130. Sarah Bowen Shea: Another Mother Runner




For The Long Run: Exploring the Why Behind Running show

Summary: Sarah Bowen Shea is a mom of three teens in Portland, Oregon, the cofounder of Another Mother Runner which is a largely online community for women runners, and before that was a freelance magazine journalist.  In this episode (which was full of lots of laughter) we talked about: -Another Mother Runner and its growth -sponsorship and more -failure -community and what it means for her -balance -meditation -2020 and how it has impacted AMR -a lot of reflections on the podcast guests -our first marathons -more laughter -and much more! Follow along with Sarah Bowen Shea at https://twitter.com/SBSOnTheRun and instagram.com/TheMotherRunner Thanks to GU Energy Labs for sponsoring this episode. Initially known as THE energy gel company, GU now offers several different product lines designed to meet the needs of today’s athlete.  It’s not just the mid run refueling option that I love, but their post run recovery protein that mixes SO well with coffee, or even the before bed magnesium and vitamin D supplement too. No other magnesium supplement has worked as well as theirs has for me.  This season of running is a great time to try something new, so why not try GU?
