Open Water Swim Tips and Tricks

Welcome to the Middle Miles podcast (formerly IRaceLikeAGirl), an endurance sports podcast hosted by Angela Naeth and Amy Woods. We are a professional triathlete and an age-group athlete, best friends and coaches, and we've seen the sport from every angle. We dive into the space most endurance athletes actually live in: the middle miles. 

We cover it all:  marathon builds and Ironman prep, fueling, mental toughness, training and racing tips, and above all, finding joy in the process.

Whether you're chasing a podium, a PR, or just trying to stay consistent in a busy life, The Middle Miles is your reminder that progress happens in the middle.
