Anyone who struggles with or questions her body image will appreciate this episode, with guest Charlotte Markey Ph.D., a psychology professor at Rutgers University and author of Adultish: The Body Image Book for Life coming out in 2024. Along with hosts Sarah and Tish, the guest discusses: -body neutrality, and how it differs from body positivity; -how compulsive running can be—and how to avoid falling into that trap; -how to set a good example for our kids with our running; and, -obligatory exercise: what it is, and how to avoid it.  Before the guest joins around 9:40, Sarah and Tish hash out finishing less than a second apart in a recent race.

Many Happy Miles: Talking Goal-Setting

A family of two podcasts to get (+ keep) you running without losing your family, friends,  job, or sanity! More than 1,000 (!) back episodes to enjoy.

Every Friday on the original show (launched in 2011), host Sarah Bowen Shea, a mom of three and veteran of 14 marathons, is joined by a rotating cast of co-hosts and often a guest expert to discuss topics ranging from how to reach a big race goal to finding your athletic happy place, and everything in between. Training, nutrition, motivation, mental toughness, TMI issues: This ~hour-long show covers it all (and then some!). 

Every Tuesday, Miles of Books drops, alternating Ellison Weist chatting fiction one week with Sarah Bowen Shea and non-fiction with Coach Liz Waterstraat and Sarah the next. In about 30 minutes, the hosts entice and entertain you with plot descriptions and pearls of training (and life!) advice to guide you to your next great reads. 

Both shows are witty and conversational, making them great running partners because the AMR gals do all the talking—even on the uphills!
