Another Mother Runner

#452: Insight from Plus-Size Runner + Running Memoirist Beth Probst

Sarah and Coach Liz have a wonderfully candid conversation with Beth Probst, who just self-published her running-related memoir entitled It Could Be Worse: A Girlfriend’s Guide for Runners Who Detest Running. (Use code AMR2021 here to save 20%.) Beth shares:
-why she went from couch to half-marathon in just 15 weeks;
-the hurdles and stigmas she faces as a heavier runner;
-why she hates (truly!) running, yet what she keeps her going;
-her enlightened attitude toward goals (both her own + other runners’); and,
-her perspective on the possibility of finishing last in a race.

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!
