Four Runners Share How to Deal with a DNF

Whether you’ve had to drop out of a race or if you might find yourself in those shoes at some point, this is a must-listen-to episode. Hosts Sarah and Ellison talk with four women who Did Not Finish (DNF) a race for various reasons. The guests reveal: 
-the situations that forced them the race course; 
-their respective realizations that a DNF is not a failure; 
-how they got back their running/racing mojo; 
-what the DNF taught them about themselves; and,
-what race they’re tackling next. 
 
Before the first DNF guest runs onto the show around 12:04, Ellison shares her own unforgettable DNF tale.

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.
