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!

As the official training partner for Women Run the Cities, Moms on the Run talks about virtual training and racing. This season is like no other, right? While in-person races are cancelled, virtual races are hot and we want to encourage you to keep after your goals. Stick to your training plan or the one offered at WRTC and give yourself some grace. Pacing for virtual races can be hard on your own but if you prepare by following your plan it won't be such a shock once you get after it race day! On race day, remember to start at your pace. Try not go out too hard and definitely plan some fun along the way!

We get asked all the time if we have an affiliation with Girls on the Run. While we are not the same organization, we are proud to be friends and support the mission of getting girls excited about health, fitness — and running! To that end, 200 Girls on the Run teams across the Twin Cities, Northfield and Rochester are in need of fantastic adults to make the Spring 2020 season possible. Do you have a sincere interest in leading a healthy life and inspiring the next generation to reach their full potential? Consider volunteering as a coach at​ ​Girls on the Run Twin Cities!​

Enjoy the chance to get outside, laugh, jump, cheer, and most importantly, help girls realize their full potential this fall!
