Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Lauren Hendrix brings a unique combination of local roots and diverse experience to Cadence Run Coaching. Lauren is the proud founder and owner of Magic City Momemtum Sports Medicine, which combines traditional physical therapy clinical expertise with athletic performance principles to help athletes and runners reach their full potential. 

Lauren's journey with running began as cross-training for soccer and basketball in high school, but evolved into a passion during her physical therapy studies, where running became her favorite stress reliever. This personal connection to running helps her understand the physical and mental aspects of the sport from an athlete's perspective. Since 2019, Lauren has qualified for the Boston Marathon four times with a personal best of 2:58:53. She continues to stay active in the running community and has recently found a new love for the sport of triathlon as well. When not running, biking, or swimming herself, you will find Lauren spending time with her husband Taylor and two children Luke and Molly, either at the lake or a sporting event...Roll Tide! 

"Teaching has always been a passion of mine, so being able to combine my love for running with the opportunity to coach runners and keep them healthy is truly a dream come true. I look forward to continuing to help other athletes reach their running goals and stay healthy all while juggling the game of life"
