Postpartum Running Journey

A woman named Anna made a significant return to running after giving birth, initially using a structured training plan to ease back into the activity. This plan allowed her to gradually progress, as she later transitioned to training for her first 10K. The transformative impact of this structured approach was evident as she exceeded her own expectations during her runs. The addition of new training preferences in the app further supported her journey, accommodating the needs of busy individuals and new parents.
