Another Mother Runner

#391: Is 2020 Your Year to Run a Marathon?

Sarah and two Train Like a Mother Club coaches, Amanda Loudin and Liz Waterstraat, circle up to debate the should-you-or-shouldn’t-you aspects of taking on 26.2 in 2020. The trio covers:
-the slightly scary, and completely thrilling, reality of undertaking a marathon;
-the make-or-break importance of training consistency;
-pointers on deciding if you have room in your life for all the miles;
-advice on choosing a training plan; and,
-the importance of not overfilling your stress bucket.
And Sarah makes a big (for her!) 2020 announcement. (Hint: It’ll happen in Missoula, MT.)

A family of three podcasts to get (+ keep) you moving without losing your family, job, or sanity! Nearly 1,000 (!) back episodes to enjoy.

Every Friday on the original show (launched in 2011), host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of 14 marathons, is joined by a rotating cast of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to finding your athletic happy place, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: This show covers it all (and then some!). 

Many Happy Miles and AMR Answers drop on alternate Tuesdays: Many Happy Miles is hosted by AMR co-founder Dimity McDowell and Sarah Wassner Flynn, and it celebrates and explores all types of forward movement, whether an epic hike, century ride, or your first brisk walk after a setback. The co-founding duo of Sarah and Dimity host AMR Answers, providing insightful responses to listeners’ called-in questions. All three shows are witty and conversational, making them great running partners because the AMR gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
