Maybe your first goal is to walk the 5k.

Maybe you used to run and motherhood knocked you out of the habit.
Maybe you're ready to tackle your first half marathon.
Or maybe you just need someone waiting for you on Thursday night so you actually get the run done.
Run Club+ meets you where you are and gives you a plan, a coach, and a community to help you get where you want to go.

Meet Your Coach
Danielle Prater, FIT4MOM RunClub+ Coach, Strides 360 Instructor, Certified in Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness
I always tell people I was one of those people who were ‘born to run’ because I’ve loved it since I was little! I literally grew up running from elementary school. In middle school and high school I ran cross country and track. In college I ran the 5k for a D2 college for track & cross country. Even post college while in the Army I was on our installation Army 10 miler team. I’ve ran everything from a mile to a marathon.
Now as a first time mom I’m falling in love with running again; this time with the added challenge of postpartum & baby! Running is such a mental sport which coincidentally makes it the perfect sport for moms. We know growing, birthing, and raising a baby is a test of mental resilience. I am so excited to coach moms for RunClub+. Not only to help moms reach their goal race- but to encourage, challenge, and empower moms every step, stride, & mile!
