I was wondering if anyone takes there little ones in a pushchair when out running and if so is there a particular one you would recommend?
As both me and DH are running now but going at seperate times due to having four young children I am only managing to run once a week. I also do two sessions a week with a personal trainer but not running. So I am hoping to get a decent pushchair I can run with and take DD with me while my other three children are at school, this way I can fit in three running sessions a week but I am after some recommendations from poeple who use then.

I used a Babyjogger, great but quite expensive.
What's a DH? What's a DD?

Bra sizes?
My sister uses Ironman...she loves it and can handle all terrains...with baby two on the way she is even upgrading to the double. The brand is expensive but think the design is for running.
(remembers the shower head, mattress, aftershave, stationery set)
Its probably not that crazy then.
Thank you for your replies. I will have a look at the ones suggested so far.
Sorry DH is Darling Husband and DD is Darling Daughter.
Maybe a bit late to reply but we bought a Baby Trend Expedition LX Jogger for £120 and it's great - even comes with a raincover!
If you know anyone traveling to the US you can get a baby jogger for half the price out there. Also look on eBay and Gumtree. I bought a baby jogger from the US which was a slight second and got a friend to bring it back for me.
BOB running pushchairs are doing a 30 day money back guarantee on their buggies if you buy during September. See http://www.bobgear.co.uk/
I'm not connected with them, I run at Temple Newsam parkrun and they're having a try-before-you-buy thing this Saturday but it's fully booked.
I would also recommend BOB (Now owned by Britax). They are the company that holds the Ironman licence.
Remember that you will be a loy slower when you first start out with a stroller so don't let that put you off!
I've written some more tips on running with baby here: http://rhedeg.co.uk/training/instant-expert-running-with-baby/
I'd love to know your opinion and tips as well!
I run with a Phil&Teds it is great with 1 child in but very heavy to run with when it's got 2 children in. I actually find that I run faster with the pushchair because once it gets momentum going you have to run with that.
My baby jogger is great any terrain no issues
