Dimity McDowell

Before turning her focus fully to running, Dimity McDowell built her career as a sports journalist, holding staff positions at Self, ESPN: The Magazine, and Sports Illustrated for Women. She is the co-author of Run Like a Mother, Train Like a Mother, and Tales from Another Mother Runner, and the co-founder of Another Mother Runner, an inclusive community for women runners worldwide.

A certified personal trainer, menopause coach, and running coach, Dimity has completed everything from the Ironman Coeur d'Alene to the Pikes Peak Ascent, but she’s most passionate about helping women stay strong and move forward on the roads, on the trails, and in their own lives.

She lives in Denver with her husband and two dogs and is the mother of two adult children, neither of whom are runners.
