Class Options

Interval Training Classes
Our signature training classes use cardio intervals to improve metabolism and cardiovascular fitness. Beginning runners will learn to run, moving from mostly walking to running as they progress through the 18-week program. More experienced runners will use intervals to improve their running speed and fitness levels. A short strength training component, stretching and education concludes the class.
Endurance Run with Option to
Increase Mileage

Our weekly steady paced cardio workouts give our participants an option to build endurance and either add in an additional interval workout or increase mileage as they train for a  10K, half marathon or beyond. Run or Walk! Designed for all fitness levels.

Meet our Coaches

Kate Walton
Owner/HEad Coach

I am a former elementary school teacher, and now certified run coach and group fitness instructor, with three awesome kids at home – Brady (12), Allie (9), and Macie (5).  I graduated from the University of Minnesota (go Gophers!) where I competed on the varsity rowing team.  
 
I started running after college as I wanted to compete in triathlons (having been a swimmer growing up). Running was my weakest leg, and I really didn't enjoy it.  What really helped was finding a great group of people to run with.  I learned that running with others was FUN and really helped the miles go by quick- and the accountability piece was key!  I learned that the "runner's high" is real and it quickly became my go-to form of exercise.   Through my journey as a runner, I have made so many lifelong friends and have had some incredible experiences, including two marathons, two half Ironmans, and 5 Ragnar relays all in different states. I am looking forward to adding a few more races to my list soon!

As a coach at Moms on the Run, I get to share my passion for teaching and my love of running with others. There is nothing better than to see the women in MOTR push themselves and meet goals they once thought were impossible.  The friendships made and fun we've had, are the icing on the cake!  

  
KATIE JACOBS
HEAD COACH
My name is Katie Jacobs and I love fitness! I live in Chanhassen with my 3 daughters and husband.

I began running consistently during college.   I took a marathon training course and completed my first marathon my junior year.  I have since run a couple more marathons, several half marathons and tons of 5k-10 mile races.  I am a certified group fitness instructor and love many forms of exercise however, nothing is as satisfying to me as a hot, sweaty run! I haven't run more than 10 miles recently, but when it comes to training for another long race, well, never say never!  
I am so excited to join MOTR as a coach and be part of this amazing group of women!

Heather O'Neill
Assistant Coach

My name is Heather and I am looking forward to my third season of MOTR and my second year as volunteer coach. I started running in my 30s so that I could complete a triathlon. I ultimately learned to enjoy running enough to have completed a marathon. What I love most about running is that all you need is a pair of running shoes and a step out the door.

I joined MOTR 3 years ago after struggling to take time for myself to workout after becoming a mother. I found MOTR to be a perfect fit for me as I was finally able to commit to a fitness program ... and it led me to a PR in last Fall’s Twin Cities 10-Mile.

​I live in Chanhassen with my husband, 7 year old son, and 5 year old daughter.

JEn Swanson
Assistant Coach

I am a busy mom of 2 girls, Hannah (15) and Loren (13), wife of a traveling husband, work as an Occupational therapist and am a wellness advocate.  

I didn’t start running until I was in my mid-thirties and found 30-40 minutes of time while my kids were at a class or practice and running was the easiest and most convenient way to exercise. I soon fell in love and very slowly worked on increasing distance, strength and endurance.

​Mom’s on the Run has been the most enjoyable group exercise I have participated in.  It is a perfect balance of fun and sweat.  I love getting to know like minded women who care about their health and each other.

Michelle 
​Louis
ASSISTANT COACH

I grew up locally and lived in other places of the country and world before returning to my roots a couple of years ago. My husband and I bought my childhood home and moved back to Chaska with our two kids: Claire (10) and Collin (7). I have been a college/graduate school professor for about 15 years and recently transitioned into doing leadership coaching and consulting.​

I have loved to run my entire life, and running with a team is especially rewarding for me: I served as the captain of my high school track and cross country running teams and went on to be a college athlete in cross country and track. When I married another college runner, we couldn’t help but host a 5k run for friends and family on the weekend of our wedding… despite how dorky our guests might think that was!  We spent the pre-parenting years of our marriage training together and traveling to destination marathons. Joining MOTR helped me find new friends when I moved back to the area, pushed me back into the running rhythms I had lost in early parenthood, and spurred me on to finish my 13th marathon a few months ago. I also serve as a volunteer coach for Girls on the Run, an organization that creatively teaches life skills to girls aged 3rd-5th grade in the context of running.
