Running Through Pregnancy with Eliza: Trimester by Trimester

About this episode

In this women-focused episode, Eliza opens up about what it really takes to keep running through pregnancy — twice over. We walk through how training changes trimester by trimester, starting with her pre-pregnancy fitness and run-streak mindset, then diving into the first-trimester reality: nausea, crushing fatigue, and easy runs that suddenly feel anything but easy. Eliza shares her experience of pregnancy after miscarriage — the caution, the scares, and the hard calls about when to pull back — and talks candidly about letting go of a strict training plan to reframe pregnancy itself as its own endurance cycle. We also get into the outside noise: judgment from strangers and well-meaning advice, and how she learned to trust her own body over rigid rules. Finally, a look ahead to postpartum running, baby logistics, and the coaching support that's helped her through it all. A real, grounded conversation for any runner navigating pregnancy — or supporting someone who is.
