Over the last couple of months I have been doing daily (somewhat) power walks with my 2 yo daughter in the jogging stroller so I thought I was fairly fit, but this week has kicked me...HARD! My outdoor course is somewhat hilly and I'm pushing 60 lbs of toddler+stroller, so that may put me at a bit of a disadvantage. Any advice for doing this with a stroller? Thanks! Graduated! Now on to even more!    Report

I tried it for awhile with the stroller (before c25k), but I live in a hilly area and push a double stroller with 2 kiddos that are 40 lbs each.  It was challenging to say the least.  Don't think I could do a 25 minute run pushing that load up a hill.  Any way you can run without the kiddos?

I managed to bribe my daughter to sit and watch a DVD and I was able to do a session on the treadmill. What a difference! It was actually fun and so much easier. I will probably wait until my fitness level is a bit higher before I start doing the intervals with the stroller - I'll just use the rest days to walk with her in the stroller. Graduated!

I did it with a jogging stroller, but my daughter is a featherweight, and the terrain was quite flat where I ran.  Can't imagine doing it with hills and a heavier child.  Good luck!
