How to return to running post-partum with Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Send us Fan MailThis week I'm talking to one of the most, if not THE most, enthusiastic running coaches and trainers out there; Jessica Marie Rose Leggio from RunPainFreeNow.comIn addition to having  qualifications and experience coming out the wazoo, she really cares about women's health and injury prevention and that passion comes through in everything she talks about.In one of the most enjoyable conversations I have had on the podcast, we spoke for about an hour about how to get back into running safely when you're post-partum.How long before you can start back up?What are the things you should be focusing on first.Why muscle activation is at the basis of every good post-partum/rehab program.Why the psoas muscle is soo ridiculously important, and yet too often ignored by coaches and trainers.Why foamrolling is the number one thing every runner should do post-partum (but make sure you do it properly!!!)And much, MUCH, more.Jessica's FREE webinar www.runpainfreenow.com/free-training Her new book; www.runpainfreenow.com/book Even I am getting myself a copy of this, and I HATE running!! This book is guaranteed to be worth it's weight in gold in terms of knowledge You can find the RunPainFree podcast here if you're an Apple user, and here if you're not.Below are some of the episodes and things we discussed that are well worth listening to.Hamstring dysfunction https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/runpainfree-podcast/id1337184561?i=1000443154484 Workouts hurt you as a runner  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/runpainfree-podcast/id1337184561?i=1000443154483 Psoas https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/runpainfree-podcast/id1337184561?i=1000466016685In the News this week; I took it from the IHCAN editor's note but the paper listed in this Guardian article is fascinating, if slightly depressing, reading. 1 in 10 of all medications prescribed in England are NOT necessary and a lot more medication is prescribed when lifestyle changes would be significantly more beneficial. I don't think this comes as a schock to anyone familiar with the NHS but it does highlight the need for change.Remember to follow us on Instagram and Facebook for the competitions, wisdom and cute videos.
