Welcome to another episode of the What Next Mum Podcast.
Today I am speaking to Dr Juliet McGrattan @drjulietmcgrattan - a GP, runner, author of “Run Well and “Sorted - The Active Women’s Guide to Health” and Mum of 3. Juliet is also the co-founder of 261 Fearless UK.
In this episode we talk about Juliet’s own fitness journey, the fact that she was too tired to run after her first pregnancy with a baby not keen on sleep and how she started running after her second pregnancy and become more committed after her third pregnancy. She also gives some great advice to new mums getting back to running - start slow, make sure your core and pelvic floor are stable and consider waiting until 12 weeks post birth.
As Juliet became more interested in running she contacted Women’s Running Magazine ta ask if she could write for them which led to her writing features and a Q&A column. This led her on to writing her 2 books.
As a co-founder of 261 Fearless UK Juliet is a keen advocate of women’s running communities as a supportive space She is now working on an online programme - Activate You - which is designed for those who want to be more active.
