Running while pregnant can be safe for most women** â If you exercised before getting pregnant, you can often keep running during pregnancy, but you should talk to your doctor first to make sure it's right for your situation.

Listen to your body and make adjustments as you go** â As your pregnancy progresses, you may need to slow down, run shorter distances, or switch to walking, and that's completely normal and healthy.
