The Pregnant Triathlete
Pregnancy is a normal condition. But can a triathlete continue training during pregnancy and is it safe to do so?
In the absence of complications, pregnant women should follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine recommendations of moderate exercise for 30 minutes or more on most, if not all days of the week. The goal of training during pregnancy is to maintain fitness while avoiding fetal distress.
