Thirty per cent of the non-stroller group reported an overuse injury<\/a> during the first three years of parenthood, compared with 19 per cent of stroller runners. When the researchers accounted for mileage, the stroller group\u2019s injury rate was 0.19 injuries per 1,000 miles, versus 0.42 in the non-stroller group\u2014a difference of about 55 per cent.<\/p>\n More miles, fewer injuries<\/p>\n And the stroller runners weren\u2019t running less. Between the time their children were six and 12 months old, they logged 34 per cent more mileage than the runners who ran stroller-free.<\/p>\n ,Allison Altman-Singles, a professor at Penn State Berks and the study\u2019s leading authorsays the handlebar may change the load on the body. \u201cWhen you run with a stroller, you unweight the body a little bit,\u201d she said in a news release<\/a>, explaining that some downward force is redirected through the stroller.<\/p>\n Earlier research on biomechanics suggests that pushing a stroller changes a runner\u2019s gait. A runner\u2019s stride length shortens, and they are forced to lean their torso farther forward, so running with a stroller may not necessarily be kinder on every part of a runner\u2019s body, and more research is warranted.<\/p>\n A fast new stroller-mile record<\/p>\n Stroller running has just had an exciting new moment in the record books. Earlier this month, Ohio runner Stephen Biebelhausen pushed his one-year-old daughter, Blake, through a mile in 4:17 at Cleveland\u2019s Guardian Mile.<\/p>\n Biebelhausen ran 4:17, faster than the current Guinness World Records mark of 4:26.29, set by Silas Frantz in 2025. The performance still needs Guinness verification to become official. \u201cI thought it would be fun to just pop her in there,\u201d Biebelhausen told Cleveland\u2019s News 5<\/a>. \u201cI looked up the course record. I was like, \u2018I could probably do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anyone who has pushed a stroller while jogging is familiar with the added effort (and hassle) it can…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":572989,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[42642,111,139,69,147,282415,282416,282417],"class_list":["post-572988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-injury-prevention","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-science","tag-stroller-running","tag-stroller-running-and-injury-risk","tag-stroller-running-records"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=572988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/572988\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/572989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=572988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=572988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=572988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"running](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/stroller-run-e1786988182162-1024x577.jpg\")
