Another Mother Runner

How Runners Can Get Strong

Whether you’re already committed to weight training—or vow to start lifting soon—this is the episode for you. Hosts Sarah and Britany talk with Alyssa Ages, author of the new book, Secrets of Giants: A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength. While demystifying strength training, the guest:
-shares how a miscarriage propelled her shift from running to lifting;
-dispels the myth of bulking up; 
-offers advice for getting started, or resuming, strength training; 
-suggests how to incorporate found objects (read: rocks + more!) into your workouts; and,
-tells how to integrate lifting w/ training for a 13.1 or 26.2. 
 
Before the guest joins around 17:03, Sarah and new mom Britany have a far-reaching conversation about eye color.

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!
