Raising Runners

Raising Runners

By Tori at Meraki Run Club

As the owner of a youth running program and running coach I am constantly thinking about running, runners and it’s impact on our lives. I discuss fitness, running and sports and the role it plays on families and individuals, mental health on fitness, coaching, and overall running topics. When I started my running program I was combining my passion for running with my passion for helping empower children and I’m here to share all my thoughts.
