About Lauren

Lauren started running a little later in life, stumbling into the sport during her third year of university, after having spent two years as a varsity rugby player. She quickly fell in love with the sport, continuing to pursue running during medical school, first with Western’s Cross-Country team and then with a local running club. In spite of the challenge of balancing medical school with training, she was able to run well during her first two years, most notably finishing second at track nationals in the 10 000m.

I’ve run fast enough to BQ 4x now

Since I’ve started working with M2M I’ve been able to train very consistently without having any major gaps. When I started working with Lauren I hoped to someday run a BQ. I’ve run fast enough to BQ four times now.

Interview

  • Favourite race type and why?

    Anything on the trails! I’ve always loved mountains, exploring and getting out into the wilderness, and trail running is a great way to do that. Road distance, I’d have to say the 10 km, it’s not quite as painful as the 5k, but you still get to run fast!
