Shownotes

No matter what age you were when you became an athlete, you’ll enjoy these insightful conversations with three women who didn’t discover their sporty side until their 40s. With hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton, they share:

  • their “origin” stories of becoming a runner or triathlete
  • the joy of discovering the power of “dirty therapy” (read: trail running)
  • how one runner cut an hour off her marathon finish time
  • ways becoming an athlete changed how they interact in the world
  • a hilarious—and apt—analogy between running and tooth brushing!

Before the first late-bloomer runner hops on around 14:13, Sarah details a recent humbling walk down a marathon-related Memory Lane.
