Hello all, seeking some running/parent advice
New to the sub and to marathons. I have a 3 year old and another baby on the way due in late November. I plan to run my marathon in early October (If the child allows lol) but my main question is this:
I have a 4 days on 4 days off schedule allowing me to be Mr. Mom for 4 days which i absolutely love, but as i start to really ramp up my run distance here how do you keep a toddler entertained for an hour or 2 hours+ of riding in a stroller!?!? Recently snacks have done the trick, but the longest run we've been on together was like a half hour max (and of course we are at the tale end of potty training so it came with many breaks lol). I've thought of trying to get on the local schools football field and let him run loose while i run on the track, but running in circles for miles and miles sounds terrible. I guess it is what it is as long as he is happy but are there any other tips and tricks you guys use??? Thank you in advance
