Moms on the Run

Today we're starting a series on training opposing muscle groups. Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, explains what opposing muscle training is and begins Part 1 featuring a couple quick exercises you can do for your chest and back. Check it out. ​

As a retired nurse of 41 years, St. Cloud (MN) Moms on the Run member Melanie Neubauer has spent her life helping others. This year has been no exception. Consumed with caring for her in-laws after medical emergencies in Arizona and now in Montana, Melanie has stayed committed to running — and her St. Cloud Moms on the Run team — despite the distance. 

Moms on the Run National Fitness Director, Olympian Carrie Tollefson, regularly shares tips regarding strengthening our running, fitness and health. Today Carrie shares information about stride length. Do you wonder how your stride looks as you run? Get a professional gait analysis or have a friend video you as a run. Also, go back to last week's training tip and analyze your foot strike. These are all ways to better your run. ​

Moms on the Run is honored to be named one of the 25 largest Twin Cities-based franchise companies in the United States. Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal recently featured Moms on the Run in their franchise listing, as well as in an inspiring story about how we are making it through the pandemic year here.

"They did a great job of spreading our positive message for business during a tough economic year," explained Founder and CEO Karissa Johnson. "I didn't get to choose everything they included in the article of course. They missed my emphasis on how awesome our franchisees are and how everyone's teamwork and positive attitudes are getting us through this challenging time!"

It is true: Moms on the Run would not be possible without our franchisees, our members and our sponsors. Thank you!
