raced without one!
Yeah I feel like I’m training. I haven’t run without the strollef and the baby since mid june. Let’s see on August what are the results.
I’ve noticed that moms pushing strollers seem to outrun me in every 5k I’ve ever run…
Peace be the Botendaddy
Nice! I’m not training but it feels like it pushing the stroller!
