Another Mother Runner

Try a New Sport!

If you’re thinking of expanding your athletic world beyond running, give this episode a listen. Co-hosts Sarah and Coach Liz share their beyond-running sporty passions (pickleball and gravel cycling, respectively), then they chat with Lauren, who recently dove into swimming. The trio discuss:
-steps for taking up a new sport (including this swimming book);
-the importance of continuing to challenge yourself;
-the power of putting yourself in the beginner’s mindset;
-the anxiety folks feel as a novice; and,
-the joy the gals feel doing their new sport.
Liz shares a laugh-out-loud kid story before the hosting duo share their sporty stories; Lauren joins at 51:04. Find AMR co-branded Oiselle shorts here (they’re selling fast!), and please take our survey. TIA.

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!
