It's time to train like an athlete* and unleash your true running potential.
*Yes! Real, every day moms can train like athletes too. It is fun and empowering AF!
The RUN Mom Strong Mentorship is for you if:
You are a mother runner who...
✔ Has this itching feeling that you haven't quite yet reached your full running potential.
✔ Refuses to accept that now that you had birthed a child, you are limited in what you can do physically (that's pretty ironic actually because growing a human inside of you is badass AF).
✔ Wants to maximize your efforts so that every workouts gets you one step closer to your goals (no precious time or energy wasted)!

Work smarter not harder
It's cliche but also true.
Like you, running is part of my identity.
I started running relatively early in life with my mom and her “running friends.”
Little did I know at that time how important having my own group of running friends would become to me someday. Even if at this point many of them are virtual.
In high school, I ran track and cross country. My uber competitive streak must not have been fully developed yet because I found every reason to cheat my workouts and do less (which probably didn’t make me the best captain of the cross-country team, oops).
...or it might have been that I didn’t understand the why behind all of the workouts. It’s tough for me to get motivated to do something unless I really understand “why” I’m doing.
In grad school, a switch flipped. A group of friends and I decided to run our first half marathon together. "Sure, I’ll try a half, but I'll draw the line at a full.” Famous last words, right?
I ran the half, and then another, then another and before I knew it, I caught the bug. I needed to try a full. At that point it was only still a mild obsession.
After my first full and a few beers, pleasantly surprised by my performance, I asked my significant other at the time if he thought I could qualify for Boston. I “only” had to shave 20 minutes off my time…
...well, I think THAT’s where my real obsession began because … HE LAUGHED AT ME!
It. was. on. after that! I read every book on running science I could find; I hired a coach and less than a year later I got my first BQ!

Fast forward through many, many more years of running, two career changes (engineer to teacher to now), and two children. Now as a certified personal trainer, pregnancy and postpartum corrective exercise specialist, eternal student of all things running science, and a women's running coach, I help moms train with purpose through pregnancy, postpartum and beyond!

While I haven’t run another marathon since becoming a mom, I have PRed in every other distance since. I look at the race photos from that hard earned Boston Marathon and KNOW I could smoke her.
I think it’s partly the experience and education I’ve built up and partly because I’m a mom.
Because of, not in spite of.
In motherhood, now more than ever, I have to train with purpose!
In my RUN Mom Strong Mentorship, I’m going coach you through applying my two main training principles step by step, week after week so that by the end of the 12 weeks you are empowered to continue to train with purpose for your body and goals.
Essentially those two main training principles boil down to efficiency...

mY 2 MAIN TRAINING PRINCIPLES
|
Efficiency in Your Training Programming
Programming purposeful miles into your week (it’s not just about logging the miles for the sake of logging miles) and making room for intentional strength training to improve your running economy. If you attended the Masterclass you know that means:
|
Efficiency in Your Run Itself
Using intentional strength training to fine tune your body to capitalize on momentum as you run and use as little energy as possible with each step so that you can run longer and faster with the same amount of effort. If you attended the Masterclass you know that means train to: Load

Here's what you get
A custom 12-week running training program specific to your goals and schedule ($254 value*)
In week 1 we will set goals together, from there you will answer a comprehensive questionnaire about your training base, goals, schedule, etc. and I will put together a custom running program for you.
In addition to your custom plan, I will walk you through the logic behind my running training programs and provide you with the formula I use to put them together (and all the templates you could ever need) so that you are empowered to train for your goals for years to come.
Crush this 12-week goal and feel empowered to crush the next (and the next, and the next...)!
12 weeks of purposeful strength workouts progressed intentionally through a full training cycle ($525 value*)
The workouts will be progressed intentionally through a full training cycle beginning with strength in foundational movements, building on that strength with power, and tapering ahead of a race. Yep! You need to taper your strength workouts too!
Through a series of assessments that we’ll go through in the first week and the education provided on our coaching calls, you’ll be able to tailor these workouts exactly to the needs of your unique body!
Just like the running plan, I’ll give you the program to follow first and provide you with the strategy behind it along the way so that you are empowered to continue to train with purpose for your body for years to come.
12 weekly, live, group calls that include education and actionable steps to effectively incorporating the topic of the week into your training ($1,575 value*)
I’m basically turning my whole training system into a plug-and-play formula for you to use. Each week we’ll focus on a different component of the formula so that by the end you are empowered to apply it for yourself, your goals and the unique needs of your body so that you can train with purpose for any running goal.
Bonus live presentations from 4 amazing guest speakers to support you as a whole mother runner
We will have a registered dietician, a pelvic floor physical therapist, a mental health specialist (all mother runners of course), and an incredibly inspirational mother runner (you are going to freak like I did when you see who below).
A private Facebook group for questions, accountability, sharing additional resources as needed, and that sense of community we are all missing!
A membership portal with everything from the mentorship that you will have access to forever.

12 Weeks of Education and EmpowermenT
12 online live group calls and all the accompanying resources include education to understand your unique body and train with purpose for your goals!
We’ll set a big goal for your 12 weeks and work through my purposeful assessment process to uncover the unique needs of your body.
|
I’ll provide you with your custom running plan and walk you through my strategic formula you can use to apply to any goal. Plus, all. the. templates. you could ever want!
|
This is the core of it all, literally. Learn to intentionally transfer energy through your core and master your breathing to increase your performance.
|
With each stride your body goes through a cycle of absorbing and repelling. The feet and the pelvic floor play an integral role in doing this efficiently (without losing energy).
|
This week will include lots of time to play and feel. You’ll feel these two important muscle groups like never before!
|
Do your right and left feel or move differently? This week we’ll talk about why and some strategies to balance back out. Plus halfway Q&A!
|
We’ll look at gait and what additional clues it can provide for the development of your strength training program and how what we've been doing ties back to your gait.
|
More time to play and move. We’ll talk about proper form and what types of squats are best for you and your goals.
|
More time to play and move. We’ll talk about proper form and what kinds of hinges/deadlifts are best for you and your goals.
|
Using purposeful upper body work to round out your training program. Rotation through the torso is important for energy transfer in gait.
|
Learn my secret weapon for minimizing the stress on your body while maximizing performance. You’ll be practicing these exercises starting week 1, but this week you’ll know why.
|
We’ll take everything you learned in the first 11 weeks and put it together in my complete training formula

FAQs
Do I need to be fast?
This program is for any mom with goals! That goal could be anything from finish your first 5k or finally break 30 minutes in a 5k, to break 2 hours in a half marathon or all they way up to get that coveted BQ. The paces in your training program will be adapted specifically to your speed and goals.
Is this for postpartum rehab?
Not specifically. We do talk about core and pelvic floor quite a bit in the is course (because it's important for ALL runners honestly) and the strength training can definitely help address any lingering muscle imbalances from pregnancy (even if it was years or decades ago), but this course is not postpartum specific per se. It's the beyond in my slogan "Train with purpose through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond." To be honest ALL runners, not just mothers can benefit from this course.
If you are newly postpartum and not yet back to running or have just recently returned my Postpartum Foundations Course might be better for you.
Can I go through it with an injury?
Maybe. It depends on what it is and the severity. Book a Free 15-Minutes Strategy Call or send me an email to talk it through and decide. For many recurring running injuries the strength training and education about the needs of your unique body my be exactly what the doctor ordered!
How many training days?
You will choose your number of running days (I recommend 3 or 4). I will provide you with the programming, an intentional warm up, and some post run activities for tendon health.
There will be 2 “required” strength workouts with your main lifts and movement patterns and an additional "bonus day" that will alternate between slow tempo circuits and plyometrics each week.
Less is more with mom life!
What equipment? Home or gym?
All of the strength workouts will be designed for at home with some occasional suggestions for how you might adapt at the gym. You do not need a gym membership. The following is a list of “equipment” we will be using. None of it is required. We can be creative if we need to be. If you do want to purchase some of this stuff, here are my suggestions on Amazon.
Rolled up towel
Yoga block (or playground ball or another rolled up towel)
A chair or something to sit on with feet on the floor
Resistance Band with something to anchor it to
Dumbbells (or something to use as weights)
Foam Roller
(maybe) Stability Ball
(maybe) Mini band
When will the live calls be? What if I can’t attend at that time?
The regular live calls will be Tuesdays at 12pm EST. I do my best to accommodate as many time zones as possible within my schedule availability as I have clients across the US, Canada and some of Europe. Each call will be recorded and uploaded to the membership portal with all the other resources for the week. If you cannot attend live, you will have the opportunity to submit questions ahead of time or ask them in the Facebook group.
The guest speaker calls will be determined based on the schedule of the speaker and will vary.
If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to reach out. Send me an email or set up a Free Strategy Call. I'll help you figure out if this is the right program for you - absolutely no pressure. I know this program is a commitment. I only want you to make that commitment if you are sure it's right for you.
