#209: Mother-Daughter Running Duo to Celebrate Mother’s Day

In honor of Mother’s Day, Sarah and co-host Ellison Weist talk with writer Jen Miller and Jen’s 61-year-old mother, Mary Miller, who just ran her first half-marathon. Three days post-marathon, Jen dishes the deal on the Hanson Method of training, which propelled her to a 37-second PR despite a host of maladies. Mom Mary admits she hurt worse during training than in her 13.1-mile race, and she talks about her reasons for having a coach for the last four years. Find out how Jen got paid $750 to fun her first 5K, and listen to the gals compare notes about napping during the workday. As she does in her new memoir, Running: A Love Story, Jen shares why running let’s her find answers to problems in her life, whether related to work or her love life. Finally, for a dose of TMI, Jen talks about why she can’t train for fall marathons, opting instead to lift weights and train for sprint events. Learn more about your ad choices.
