Postpartum Running & Underfueling: What Most Moms Don’t Realize with Stephanie Darby, RD


Listen Later

Natalie sits down with registered dietitian and mom Stephanie Darby to unpack the realities of running after pregnancy, including her experience racing while pregnant, pushing a stroller, and later realizing she had been chronically underfueling.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

  • Why postpartum runners feel wiped out even on short runs
  • How stroller running increases energy needs
  • Signs you’re not eating enough to support training
  • Why “bouncing back” is a harmful myth
  • How to rebuild fitness without burning out

If you’re a mom who runs—or wants to again—this episode will help you rethink fueling, recovery, and what progress really looks like after baby.
