If you’re thinking of expanding your athletic world beyond running, give this episode a listen. Co-hosts Sarah and Coach Liz share their beyond-running sporty passions (pickleball and gravel cycling, respectively), then they chat with Lauren, who recently dove into swimming. The trio discuss:

-steps for taking up a new sport (including this swimming book);
-the importance of continuing to challenge yourself;
-the power of putting yourself in the beginner’s mindset;
-the anxiety folks feel as a novice; and,
-the joy the gals feel doing their new sport.

Liz shares a laugh-out-loud kid story before the hosting duo share their sporty stories; Lauren joins at 51:04. Find AMR co-branded Oiselle shorts here (they’re selling fast!), and please take our survey. TIA.
