Does the pram slow you down at all? Assume it must, at least a little?

This is the pram in question - if im not mistaken about 8KG and my little guy is almost 12kg so I am assuming 20kg must slow me down a little :) ESPECIALLY when there is wind. Its not designed for running but the front wheels lock and its a comfortable run anyway

I used to run a lot with my youngest, our pram clocked up many kilometers

My favourite thing was to overtake people (without prams) on the uphill's :)

oh 100% we listen to the Wellerman sea shanties - nothing like a musical pram with a lively shouting 1 year old flying by you :)

Ran into a race a few weeks back as they run through our neighborhood often and we over took soooo many ppl was loads of fun weaving through the race with the little one

I have been using the Thule Glide for runs with the little one but seems to get bored after 30 minutes, how do you keep him/her busy ?

My biggets issue with the Thule is the Seat is slighlty back so might need to look at a small pillow or something/

Our little guy is a year now since last week been doing pram runs since he was 8 months and 4km daily pram walks since 5/6 months.

I find the music helps a lot, read somewhere babies love Wellerman so that plays on the runs I also give him/snacks/water bottle and have a few attached toys to the hand rest usually keeps him happy for 1.5 hours or so.

I think its a baby temperament thing he loves outdoors so I have it easy in that regard.

+1 on the snacks. I used to pack small little tubs of peanuts, pretzels or dried fruit (whatever I could get my hands on), and would hand it to him half-way through the run - almost like a small in-flight snack :ROFL:

love it! just change up the inflight entertainment :P

Have no idea how long this is going to last so I make the most of our runs on the weekend.

Also gives my wife some free time for at least 1-1.5 hours

Yeah same goes well for the first 20-30 minutes then looses focus and says he wants to go home. WIll definately try the music that might help, snacks and water alreayd part of the routine but if I could just bump up my run to 1 hour it would be great.
