Another Mother Runner

#207: Go, Go, ElliptiGO: Runners Who Use an ElliptiGO

Sarah and co-host Ellison Weist talk to two mother runners who mix things up by training on an ElliptiGO, the bike/elliptical hybrid popularized by Olympic marathon Meb Keflezighi. First up is Sarah Brown, a top American middle-distance runner who is gunning for this summer’s Olypmic Trials in 1500 meters—and who just gave birth to her first baby in early March. This Sarah talks about how she continued a high level of training thanks to the an ElliptiGO, allowing her to “add volume without impact.” Proof pro athletes are just like us, Sarah B. overshares about burp clothes in her life with an infant. Then Sarah and Ellison chat with Diane Peterson, a 62-year-young mother runner who uses an ElliptiGO to train for half-marathons. Proof they work? Diane knocks out half-marathons times below 1:45!
