#481: A Chat w/ the Author of I Hate Running

Sarah and Molly have a good gab with Brendan Leonard, a.k.a. Semi-Rad, author of the satirical-and-insightful book I Hate Running and You Can Too. The trio talks about:-the love-hate relationship many folks have with running and fitness;-the need to becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable; -the intangible gains running bestows, such as resilience and stoicism; -the ins-and-out of self-talk; and, -accountability v. inspiration. In the intro chitchat, Molly details her upcoming hiking adventure, including her greatest irrational fears. Brendan joins the conversation at 14:45.When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR. We appreciate your—and their—support!Cheers!
