COACH MAKARA

Makara grew up in Bloomington, MN, and has been running for almost 20 years. She is a Level 1 Certified Running Coach by the Road Runners Club of America and has been coaching for Girls on the Run Minnesota for nearly five years. Her favorite running distance is the half marathon and she’s completed two full marathons.

She is passionate about helping others achieve their goals and breaking down barriers to health and fitness, and is excited to become a part of team Moms on the Run! Outside of running she enjoys walking her dogs, trying new recipes, and reading.

COACH DEBI

Debi leads our Saturday endurance runs. She joined Moms on the Run in spring of 2016 and hasn’t looked back. She started running in her early 20s, but fell out of practice during graduate school. She tried many times to get back into a running a routine, but just couldn’t find the motivation to stick with it until joining the program. Moms on the Run provided the friendships and encouragement she needed to keep after it and she has run many 10Ks, 10-milers, and half marathons since.

 

Debi keeps busy as a middle school teacher by day, and in her free time loves reading, traveling, walking her dog, Berta, and hiking in the many beautiful state parks.

COACH STACY

Hi, my name is Stacy Severson and this is my 9th year coaching with Moms on the Run!  My love of running really developed when I was in college. I was the kid in grade school… and then high school, who dreaded running a mile. I never felt like I “looked” like a runner since I’m 5 ‘3” (with shoes on), and have never been super thin. As I met more runners, I quickly learned that the running community is made up of all ages, shapes and sizes.  If you are working to get out there to run, no matter the pace, you’re a runner! I am not a speedy runner, but have lots of energy and endurance and love running 10 mile and half marathon distances.

I enjoy staying active with my family playing some pretty epic hide and go seek tag, or in the warmer weather months a neighborhood game of kick ball or “ghost in the graveyard.” I know how challenging it can be to fit fitness into your life when you work and have a family, so I get creative.  Sometimes this means running while my kids bike or doing obstacle courses at the park so we can get some strength training in. I also work full-time as Director of Enrollment Development at Augsburg University. ​

I coach with Moms on the Run for the amazing friendships, inclusive community of women, and incredible support! I love the diversity of women in our group and the variety of experiences they share. Seeing our members reach their goals is completely inspiring to me! I love being a part of helping others find joy in the journey and learn to love to run!

COACH STEPHANIE

Stephanie will be coaching the majority of our Virtual Class Release and Restore: Yoga for Runners. Stephanie is passionate about yoga and the health benefits it provides both physically and mentally.

Yoga has been a part of Stephanie’s life since 2005. She received her Registered Yoga Teacher 200-hour certification in November 2014 and has been teaching ever since. She teaches Vinyasa, Hatha, gentle, myofascial release and kids yoga.

Stephanie creates a safe space, a welcoming environment and teaches from a place of compassion that allows students to explore powerful healing and growth.
