Description

Sarah and Amanda have a conversation with Ashlee Lawson Green, co-founder of RUNGRL, a digital media and event platform for Black women focused on running and wellness. A new, first-time mom and a certified running coach, Ashlee shares:
-a positive-yet-realistic perspective about adjusting to a post-partum body;
-the mission and goals of RUNGRL, including inspiration, information,
and celebration; 
-the importance of creating space for various runners; 
-insight on increasing inclusivity and decreasing “othering” in the running community; and,
-ways to overcome race day or long run anxiety.
In the intro, Sarah details how a local Portland mother runner nudged her out the door on a recent snowy Saturday. Ashlee (with her 4-month-baby on her lap!) joins in at 14:17.

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!
