Another Mother Runner

AMR Trains #15: Christy Scott, New Ultra Coach in the Train Like a Mother Club

The Train Like a Mother Club welcomes Christy Scott, an ultra runner, personal trainer and running coach who has designed new 50K and 50-mile programs.
The two discuss:
—The allure of the ultra—and how it is doable for nearly every runner;
—How Christy ran 133 miles once—and plans to go longer next year;
—Specifics of the two new programs, including why Sundays are always easy days;
—Why pacing or volunteering at an aid station can help with your own ultra goals.
 
Check out the new programs:
Train Like a Mother 50K Program: 20 weeks
Train Like a Mother 50 Mile Program: 22 weeks

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!
