Mom's who run with DC in a jogging stroller...
Not sure if this belongs on Fitness or here so I figured I'd start here.
When you run with DS, do you feel it helps build your endurance or just slow your pace down? Meaning, is there any real training benefit?
Just curious.

I get stronger from it, but it definitely slows me down.
When I run without him or bike without him, I am shocked how easy the workout is.

I think it builds my endurance. I have a double jogger and it is hard...I started out slow and was able to build myself up to a longer and faster run.

Re: Mom's who run with DC in a jogging stroller...
I'm new to both jogging and jogging with the stroller. I find that it is much harder for me when I am pushing the jogging stroller and sometimes I feel like I am barely moving. But like a PP said, it makes jogging that much easier when you don't have the stroller!

IMO, there is no training benefit. I just jog with him so that I exercise and jog. I train at the gym.

Re: Mom's who run with DC in a jogging stroller...
Thanks everyone. I run with DS in his stroller 1/2 the time and by myself the other half (15+ miles per week) and I've noticed my endurance and speed has improved dramatically. I was trying to figure out if running with him has helped that or if it's just because I'm getting better at running!

Re: Mom's who run with DC in a jogging stroller...
it's probably a little of both. I have read that it's possible to burn 20% more with the jogging stroller, but there are very few studies on this.
