Returning to running after having a baby is an exciting milestone—but your body has changed, and adding a running pram changes your running even more.

In this episode of *The Runner's Sole Podcast, podiatrist and runner **Sharon Miller* explores everything new parents need to know about pram running—from biomechanics and injury prevention to footwear, recovery, and returning to exercise safely after pregnancy.

Running with a pram isn't simply running with extra weight. It changes your posture, arm swing, stride length, cadence, and the forces travelling through your feet, ankles, knees, and hips. Understanding these changes can help you stay injury-free while enjoying the benefits of running with your little one.

Whether you're a new parent preparing for your first pram run or you're already noticing aches and pains, this episode will help you run smarter and recover better.
