Moms on the Run

As the official training partner for Women Run the Cities, Moms on the Run has another training tip for our women who are running the virtual race. Long gone are the days when you run until exhaustion and then walk home. Include walk intervals in your training. This is an ideal way to build endurance and reduce your risk of injury. Be strategic about putting in 30-second, 1- or 2-minute walking breaks into your plan. You'll run more miles and feel less soreness, while also experiencing the metabolism-boosting benefits of interval training. Tie up those laces and follow the training plan Moms on the Run has put together for you! 

The virtual Twin Cities Orthopedics’ Women Run the Cities, presented by PNC Bank, is available Thursday, September 10 - Sunday, September 20, 2020.

The weather in Duluth, MN, can be unpredictable. Situated on the edge of Lake Superior (the world's largest freshwater lake), the city can be blasted with lake-effect snowstorms and frigid winter and spring temps. So when Covid hit this spring and states mandated shelter-at-home orders, Duluth Moms on the Run head coach Laura Wieck and her family challenged themselves to get outside every day — no matter the weather. After finishing a family 5K, they've continued that challenge all summer, even taking on MOTR's Four on the 4th of July. Read on to learn more of Laura's story and what makes her #MOTRstrong.
