Another Mother Runner

Striving in Running—and Academia

Chasers of big goals, take a listen: Sarah and Tish chat with Vanessa Corcoran, Ph.D., author of the new memoir It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint, which details her juggling-act of marathon training while pursuing her doctorate degree. Vanessa talks about:
-being open about taking bigger risks for potential bigger rewards;
-going gluten-free after a Celiac diagnosis while marathon training;
-the ways running eases her clinical anxiety; and,
-the importance of a strong support network—for running, work, + parenting.
Before the guest joins at 17:56, Sarah and Tish commiserate about injuries—and Sarah details her teen son’s recent major dance performances.

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!
