AMR Trains #29: Running Races One Year into Pandemic

While it's still unclear when and how a major marathon will happen, smaller running races are blooming all over the country.
Dimity checks in with two race directors in two states: John Mortimer, founder of Millenium Running in Bedford, New Hampshire, and Karen Lechtenberg, a race director of five events and a full-time teacher in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
The three discuss:
—What March 2020 felt like—and how Cinco de Mayo became Cinco de Julio
—Best practices for race day from a race director and runner's perspective;
—The silver linings that COVID-19 brought to road racing (PR's galore!);

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!
