Description

In a nod to Father’s Day, Sarah and Dimity talk with Russell Newell, a father of four young kiddos and the author of Irondad Life. In detailing his journey to being on the cusp of his seventh Ironman triathlon, Russ shares: 
-how the more kids he has, the tougher training becomes; 
-his training (or lack thereof!); 
-why he cries as he sprints to the finish line; 
-nutrition advice that helped him get in racing shape; and,
-marathon pacing advice.  
In the intro, Sarah details her recent East Coast trip to visit her elderly mother and her BFF. The Irondad hustles in at 16:41.

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!
