School’s Out, Now What? Summer Guide

Moms on the Run:

Inspiring and Transforming Women through a Healthy Lifestyle of Fitness, Fun & Friendship You may have seen the logo around town on a minivan window or across the chest of a hot pink tank top of an Eau Claire Marathon participant: Moms on the Run aka: MOTR. It easily could be the name of a sitcom or explanation for the harried driver you see in the lane beside you. And that double meaning explains a lot about the organization of women encouraging their fellow runners to keep a healthy outlook through all the facets of life they are juggling.

Eau Claire Moms on the Run has officially been up and literally running for over a decade supporting hundreds of women along their running journey. MOTR offers year-round programming with three official seasons: a Signature Training Program in Spring/Summer, an 8 week Strength & Cardio Bootcamp in the Fall, and Winter Polar Running. Their signature 18 week spring/ summer session starts again this coming April and culminates at the end of August with the group’s own 5k run and celebration.

The eighteen-week Spring/Summer session offers the most structure and support. MOTR classes include coaching, optional nutritional challenges, and runningspecific strength training. They offer interval classes, endurance classes, and trail running groups. Interval classes include taking beginning runners (the Learn to Run group) from mostly walking to running a 5k at the end of the summer and offers intermediate runners a chance to work on speed, cardiovascular strength, breathing, form, and more. Danielle LeBarron, Eau Claire Moms on the Run Franchise Owner, notes, “Each of our groups have experienced coaches that help motivate and push each individual to the extent that they want/need. At MOTR, we believe that if you want to be a runner, you can be. We strive to help every woman to feel empowered to take steps towards a healthy lifestyle, and we know that exercise, accountability, and encouragement play a huge role in achieving this goal.”

MOTR tries to help connect women in a way that helps them have fitness, fun, and friendship all in one. It also forces them, so to speak, to put class on their calendar and not just “hope to fit it in.” www.schoolsoutnowwhat.com

Coaches follow up with women to make sure that their needs are being met and they are feeling connected to the group.

LeBarron elaborates, “One thing that we stress at MOTR is that everyone is welcome and we are an encouraging, positive, nojudgment kind of group. We know that women have enough stress and battles in their lives, so we want MOTR to be a safe place where they can come just to be on the journey together.”

Women need to prioritize themselves and a healthy lifestyle. It can fortify you as a caregiver, being able to care for yourself first so you can then care for others.

Tapping into your known strengths, or those you didn’t even know you had, can leave you feeling rejuvenated and joyful about the other responsibilities that make up your family’s fabric. After being involved in MOTR for several summers one participant wrote: “I am continually in awe of the impact of MOTR because it is powerful, it is positive, and it really is changing women’s lives in more than just physical ways. When I think of the ripple effect through a family when a mom is healthy, confident, supported, and fierce in the belief in herself, it’s hard to comprehend the power of her positive influence on those around her. When I show up to class or to a race and stand in this sea of strong women, I can’t help but feel proud to be a part of it.”

LeBarron sums up the MOTR mission: “Our goal is to help our women feel healthy, confident, and encouraged so that they can in turn encourage others along what often feels like an uphill battle. Running not only connects us to ourselves, but our neighbors, our community, and the outdoors at large. Taking time for self-care is never selfish.”
