Runners Paula Radcliffe and Kara Goucher are famous for standout performances in the marathon and other events. Now both women, pregnant and due on the same day in September, are also training together during pregnancy.
The summer issue of New York Runner, the magazine of the New York Road Runners club, offers a lengthy question and answer session with both running stars, who offer insights into their own training programs while pregnant and tips on staying fit during pregnancy.
Ms. Goucher, 32, whose 2:25:53 at the 2008 New York City Marathon remains the fastest-ever debut for an American, says she has been surprised at the effect pregnancy has had on her training.
