Stepping up to a New Distance: Half-Marathon, Marathon, + Ultra
Anyone looking for a new running challenge needs to listen to this episode: The guests are running and strength coach Christy Scott, plus three real-world runners who talk about taking on a new-for-them distance: a half-marathon, a marathon, and a 100-mile (!) ultramarathon.
Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin, the guests share:
-the power of consistency—and staying present in the moment
-how one runner proved her cancer docs wrong
-why one chose marathon training to control the chaos in her life
-how they fared in their longer race (blisters and all!)
-how one 67-year-old runner fit a shower + nap into her 100-miler
