Shownotes

Finding trustworthy and accurate information as a pregnant athlete can be extremely challenging. How much can you train? Will it hurt the baby? How high can I get my heart rate? This is the exact problem Maurya ran into when she first found out she was pregnant. Now 34 weeks, we welcome Maurya onto the podcast to share her pregnancy experience as an All-American triathlete.

Maurya tells us some of the major roadblocks she encountered regarding finding accurate information. The duo discusses the specific training programs they followed during their pregnancies, and how pregnancy changed their performance ability. They tackle the widespread misinformation about active soon-to-be moms, and highlight the importance of staying active while pregnant.
