#465: Boston Marathon Memories

Sarah goes it solo for this tribute to a race that isn’t happening on Monday: the Boston Marathon. She serves up a dozen clips from past guests, recounting their experiences at the venerable marathon, from volunteering at the expo to winning the whole dang thing! Listen to:
-Meb Keflezighi recount “the thrill of a lifetime,” winning in 2014;
-Kathrine Switzer detail her near “take-down” on the course in the then-all-male race;
-the oldest-ever female finisher tell what kept her returning every year;
-a BAMR describe the unsurpassed crowd support that propelled her to a 20-minute PR; and,
-Bethany relay her hilarious (and slightly horrifying!) birth-a-tampon story.

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!
