  • The round table talk

    Sara, Tish, and Amanda shared great thoughts over the last 45 minutes+ about life with Running and some varieties and evolving that it has become for all three of them. I was out in my woods doing a little walk run and enjoyed every minute of it. I laughed, and even said ha, ha that sounds like me. It also encourage me to know that if I’m out and about doing my thing, I will continue doing that. It is the best.

  • Can’t get enough

    I especially like the AMR answers, the end of year host recaps, any personal updates from the hosts, and the new book reviews. Yay to it all.

  • Down to earth, fun and friendly

    This podcast is fun, friendly, encouraging and welcoming. I enjoy the hosts who are so wise, lighthearted, kind and down to earth. They bring in great guests, answer listener questions with appropriate guidance and are supportive of all runners, from the newer/less experienced to the veterans. They even discuss non-running movement topics such as open water swimming, pickleball, triathlon and Elliptigo.

  • Feeling a little loss…

    I think of AMR as my best podcast friend (BPF😊) I was really sad this morning to listen to the last episode of Many Happy Miles. I am a little behind schedule. I think the book podcasts are good, but I am with AMR because I want to hear about running and runners. Over the past couple of years, it feels like the podcast is drifting away from running and I feel like I am slowly losing my best friend. Today I even heard a pickleball sponsor on the podcast. I am all for pickleball for those who... more

  • Inspiring and Relatable

    I have been listening for years, these gals inspired me to continue running after having kids and even to try my first marathon! Now that I have 4 kids, I do not run as much but always come back to listen for motivation, even if it’s not for running. Although- after the Iron Man episode I’m thinking of training…for at least a 10K!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Defeat Self-Sabotage + Bolster Self-Confidence
Q: What practical routines can runners adopt to advocate for themselves and reduce self-sabotage on race day?
Build habits over time like positive self-talk, visualizing success, journaling wins, and maintaining pre-race routines; on race day rely on a few simple tools (music, breathing, posture) to stay focused without overhauling behavior at the last minute.
How to Defeat Self-Sabotage + Bolster Self-Confidence
Q: Let's discuss the very premise of this episode. Do you believe it's possible to banish self-sabotage, or should we focus on reframing the internal dialogue?
They argue that banishing thoughts entirely is unrealistic; instead, recognize thoughts as not always true and focus on reframing actions—banishing the urge to act on those thoughts and increasing self-awareness and compassionate responses.
Expert Advice for Running Your First Marathon
Q: When a runner is contemplating doing a marathon for the first time, what do you tell them as you assess readiness?
Focus on why they want to run, ensure they have a solid running base to avoid injury, and evaluate timing to make sure training won't overwhelm life; a deeper, personal why and a sustainable plan are key.
A Physical Therapist Debunks Top Running Myths
Q: What is the most important thing runners should work on besides mileage?
Strength and technique are key: being strong enough to tolerate long runs and moving efficiently to reduce injury risk and improve performance.
Skincare for Runners + Walkers
Q: Are there recommendations for a sunscreen that will stay on sweaty skin for a half marathon?
No sunscreen is truly sweat-proof; choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with sweat resistance labels and plan for reapplication during the run; duration and speed determine need for reapplication.
