A pregnant woman defied critics to run a five-minute mile - a 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, US, 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.
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.
Makenna, who is due to give birth any time now, completed the pregnant mile - twice - to show what bodies can be capable of.
