Sherry is the type of person you want to do your long run with. The mom of 4 found running in college to reduce anxiety and stress and it became her medicine and therapy. As a mother, running gave her a space to create a community with other moms, which eventually turned into the instagram account @crazy_mother_runners.
We go off on all sorts of tangents including marriage, motherhood, hormones and friendships. Sherry is both fun and inspiring.

Read MoreNatalie's mindset blew me away. There is no question she is a gifted runner, but her ability to dig deeper and run faster is a coaches dream. She crossed the finish line of a marathon in 3 hours 5 minutes, and set her sights on a OTQ.
Read MoreFinally an episode we all needed, Tory debunks imposter syndrome and teaches us how to beat the voice in our heads. Other great questions include the best way to safely build volume and speed so you can nail training injury free, and what your longest training day should be for long distance races.
Read MoreLizzy grew up in a great community with a supportive family, but like many of us she faced a hard time fitting in during high school. She struggled with severe anorexia and negative relationships that continued into university. During hard times she found peace walking in the forest near her school. Those walks turned into runs, and shortly after she ran her first marathon. One year later, she ran San Diego 100 at just 22 years old. She now describes that race as, "so much more than getting a buckle. It was all that went into it. It was the journey of finding trail running and finding myself along the way."
Read MoreTory and I chat for the first time since the arrival of Baker! This episode gets into the benefits of exercise during birth and postpartum, body image, and a fair bit of ridiculous banter.
We answered a few listener questions that have been on theme lately including how to find your tribe, anxieties when you're new to trail running, and jumping up in volume too fast.
If you have comments or question re body image we aren't finished with that topic, so send them in!
Read MoreCoach Tory and I get together to hash out a few questions on how to build up mileage for a 100mile race, tapering for any distance, and the best bra to beat relentless chafing.
