Together they are foster parents to Breauna and Keauna. While training for the Rio Olympics, one of her teammates from Bowerman Track Club Team emailed asking to find a foster home during their senior year of high school. Flanagan and her husband immediately welcomed Breuna and Keauna into their home.

On August 6, 2016 Flanagan and long time college friend Elyse Kopecky published their first cook book Run Fast.Eat Slow. Flanagan and Kopecky met in 2000 as teammates of the cross country team while attending the University of North Carolina. After they graduated from college they both moved to Portland, Oregon where Flanagan went to run for Nike and Kopecky went to work in marketing for Nike. Kopecky left her marketing career to pursue culinary nutrition school in New York City.[9] In 2013, Flanagan and Kopecky reunited in Portland where they came up with Run Fast Eat slow to prove that food could be both nourishing and delicious. [10] Their book went on to become a New York Times Best Seller. They toured together in Oregon, San Francisco and New York City where their events included running, inspirational talks and a chance to meet and get to know the authors better. Due to Flanagan's New York City Marathon Training and the birth of Kopecky's baby they had to limit the number of stops on their book tour. After doing their book tour they had a better understanding of the impact their Run Fast.Eat Slow book had on the running community. The fan feedback was that they wanted Flanagan and Kopecky to write a second cookbook which would be best suited for people with busy lifestyles. Flanagan and Kopecky went on to write their second cook book Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat Slow which focused on less time consuming recipes whilst not compromising nourishment or flavour. Flanagan [11] Their second cook book Run Fast, Cook Fast, Eat slow was published August 18, 2018.
