Dr. Heather Salzer // #ICEPelvic // www.ptonice.com  In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Pelvic faculty member Heather Salzer discusses that ultramarathon runners often exhibit a unique level of physical and mental endurance that enables them to tackle extreme distances, sometimes exceeding 100 miles. Heather discusses the concept that this capacity remains intact during the postpartum period as she recounts a personal experience with a woman she met during the Chuckanut 50K ultramarathon, who was five months postpartum and still performing exceptionally well. This runner had trained throughout her pregnancy and was accustomed to longer distances, making the 31-mile race feel relatively short for her. Heather reinforces that healthcare and fitness professionals often harbor preconceived notions about what postpartum athletes can or cannot achieve. Underestimating their capabilities can lead to unnecessary restrictions on their training and performance. Heather encourages practitioners to set aside these biases and act as supportive guides for these athletes. By doing so, they can help ultramarathon runners navigate their training safely and effectively, allowing them to pursue their passion without undue limitations.
