Pro runner Jordan Hogan on staying active in her third trimester<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jordan Hogan<\/a> might be known for her blistering pace and marathon grit, but these days, the professional runner is taking things a little slower \u2014 and soaking in the experience of her first pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in her third trimester and due in early August, Jordan is using an H2X Challenger 15 D swim spa<\/a> to stay active, recover, and find comfort in the final weeks before baby. The swim spa, installed in her Pennsylvania backyard, offers a space where she can continue to move and feel like herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We caught up with Jordan to talk about her pregnancy, how she\u2019s using her swim spa, and what she\u2019s looking forward to \u2014 postpartum and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"pregnancy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A Q&A with Jordan Hogan: Training, pregnancy, and staying active in the water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Athletics might be in Jordan Hogan\u2019s DNA. When her parents, Joe and Teresa, first met at a Gold\u2019s Gym in Los Angeles in 1987, Joe was a bodybuilder and Teresa was a competitive swimmer. Her mom taught her how to swim and, later, Jordan would join her on her daily runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn\u2019t take long for Jordan to start setting her own pace. She joined the junior high track team as a fourth grader and quickly gained attention for beating the boys. As she moved through high school and then on to the University of Oregon, Jordan built a reputation as one of the top distance runners in the country. She holds the record for the fastest marathon debut by an American woman and has stood on the podium at major marathons, including Boston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, as she enters the final weeks of her first pregnancy, movement still plays a central role in her life \u2014 just in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When Jordan partnered with Master Spas in 2020, she had a swim spa installed in her California home. It quickly became one of her favorite training tools. The pool spa aided in her recovery after long runs, supplemented her mileage, and simulated marathon workouts without the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But after moving across the country, Jordan had to leave her original swim spa behind. And for a while, she wasn\u2019t sure she\u2019d be able to bring that tool back into her routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI kind of thought that era was over,\u201d she says. \u201cWe weren\u2019t able to ship it across the country, and for a bit we were in a townhouse without the space. But when we moved into our new house, and I got pregnant, I started thinking about reaching out again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At around 20 weeks, she reconnected with the Master Spas team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just realized my running was going to be limited, and I knew how helpful the swim spa had been before,\u201d she says. \u201cPlus, when I started sharing more about training during pregnancy, I saw how much people \u2014 especially women \u2014 connected with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Staying active in the third trimester<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jordan is now in her third trimester and still running about 30 miles a week. But she\u2019s shifted a large part of her training into the water. Water exercise is something she\u2019s found to be especially important as her body changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been getting really bad rib pain, and just using the jets has been super beneficial,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ll get in there three times a day just to use the swim jets. They give a stronger massage, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m used to from deep tissue work as a pro athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also uses the swim spa for cardio, including swimming and aqua jogging. \u201cWe filled the spa a little higher so I can use my belt and run against the current,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s a way to stay moving without the impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That ability to stay active has made a difference in her overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m running right now, I feel like a whale,\u201d Jordan says, laughing. \u201cBut when I get in the swim spa, I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m pregnant at all. It\u2019s just so nice to have that sort of therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H2X Fitness Swim Spas, which are designed for year-round exercise and relaxation, offer the best of a pool with the therapy of a hot tub. The Challenger 15 D, the model Jordan has at home, features six airless swim jets that create a steady current for swimming in place, aqua jogging<\/a>, or other water exercise. There are also contoured hot tub seats with adjustable massage jets for targeted hydrotherapy<\/a> and stress relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real talk: Training during pregnancy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For Jordan, navigating training during pregnancy has been a learning experience \u2014 and one she\u2019s still figuring out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to find information,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve actually reached out to more triathletes than runners, because they\u2019ve been more open about their experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the guidance she found was general: Keep doing what you were doing before. But as a professional runner who\u2019s logged 130-mile training weeks, that didn\u2019t quite translate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously I\u2019m not doing that now,\u201d she says. \u201cBut there weren\u2019t a lot of specific resources. And when there\u2019s no information, it\u2019s easy to wonder, \u2018Should I just stop?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, she\u2019s focused on finding balance. \u201cYou might need to reduce intensity or volume, or watch your heart rate. But you don\u2019t have to stop. The swim spa really gave me a way to keep moving in a safe, low-impact way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Movement has been a big part of Jordan\u2019s pregnancy \u2014 not just for training, but for overall wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve read a lot now about how movement is good for the placenta and blood flow,\u201d Jordan says. \u201cMy OB told me if I go to term, I\u2019ll probably have a nine-pound baby. It\u2019s been a healthy pregnancy, and I\u2019ve been able to stay active.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Postpartum recovery and long-term goals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jordan is planning to ease back into training after baby arrives, and she anticipates that the swim spa will play a big role in her postpartum fitness journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to rush back,\u201d she says. \u201cOnce I get cleared by my doctor, I\u2019ll be able to get in the water before I even start running. It\u2019ll help build cardio and get my body moving again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hopes to start racing again in the spring, maybe a half or full marathon, and is looking ahead to the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles. \u201cI\u2019d love to be there in the marathon,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longer term, she\u2019s also thinking about a transition to triathlon. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten into cycling recently, and of course I\u2019ve always loved swimming. So it\u2019s something I\u2019m open to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Challenger 15 D supports all of those goals. More than that, though, it\u2019s also about fitting fitness into her life as a new mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur closest pool is 20 minutes away,\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s as long as a swim could take me. So just having it right in our backyard is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple setup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The delivery and installation process, Jordan says, was smooth. \u201cEvery time I\u2019ve had a swim spa delivered, it\u2019s been easy,\u201d she says. \u201cThe local dealer was great. We didn\u2019t need a crane this time, so that made it even simpler.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd using it is so easy. The new touchscreen is amazing, and right now it\u2019s so hot here that we\u2019re not even using the heater. It\u2019s super efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jordan says she\u2019s excited to use the swim spa for her family, too. \u201cMy husband is learning to swim, and we\u2019re looking into infant swim lessons,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s already a part of our daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
