Lane 9 Podcast Episode 7 with Lift Run Perform’s Owner and Running Coach Mary Johnson
“People are going to get a really realistic dose of me in this episode!” Mary Johnson, running coach and owner of the Run Coaching group and team, Lift Run Perform, joins us for this episode. She’s been part of the Lane 9 project since it began, submitting personal essays and having conversations with us about all things disordered eating, amenorrhea, and working toward big fitness goals while keeping your health and wellbeing intact.
Mary Johnson is the owner of Lift Run Perform, a running and strength-based coaching team for athletes at all levels. She’s an advocate for addressing disordered eating and amenorrhea (for female-bodied athletes), and has been a progressive voice and coach for postpartum athletes. Mary has been an unofficial Lane 9 ambassador from the beginning of our work, and we’re so grateful for her support.
We cover a LOT in this Lane 9 Project podcast episode:
Mary’s go-to strategy for keeping boundaries with social media
Current training and fitness goals (you heard it here first, she’s got her eyes on something new!)
Making big life decisions while keeping our short terms goals in mind, but also in check
Why having her life-altering hip surgery in 2022 is something she’s proud of, and how it has changed her running & perspectives
