AMR Answers: How to Dive into Swimming; Training for 6+ Hour Marathon

Anyone looking to learn to swim, like Shara, will enjoy this episode, as will back-of-pack marathoners, such as Kate, who is curious about long training runs. (Avid readers having a “mystery moment” will appreciate the details host Sarah provides in response to Kate’s second question.) And heavy sweat-ers like Bridget will find the host duo’s answers, ahem, cool. 
 
Before serving up answers at 8:29, Sarah tells tales about the recent Lake Placid retreat. Many Nutritious Miles are served up here. Please record your question by calling 470-BADASS1 (470-223-2771).

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!
