Pregnant woman hits back after running five-minute mile a month before due date

A pregnant woman has divided opinions after running a five-minute mile just one month before her due date. Makenna Myler, 30, is a professional middle-distance runner and refused to let pregnancy get in the way of her training.

The soon-to-be mum-of-two, from Orange County, California, America, kept up her training routine throughout her first pregnancy in 2020. She amazed onlookers by running a mile at nine months pregnant in an impressive five minutes and 25 seconds "just to see if it was possible." Makenna - who is now pregnant again two years on - challenged herself to see if she could do it again last month and beat her own record by eight seconds.
