For this fun episode, Tricia, Olivia, Shanna, & Whitney answer a wide array of listener questions sharing our advice & experiences. Some questions we covered:
-at what age do you stop doing stroller runs with your kids?
-how do you push past your mental barrier in a race?
-what is harder? breastfeeding or training for a marathon?
-where to stash your energy gels during a marathon?
-& what's up with pooping in a marathon?
Tricia also shares how she is woefully unprepared for her ultra (spoiler! she ended up WINNING IT for females!). & we have our usual mother runner shout-out & review. We will take a break next week for spring break & resume with season 2 in April. Thanks for listening and being a part of our community!
