Another Mother Runner

Racing Advice from a Mental Performance Coach

A must-listen for anyone stepping up to a starting line soon! Sarah and Katie (who is running the Chicago Half-Marathon in a week) get great insight and advice from Meg Waldron, M.S., a mental performance coach and former competitive runner. Meg tells:
-new ways to “chunk up” a race;
-how self-talk can calm pre-race jitters + keep you strong in the final miles;
-how + why to use visualization;
-tricks to stay engaged + motivated even with few spectators; and,
-strategies to plan your post-competition time. 
In the intro chitchat, Sarah talks up her teen daughter’s experience on a coed soccer team. The guest joins at 9:56.

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!
