TERA MOODY: Former Pro Runner REDEFINING SUCCESS as a Mother Runner

Tera Moody was a stand-out runner as a kid. I’m talking state champ. Went on to run at Colorado as part of the national championship team. Placed 8th in the Olympic Trials marathon in 2008. Top ten in the Chicago Marathon, TWICE. Represented the US in Worlds. Has a lifetime PR of 2:30 in the marathon.

You get the picture.

But it hasn’t been all skittles and sunshine for Tera. She had a coach who was old-school and promoted unhealthy underfueling. As a mom of two, running would completely wipe her out. Mom guilt for running would steal the joy. And, at times, running turned into an unhealthy coping mechanism.

But through all this, Tera has grown and learned so much and I’m so excited for her to share her insights with us. She’s incredible open about a lot of things such as:

🌀What she saw in her kids that helped her overcome mom guilt

🌀The biggest change she made to keep her energy and mileage up

🌀Her genius idea for re-setting PRs as a mom and a master’s runner

🌀And telltale signs that running is an unhealthy coping mechanism rather than a healthy lifestyle, and so much more.

You are going to walk away from this episode inspired to redefine success as a mom and runner in a way that just makes you feel GOOD.
