Summary
Sarah welcomes co-host Coach Christine Hinton to talk about setting—and reaching—major running goals. They are “joined” by nearly a dozen mother runners (through voice memos) who share their ambitions, everything from running a half-marathon in under two hours to taking on a 100-mile race for the first time, and everything in between. Coach Christine uses a wonderful mountain analogy for reaching a lofty aspiration, then talks about the importance of chipping away at it. Christine points out the difference in changes a newer runner can achieve in a race versus a more seasoned racer, and she touches on how nutrition can facilitate some changes. The mother runners ruminate on the importance of being mindful of your inner voice—and how to “be your own mom” when it comes to responding to that voice.

| 0:35.0 | Okay. Well, something that came up just yesterday as I got a question from a client that despite, it always kind of surprises me a little bit. |
| 0:47.3 | It's about breathing and in my 15 years of coaching it continues to come up and it's about |
| 0:51.8 | whether you should breathe through your nose only or |
| 0:55.6 | through your nose and mouth that to me that sounds you know I kind of giggle because |
| 1:00.8 | you know you want to get in as much air as you can but growing up a lot of in school and PE teachers and in yoga class were all taught to kind of breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. |
| 1:11.0 | So I had a client and I hope Shauna doesn't mind me calling |

| 1:23.7 | oxygen is fuel for your for your muscles so we're able to get her to breathe using |

| 1:35.6 | So keep the nose breathing to the yoga. |
| 1:40.0 | Well that's good to know because I mean I just, there are times that I feel I can't even get my mouth open wide enough like that I'm like, is there another way to get oxygen in here? |
