What are the training tweaks a runner needs to run their best? That is the BIG question I asked Running Coach Montana DePasquale and her answer may surprise you. 

Montana is a running coach I have long admired due to her knowledge of the sport and approach to coaching. With a background in competitive running herself, running for Bucknell University, Montana understands the nuances of training, injury prevention, and mental fortitude essential for success in the sport. Her commitment to continual learning keeps her updated with the latest training techniques and innovations in the running world, ensuring that her athletes receive the best guidance possible.

In this episode we get to know Montana more as a runner and mother before we dive into topics such as:

🌀the 3 training tweaks runners can make to level up their training 

🌀mental strategies to feel focused yet relaxed in your training and on race day

🌀the importance of knowing the psychology of a runner

🌀the personal struggle she had that led her to go all-in on strength training--& why she thinks strength training is CRITICAL for every runner

& much more. 

You will leave this conversation feeling empowered to get the most out of your training.

Whitney Heins is a mom of 2, a lifelong runner, a VDOT-certified running coach for moms who run, and founder of the resource, themotherrunners.com. When training for her first marathon as a mom, she found a dearth of information related to running and motherhood. She also felt extremely isolated as a new mom. As a former TV journalist and a freelance writer she decided to use her skills to fill the void with an online resource and community, called The Mother Runners. Whitney also recognized a need for run coaches who understood the demands of motherhood, so she also became a running coach—unearthing a passion for helping moms reap the rewards and empowerment of running. Coming out of a long injury cycle, she ran a 2:54 marathon and 1:20 half marathon in her 40s. She lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, two kids, and three dogs.
