#416: Motivation: Three Women Runners Share What’s Getting Them Going

Sarah and Katie talk with three women runners about what’s keeping their fitness-fire lit during stay-at-home orders. A few audio highlights:

how Texan Samantha’s run streak is keeping her on track, plus how it’s expanded during the pandemic;

how Washingtonian Jess views the pandemic as an opportunity to learn new training techniques;

how Melissa in New Hampshire and Jess are both remotely relying on friends to stay active; and,

how One Mile a Day in May has become Melissa’s get-moving mantra.

Katie shares an oh-no-she-didn’t anecdote in the intro! The first “motivational speaker” joins at 7:20.

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.

All three shows are witty and conversational, making them great running partners because the AMR gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
