Sarah and co-host Amanda Loudin enjoy a conversation with Liz Lyles, a professional triathlete and mom of two school-age children. In 2016, Liz not only completed two Ironman-distance triathlons—she won both 140.6-mile races, setting a course record at one of them. Liz talks about how, with each passing year, her learning curve of juggling motherhood and training evolves; she shares the keys to her training and racing success. The Reno resident divulges her feelings toward getting a treadmill as a Christmas gift, then spends quite a bit of time talking herself out of anxieties all mother runners will relate to.

This weekly podcast explores the intersection of running and mothering; it was launched in 2011 by the authors of RUN LIKE A MOTHER: HOW TO GET MOVING AND NOT LOSE YOUR FAMILY, JOB, OR SANITY. Host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of 14 marathons, is joined by a rotating coterie of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to the value of a best running friend, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: These mother runners cover it all (and then some). This witty, conversational podcast makes a great running partner because these gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
