Chompian of the Month: Molly Hernandez

We're switching things up a bit this month to highlight our Chomps Club on Strava! Our group is a collection of ambassadors, employees and Chomps snack lovers that have come together to inspire, motivate, and challenge each other. We'll use the channel to share fitness and nutrition tips, score giveaways, host events and highlight our awesome members - join us!

We're so excited to feature Molly Hernandez, one of our partners on Strava and the face behind @yourrunningbff, as our Chompian of the Month! Molly strives to live her days full of intention and passion and one of her biggest passions is encouraging others to pursue running with joy. Molly recently ran the Boston Marathon (her 12th marathon!) and has lots of great insights and tips on running and recovery so be sure to check out her content in the Chomps Club on Strava!

Can you tell us about yourself - what you do, a bit about your story, etc.?

Hello! I’m Molly, I live in Austin, TX with my husband and I have been running for 10+ years. I am a firm believer that you don’t have to be fast to run far. I love building up others and encouraging them to set big goals! Whether it’s your first 5k, marathon or 50 miler, I help runners feel less alone in their journey by sharing my personal running stories online.

How do you consider yourself a “game changer?”

My goal in sharing content online is to show others that if you set your mind to it, you CAN do it! I share relatable running content with positivity and joy because that’s exactly how running should feel. I love that running is so inclusive and I am always reminded of that on race day; I want to do my part to ensure it feels that way online, too.

What is your morning routine?

I wake up around 5:30 or 6:00 am, read my Bible and journal before getting my run in. I work full-time and always make sure to do my runs in the morning before work! It's the perfect way to start the day!
