Women Runners to Follow on Twitter

If you are like me then you are always looking for a little more inspiration. I took a brief hiatus from twitter but now am getting back into it and am finding great sources of inspiration and women runners that you should check out. Take a peek at my list and please share your favorites in the comments.
Stephanie Bruce @Steph_Rothstein I had the privilege of meeting Hoka One One Elite Runner Stephanie Bruce last year at Rise. Run. Retreat. Not only is she a speedy runner but she is also a big proponent of body positivity and positive body image. She is an elite runner and also a mom.
Des Linden @des_linden Des Linden is the winner of the 2018 Boston Marathon. She finished fifth at this years Boston Marathon. She may be small in stature but is a fierce competitor. Des runs for Brooks and will inspire you with her candor about her training and racing.
Gabriele Grunewald @gg_runs Pro Runner Gabriele Grunewald is a pro middle distance runner but also a cancer survivor and warrior. She founded Brave Like Gabe to raise awareness and raise money for rare cancer research. Through her foundation she encourages others to move their bodies especially cancer survivors.

I’m rarely on Twitter and then usually only to check on traffic updates. I probably need to unfollow 90% and then I’d see the people I really care about.

I follow mostly fellow bloggers on twitter! I do follow a few of the elites, but I need to expand that. Thanks for these suggestions!

I follow Amanda, but I really don’t spend time on Twitter like I used to. So little time, so many social media choices! I follow a few of them on Instagram though.

I haven’t been on Twitter as much as I used to be but I do engage from time to time – I’ll check out some of these awesome ladies 🙂
Only was pretty familiar with one of these runners! These is a great list of inspirational women. Thanks for sharing!!

I’m never on twitter, but I love following Run, Eat, Repeat and Hungry runner girl on Instagram
my favorite runners on twitter are actually people I’ve met along my journey and not really “known” runners. I do follow Des and I also follow/ know Amanda from Fitbloggin – we actually ran together in Portland at the Fitbloggin conference way back when 🙂
I’ve been spending more time on Twitter because I can’t keep up on Instagram. I feel like I’m having a chat with friends on Twitter while on Instagram it’s like everyone is some sort of expert without any credentials. (I’m exaggerating and generalising of course!)

These are all great gals! Sadly, I do not spend much time on Twitter (other than “sharing” my Insta posts). Oddly, my FB page has seen a lot more activity recently than it’s had in awhile (?)…
I mostly follow other bloggers on Twitter but I will check some of these out thanks
Awesome suggestions – I think I already follow at least a couple of them! I am not that active on Twitter. I follow the ‘big name’ runners for both men and women, and mostly runners I have met on other social media platforms.

All good people to follow. Do you know of/follow Lauren Fleshman? She is a former pro runner plus the co-founder of Picky Bars. She’s a good one to follow as well.

Twitter is not my favorite platform, but I do love Des. She is so down to earth.
Jenn recently posted…riots #15: crossing + assembling
Like some of the others I really only make an effort to follow friends and brands that are friends of the blog on Twitter.
Marcia recently posted…The Homestretch of MAYhem
Everyone should follow them. It will motivate us a lot. Thanks for sharing an amazing list of women runners. Keep this up.
I love twitter. its makes me find the latest trend on internet easily.

I am on twitter, but I mostly use it to interact with other bloggers. I love running, but it is kind of my own personal thing that I don’t really interact with others about. But I love that there is inspiration being spread around!
Thanks,
Wayne Walls
