Runner Identity + Its Effect on Health (Rerun)

This is the episode for anyone who has ever felt like an imposter at a race or who struggles to declare they’re a runner. Sarah and Ellison talk with a researcher, plus two real-life mother runners, addressing issues like:-ways to get comfortable calling yourself a runner;-why self-identifying as a runner boosts exercise adherence;-how a health scare made one gal jump on the exercise train;-the ways being a single parent stripped one woman of her athletic identity; and,-how one guest is trying to get over her “imposter syndrome.” In a freshly recorded intro (interview portion of ep originally dropped in 9/19), Sarah shares a funny shoe story and Katie talks up her newest athletic passion. The convo with the first guest starts at 16:08. When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.We appreciate your—and their—support! Take steps to better running: Use code AMR15 for 15% discount at Currex.us Learn more about your ad choices.
