Another Mother Runner

#431: Racing in Real Life During the Pandemic (Really!)

Sarah and Katie are regaled by tales from three women runners who participated in races—a 70.3 triathlon, a marathon, and a 10K—this summer during the pandemic. Learn:

-what it feels like to, once again (finally!), push in pursuit of a finish line;

-that “tee times” aren’t just for golf anymore;

-why you might want to practice your bottle-opening skills on training runs;

-what precautions race organizers are (and aren’t) taking to keep participants safe; and,

-the spirit-lifting, optimism-affirming rush of a race.

The host-duo talks school schedules—and the surprising joy of chauffering kids—in the intro. The first guest (Coach Jen Harrison) hops on 12:31.

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!
