Pregnant Makenna Myler defied critics to run a five-minute mile a month before her due date. The 30-year-old is a professional middle-distance runner and refused to let pregnancy get in the way of training.
The soon-to-be mum-of-two kept up her training routine throughout the first pregnancy in 2020. She amazed onlookers by running a mile at nine months pregnant in 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. Despite being a professional athlete, Makenna said trolls waded in during both pregnancies to tell her she shouldn't train so hard while expecting - but she brushes them off.
