Growing up, Coughlin ran high school cross country and track, but quit because of incessant injuries and being the slowest girl on the team. For years she tried to be a consistent runner but remained plagued by injury. “It’s really hard to keep training when you keep getting injured and you don’t have anyone to run with,” Coughlin said. “I tried to restart 12-15 times, but it wasn’t consistent. It was really discouraging.
While Coughlin never lost her love of running, she needed something to stoke the fire. She found her inspiration in the Sub-30 club. The group was started by Runner's World contributor , who wanted to train with people to break 30 minutes in the 5K. It has since expanded to become a thriving online running community.“I had just finished the Wineglass 5K in 2015 and heard about the club so I checked it out. Once I joined, I was immediately blown away by how encouraging they were,” Coughlin said. “The group is so supportive it makes you not be able to leave.”
dengaterade I think we’re just 14 people shy of 300 new Sub30Club members since the original IG post. *speechless* And we’ve already been talking up RWF2020 so people know about it.
