AMR Answers: How to Resume Running + Fundamentals of Pre-Run Fueling

This episode is for all the wannabe runners—and want-to-be-again runners, like Michelle, who asks how to resume running after five years off. In response to another Sarah’s question, the hosting duo shares creative, crowd-sourced suggestions for marathon-entry fundraising. Then there’s Shannon, who wants to know if coffee creamer constitutes sufficient pre-run fuel—Dimity and Sarah serve her the truth. 
 
Before the Q&amp;As, Dimity details the epic way she celebrated her daughter’s 21st birthday. Speaking of hiking, here’s the survey Dimity mentions.
