Whenever you and your pelvic-floor PT decide. Gentle Mile is built for the first walk back — whether that’s six weeks or sixteen months. There is no minimum starting fitness and no end date. C-section, vaginal, first or fifth: the practice begins where you are today.

Yes for running — the BJSM 2019 Returning to Running Postnatal guidelines say the same thing, and we follow them faithfully. Gentle Mile writes a one-page note for your appointment, so the conversation with your PT is precise. We never override their clearance. Walking before clearance is fine, and where most people begin.

A monthly one-page summary — your walks, your check-in answers, what we kept and what we held back. Designed to read in two minutes during the appointment slot you actually get.

Two minutes in the morning for the check-in. The walk itself is whatever you decide — ten minutes most days, longer when the body says so. Gentle Mile is built for women whose hands are already full.
