Esther Guerrero Maintains Training Regimen at Seven and a Half Months Pregnant
Spanish middle-distance Olympian Esther Guerrero is continuing her physical conditioning regimen while 33 weeks pregnant with her first child, balancing high-level athletic maintenance with the physical demands of late-stage pregnancy during a hot European summer. The 36-year-old Banyoles-born athlete, who has stepped away from competitive racing for the 2026 season, expects to welcome her daughter in mid-September.
Embracing a Special Year Outside Competition
“I am full of happiness,” Guerrero told reporters regarding her current stage of life and the upcoming arrival. While competitive fixtures are on hold, the two-time Olympian has adapted her daily routine to stay active rather than stopping physical activity entirely. She noted that while her pregnancy has progressed smoothly through the first seven and a half months, managing the recent high temperatures has introduced a distinct physical challenge. “Up to now, I’ve carried it very well. But I recognize that with the heat we’ve been having these days, I suffer more,” she admitted, acknowledging the weather’s impact on her training comfort.
Athletic Adaptation and Mid-September Timeline
With her due date fixed for mid-September, the athlete remains focused on health and gradual conditioning. When asked about preparations for the baby’s arrival, she added with a laugh that her daughter “doesn’t have a name yet,” reflecting a relaxed approach to the final weeks before delivery.
