Canadian 800m record-holder Melissa Bishop is back in training after becoming a mother last July and aiming to compete at next year’s World Championships.
“It’s been a safe, slow, steady build up. The risk of injury is really high right now so in the beginning, a lot of my running was to just put the load back on my body and joints.
“Now I feel I’m to a point where I’m getting some quality mileage in and starting to build my base up again,” Bishop told athleticsillustrated.com, adding that she had used cross-training to build back up.
