Another Mother Runner

#458: The (Slow) Return of Running Races

Sarah and Dimity speak with Dawna Stone, the new president of RunningUSA and the founder of Women’s Running magazine. The trio talk about:
-the powerful force of women running together;
-whether virtual races are here to stay; 
-what in-person races might look like once they resume; 
-the complex logistics of holding a large race; and,
-the question on every runner’s mind—fall racing season: yay or nay?
Before the guest joins at 13:11, Dimity shares a big (big!) 2021 athletic goal for herself. You heard it here first!

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!
