Another Mother Runner Connect: Forums

A huge, sweaty welcome to the another mother runner forums, an exclusive but inclusive—that makes sense, right?—place to connect, chat, ask, analyze, and dream big with other runners. The beauty of the forum is that, unlike our Facebook page, the status updates don’t float by in less than a day. Here they are, accessible whenever you need the 411.

Anything is game here: questions about training, nutrition, sports bras, leaking on the run, whatever. Two categories we think are pretty cool: a match.com for mother runners, where you can find a BRF (best running friend) and free gear swap, a place to find a home for your newish gear you never use. (The recipient pays only for shipping; thank you in advance for respecting this rule.)

So whatever you got—IT band probs; stroller questions; a picture-perfect race; shoe issues—lay it on the collective us. If you’d like to nominate a category we forgot, email us at runmother [at] gmail [dot] com. We’re all here to push each other across the finish line again and again.
