Another Mother Runner Radio 21: The Importance of Rest

Sarah and Dimity talk about nothing—doing nothing, that is. Rest is a crucial part of an exercise program, whether it’s a rest day during a training plan; recovering properly after a race; not overdoing it on “easy” days; or getting enough sleep. The gals cover all these forms of rest as they crack each other up. This podcast also reveals such personal details about Dimity as her family dinner routine, her bedtime, and her astrological sign.

Another Mother Runner Radio 20: Strong Women Lift Weights

Sarah and Dimity host guest Ashleigh Kayser, the beautifully buff personal trainer and mom of 4, who designed the at-home strength training plan in Train Like a Mother. Ashleigh leads the circuit training class that Sarah grunts-yet-laughs through twice a week, so the truth comes out about one mother-runner’s weak spots. Ashleigh highlights the imbalances most runners have, and how they can overcome them with some multi-muscle moves (which Dimity remembers to call, “compound exercises”). She also tells us (and you) how to strengthen those muscles nobody but your doc and maybe your partner sees.

Another Mother Runner Radio 19: Boston Marathon, Baby!

The ladies had planned to talk race-day preparation, but Dimity turned the conversation into a chat about Sarah’s upcoming race, the Boston Marathon. It felt like a gift to Sarah, letting her talk and contemplate her choices for the race—from what she’ll wear to when and where she’ll eat the night before and how to ensure she stays present in the (glorious, somewhat painful) moment. Along the way, the ladies impart a few race-day tips—and tell a surprisingly amusing anecdote about Dimity’s mom hiding under a desk during a recent bank heist.

Another Mother Runner Radio 18: So Many Choices!

Giddy from the debut of Train Like a Mother, the mother runners discuss (Dimity might even say, “pontificate”) the options to consider when going for a run: Indoors or out? Which route to follow? Solo or with a pal? Silence, playlist, podcast–or the steady beat of a metronome.

Along the way, discover how Dimity almost loses the podcast’s FCC “clean” rating, and hear her tell about her recent massive wipeout. And excuse Sarah for misquoting “Rain Man.” It’s 82, not 84. She quickly realized her error….but figured it would seem neurotic to correct herself on air. She knows her husband, Jack, will never let her live down the mistake (neither will her producer – make sure to listen to the very end!).

 Another Mother Runner Radio 17: Train Like a Mother Coach is in the House

Dimity and Sarah talk training with Christine Hinton, the coach and mom of two who created eight of the nine plans in Train Like a Mother, which debuts March 20. Coach Hinton lets you know it’s okay to bail on an occasional workout; clues you in to must-do sessions; tells you how to wake up your fast-twitch muscles; and talks about why you don’t want to “race” your workouts. Also in this info-packed podcast, Dimity tosses out the word, “ennui.” Look out!

 Another Mother Runner Radio 16:  A Run down Memory Lane

The mother runners reflect on their “salad days” of running—from Dimity’s first sprint (in pursuit of a band hat) to Sarah discovering sports in college as an alternative to fraternity-house debauchery. They laugh over Dimity’s failed celebratory cheer in Central Park during the 1997 New York City Marathon, as well as Sarah’s inability to come up with a single standout race moment during her 30’s. This podcast is heavy on chitchat and laughter, light on advice.

 Another Mother Runner Radio 15:  Lady Doc: An OB/GYN Gives Advice for Active Moms

Sarah and Dimity talk with Dr. Amanda Hurtubise, an OB/GYN in Port Huron, Michigan, who they found through her informed, insightful comments on their Facebook page. This mom of three and beginning-again runner quickly dubs this show about “the fallout of running,” addressing TMI topics like vaginal prolapse, urinary incontinence, and risk of infection from hanging out in sweaty workout wear. The good doctor also talks about running during pregnancy. The show’s highlight, though, is Dimity oversharing about her shaving habits. Talk about TMI!

Another Mother Runner Radio 14: Tips for Newbie–and Returning Injured—Runners

Whether you recently took up running or are coming back to our beloved sport after some time off, Dimity and Sarah dish out loads of advice you need to know. Dimity is right there with you, staring down yet another return to running after an injury (or two). The mother runners talk about the importance of not comparing yourself to anyone else, incorporating walking breaks, focusing on distance not speed, and finding a running buddy. And the ladies tell you why they envy your fresh, only-just-begun slate.

Another Mother Runner Radio 13:  Goal Setting, Goal Keeping

Go for goals: Dimity and Sarah eschew the word “resolutions,” preferring instead to talk about New Year’s goals. The mother runners impart advice and insight about making goals—set the bar high, but not too lofty–and attaining them. They talk about the importance of having a contingency plan for when life backfires on you and your planned workout. Along the way, Sarah nearly laughs herself silly, and Dimity tosses out an award-winning array of pithy aphorisms. (Sarah must be rubbing off on her!)

Another Mother Runner Radio 10: Shoe Business: Find Your Perfect Running Shoe

Let’s start from the ground up: Unless you’re jumping on the barefoot movement, one of the two must-haves for mother runners is running shoes (the other is a sports bra). While Dimity and Sarah consider themselves shoe-geeks (well, SBS does anyway), on this show, they brought on a true professional, Sonya Estes, owner of Runners Roost in Lakewood, Colorado, to talk pronation, cushioning, stability, and all things footwear-related to help guide you to your perfect pair.

Another Mother Runner Radio 9: Post-race Recovery

Congratulations, you’ve crossed the finish line! Now what? Post-race recovery is the oft-overlooked part of a race plan, yet it’s as important to your overall running health as training. After walking you through the steps of a reverse taper, Sarah and Dimity discuss how soon to sign up for another race as well as how to get over the post-race blues. Go ahead, wear your finisher’s medal while you listen—you earned it.

Another Mother Runner Radio 8: Does size matter?

Bart Yasso in the house! Dimity and Sarah knew there’s no one better than Runner’s World Chief Running Officer, and general race expo bon vivant, to debate the pros and cons of of big race versus smaller race, so the gals brought their bud Bart on to chat. They let Bart lead the conversation, and it ends with the gals getting a little choked up and teary-eyed. In a word: acceptance.

Plus, laugh along as the gals throw out enough 5-dollar words to pay a race entry fee.

Another Mother Runner Radio 5: Gotta get a goal

With big fall races happening every weekend, Dimity and Sarah suspect mother runners have been reflecting (read: obsessing) on their race goals. Listen as the ladies reflect on their own personal goals – those met and those unmet (ouch!) – and share the wisdom of setting multiple goals. Along the way, hear the gals struggle with math computations and pronoun agreement.
