Week 9: A Little More Energy, A Long Run Win & What I’m Supplementing

Week 9 felt… different. In a good way. After getting absolutely humbled by Week 8 exhaustion, I’m finally feeling a little more like myself. The nausea has backed off, the bone-deep fatigue isn’t as intense, and I was able to get in a long run without feeling completely wiped out after. Huge win. In this episode I’m sharing: What shifted physically from Week 8 to Week 9 How my runs and strength workouts are feeling right now Why that post–long run exhaustion finally eased up The supplements I’m prioritizing during pregnancy (and why) The not-so-glamorous update: sleep is still… not great We’ll talk about the reality of fluctuating symptoms, how I’m adjusting expectations week to week, and what I’m focusing on nutritionally to support both baby and performance. Because pregnancy training isn’t about chasing fitness. It’s about supporting physiology   Want to try Lagoon Pillows? Take their sleep quiz here. Use code serenamarierd to get 15% off your pillow!
