Another Mother Runner

Your Race Is over: Now What?

If you're fresh off a race—or have one on the horizon—this episode is for you: Sarah talks with two coaches who detail the best next steps to take post-race. Coaches Amanda Loudin and Mandy Cherry lay out:
-the cycle of building up, breaking down, and all-important recovery; 
-what constitutes “rest” after a big effort (sorry, no couch involved); 
-the benefits of easy runs; 
-surprising-for-Sarah blister treatment; and,
-how much time to take between races. 
Take a swig of Nuun Immunity3 every time a coach utters the word, “microtears.” Post-race talk starts at 15:07.

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!
