Another Mother Runner

#454: Can Running Change Your Size or Shape?

Sarah and Coach Liz are joined by Coach Jen Harrison to discuss how running can (and can't) change the size or shape of various parts of the body. In the wide-ranging conversation, the trio cover:
-how exclusively "just running" wont dramatically change your body;
-how peri/menopause works a number on a runner;
-the power of strength training and Pilates; and,
-the importance of consistently and constantly challenging your body.
In the intro, Sarah shares news about her older daughter, and the host-duo shares laughs about learning to drive a car with a stick shift. Jen joins at 14:35.
