Description

Runners looking for inspiration: Listen to this episode, a conversation with ultrarunner Jacky Hunt-Broersma, who started running a mere five years ago—after losing her leg to cancer two decades ago. With Sarah and Amanda co-hosting, Jacky shares:
-her gratitude about the journey that took her from amputation to professional runner;
-how the first mile of every run is uniquely uncomfortable for her;
-why she finds trails more appealing than roads;
-her "unfinished business" with a 240-mile race in Moab, Utah; and
-her sub-24-hour 100-mile run on a NordicTrack treadmill.
Before the ultramarathoner joins at 13:17, the hosting duo talks about extreme weather they've run in recently.

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!
