10.3.24 : Run Club and More
We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to our Monument Fitness offerings: RUN CLUB, under the guidance of one of our own Monument athletes, Kelly Whittaker-Cummings! Kelly is leading the charge in our endurance department, bringing over a decade of experience with her. She has run 43 marathons, including three of the Majors (Boston, Chicago, Berlin) multiple times each, and has a personal best marathon time of 2:58:08. If you are keeping score at home, that is an average pace of 6:47 per mile!! Kelly has coached over 250 endurance athletes, as well as helped even more clients improve their endurance and achieve personal goals outside of specific races and events. She is also a USA Track and Field certified run coach!
Kelly coming on as our Endurance Consultant means a couple of exciting things for our community. First, we are launching a Run Club here at Monument Fitness, starting with the inaugural Monument Fitness x NOBULL Run Club 5k on Sunday, October 27th. NOBULL will be sponsoring the event as part of the rollout of their reimagined JOURNEY run shoe. More details will come but it will be a can’t miss event. Run Club will then continue as coached group runs on weekends. You can come to get a few miles in to just improve your fitness and running ability or if you are in the process of training for a specific race and want some coaching on form and pacing from a professional. Kelly will also be available for individualized run programs and coaching to anyone interested.
If you live in Charlestown, you have undoubtedly seen Kelly run by at some point or crossed paths as she and her wife, Emily (head of Monument Fitness' newly revitalized apparel program), walk their dogs around town. Next time you see Kelly, be sure to say hello and feel free to ask her about any running-related fitness goals you may have. And don't forget to come join us on October 27th!
