Danielle Lohr grew up in southern Minnesota exploring the vast woods and river bottom of her backyard, and eventually realized the joy and strength she experienced when moving fast through the trails alongside her pursuit of success on the track. She continued that journey at the Division I level running for South Dakota State University, while earning degrees in Nutritional Sciences along the way.     

Danielle moved on to spend time living in Austin (TX) and Portland (OR), which allowed her to immerse in the running communities of each city while additionally embracing the different landscapes she was training in. This mindset has given her the rich opportunity to evolve as a runner, on both the trails and road, and build a dynamic set of skills for sport and life. She finds herself thriving when she can tune into the intuitive nudges life sends her way, setting goals that align.

When guiding others, her focus is to bring awareness to purpose and passion. Much like her work as an Integrative Health Coach, Danielle understands the importance of individualization for each athlete. She brings a dynamic approach to blending the fine details with the big picture view. She sees training and pursuing goals on the trails as an opportunity to build resiliency and adaptability in all arenas, and she hopes to join her athletes in their commitment to that process.
