Calling all runners like Linda, who isn’t interested in honing speed 
but in maintaining consistency: Coach Dimity serves up great advice. 
From a 2-parter from Julie, the hosting duo discuss the best inexpensive
 cross-training options (loads of suggestions!)—and an intriguing koan involving running and walking, sun and shade.

Before the Q+As commence, the hosts dive into a conversation about open-water swimming. Please call 470-BADASS1 (470-223-2771) to record your question. Here are Better Together details.

AMR Answers: Maintenance Training + Low-Cost Cross-Training Gear

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!
