Alysia is thirty-four weeks into her pregnancy, so get this, she just ran the 800 meter on Thursday in the U.S. Track and Field Championships! Kudos to this mom, and we are sure she will have an awesome story to tell her first child! Alysia tells the NewYorkPost, “I’ve been running throughout my pregnancy and I felt really, really good during the whole process.” The five-time national champion finished the run in just 2 minutes, and 32 seconds, which is slightly slower than her personal best of 1:57.34.
Although we had concerns on whether it was a good thing to be running this late in the her pregnancy, Alysia doctor gave her the ok to run, while encouraging it as well. Montano had this to say, “That took away any fear of what the outside world might think about a woman running during her pregnancy,” Montano said. “What I found out mostly was that exercising during pregnancy is actually much better for the mom and the baby. … I did all the things I normally do … I just happened to be pregnant. This is my normal this year.” Well we heard that! We hope the best for Alysia, and her continued success. What's your thoughts on pregnant women participating in running events at 34 weeks?
