Another Mother Runner

AMR Trains: The Hard Decision to Quit Running

If you're dealing with chronic injuries—or just feeling burnt out—this episode about whether or not to quit running will resonate with you. Dimity talks to Elise Wallace, an accomplished runner and triathlete, about being sidelined from running.
The duo talk about:
—how, after two-year break from running, Elise started with a 15-second run and worked up a half marathon;
—filling the void of running when you're injured;
—the mental hurdle of separating past results from current reality; and
—how one pro runner's perspective has helped Elise think about her next chapter.
Plus, Anne Hinrichs and Emily Fischer, the two Nordic skiers from the January 18th episode, update us on their Birkebeiner and Korteloppet finishes.
