Description

No matter what stage of running you are in—from pushing a stroller to slowing down due to age—this episode is a must-listen! Host Sarah and Amanda Loudin have a wide-ranging conversation with Amanda Parrish Morgan, a contemplative marathon runner whose book of essays is called Stroller. The guest shares:
-her stark reckonings with getting gray hair early and slowing down; 
-how coaching cross-country taught her to be kinder to herself;
-the impermanence of running; 
-how running with a stroller helped her hone speed and avoid injuries; and, 
-the stroller as a metaphor for parenthood.
 
In the intro, co-host Amanda talks about her recent Colorado half-marathon. The Other Amanda runs in around 11:25.

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!
