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!414118 Hygiene & Healthy Living Running & Jogging

    Miles of Books: The Way of Excellence with Coach Liz Waterstraat
    Mar 31 2026

    This week, Sarah Bowen Shea is joined by Coach Liz Waterstraat for a conversation about one nonfiction title: The Way of Excellence by Brad Stulberg. The two talk about how excellence feels more like ease than strain, why values matter, and how curiosity, discipline, and reflection can help athletes, leaders, parents, and anyone else move toward growth.

    Liz also shares why this personal-development book stands out from the pack—and why it’s worth the read.

    Jumpstart Your Running! with Jen Harrison and Erin Haugen, Ph.D
    Mar 27 2026

    Anyone looking to kickstart her running habit—or begin a new one—will appreciate this episode featuring Jennifer Harrison, a veteran endurance coach and accomplished triathlete, and sport psychologist Erin Haugen, Ph.D. Along with the hosting duo of Sarah Bowen Shea and Amanda Loudin, they discuss:

    • how adding walks into your run can re-ignite joy
    • the natural ebb and flow of exercising
    • getting over the fear of re-injury
    • ways to shed the dread of a run
    • that your “why” doesn’t need to be a deep, meaningful thing

    Before Coach Jen joins around 8:40, the hosts also enjoy a quick catch-up on work (Amanda) and family (Sarah).

This podcast was perfect timing for what I am going through at this time. With Disney Wine and Dine registrations this week, I'm giving up my "perfect" challenge status because running just isn't in the cards for me anymore. Thanks for the timely podcast.

Just the right time!
