Hi, my name is Lauren Blankenship and in 2014 I started a small Business called Run with LB with a simple goal and passion for “Giving Back the Distance.” I was very blessed to run in high school, college, and right out have a 4 year stint coaching collegiately. When I stepped away from coaching college I had two other part time jobs serving and working at a run specialty store. I did go on to coach hs xc, track, and jv soccer which I have competed in myself through hs.It definitely took sacrifice in those years, but I knew I had a passion for the industry and I was inspired by the people I was able to help in my community. Not everyone had the background I did and many individuals in different stages of their lives were finding joy in running, walking, and racing on the roads. While working in run specialty I realized I could really give back by sharing this special gift I had been given and it was so rewarding to see 6 of my athletes qualify for the 2015 Boston Marathon, amidst other personal records.
In 2015, I not only ran my first Boston, but accepted a rep job selling brands you might know Balega and Trigger Point Therapy around the southeast. When the pandemic hit I made my way back to the store side and ended up landing in a marketing director role for Fleet Feet Decatur & Peachtree City. In September of 2022, I decided to take the leap to pursue my personal business which has been a huge blessing and I’m pleased to highlight I am pursuing it full time now. I have an a la carte menu offering private coaching for beginner to elite distance runners who are looking to complete their first 5k up to Ultra distance. I do not believe in giving a program to someone I do not know so the first month is very hands-on. I live in Smyrna, Ga, but I am set up to coach individuals from anywhere. While working at Fleet Feet Peachtree City I loved getting to know the run community and am grateful for the relationship I built with Caroline at Peachtree City Moms!
