Welcome to RunLiftBalance.com, your go-to destination for unlocking the full potential of your fitness journey. I’m Lauren, the face behind this blog and your dedicated guide in the pursuit of a balanced and empowered lifestyle.

With over 25 years of personal running experience, my passion for pounding the pavement began long ago and has only intensified over the years. As a former Division I track and field athlete, I’ve tasted the thrill of competition and understand the transformative power of running. The rhythm of each stride, the synchronicity of breath and movement – these are the elements that form the foundation of my enduring love affair with running.

Beyond my athletic background, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table. Holding certifications as both a Running Coach and a Personal Trainer, I am equipped with the tools to help you not only meet but exceed your fitness goals. Whether you’re lacing up your running shoes for the first time or aiming to conquer new lifting milestones, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

My journey in the world of athletics extends beyond the track. Having served as a college athletics administrator, I’ve witnessed firsthand the profound impact that a commitment to physical well-being can have on one’s life. It’s this firsthand experience and understanding that fuels my dedication to helping individuals transform their lives through the incredible power of exercise.
