hi,

did a long walk with kids in double buggy (I've a phil & teds) and jogged a few times during the walk - found tho that my shoulders got really tense and sore while running with it. Any tips for that?

Cheers!

    I always find it uncomfortable to run pushing a stroller. Most of the handles are too low (for me anyway) and you have to hold your hands out in front of you. The best I could ever do was to puch the stroller with one hand.

    I have a double jog stroller and I use it only when I really need to. Walking it is fine, but running is a whole different ball game. I usually only have one hand on the stroller at a time. And I switch back and forth. I hope other moms have better advice! Sorry.

    I always had a problem with it too.

    The other day I was running and I saw a lady running with hers and she'd push it out ahead of her........and the be able to run several strides without pushing to catch up to it, then push it up ahead again. Sounds crazy, but it seemed to be working pretty good for her.

    Sounds dangerous :/ where I live, it's pretty hilly and there's no way it'd work uphill and downhill that's a recipe for disaster :(

    Hoping someone will have a miracle answer for me!!!! Switching back and forth - might try that tomorrow morning and see how that works.
