Should I run with a stroller?As always, there are a few things you will need to consider to stay injury-free.
#1 thing to look for in a jogging stroller.# RunPainFree's common sense PSA: if you are on cobblestone streets, on a jacked-up road, or going down a hill – use your gorilla grip on the stroller!
Take away lessonRunning with a stroller is an exceptional tool for parents. You'll find you have more opportunities in the day to run, and your kids will love it. If you've been thinking about running with a stroller, make sure you run behind it with an open gate. Keep both hands on the stroller, but play with tapping it in front of you. Other than that, get out there and enjoy running with your kids!
