Sarah and Amanda are joined by three mother runners who are veterans of these challenging undertakings. First up and fresh off her second running of the Twin Cities Loony Challenge is Kate Walton, who stresses the importance of tending to recovery. She recommends a homeopathic remedy that helped her legs feel (relatively!) fresh in a 10-mile race the morning after doing back-to-back 10K and 5K races. Next up is a laughter-filled chat with Jindy Garfias, who ran her first-ever marathon the day after running a half-marathon at Disney World as part of the Goofy Races.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is the Another Mother Runner podcast. This is Sarah Bowen Shea. |
| 0:14.0 | And before I bring on my co-host, I want to talk about passing the coaching baton and the co-hosting duty from Christine Hinton to Amanda Loudon. |
| 0:21.0 | Christine has been with another mother runner since our |
| 0:23.7 | earliest days and we're starting to have her step aside. Let me read a note from |
| 0:27.6 | Coach Christine sent to the Train Like a Mother Club members in September. It is |
| 0:32.1 | with mixed emotions that I announce that I will be stepping back from a majority of the coaching responsibilities at AMR. |
| 0:37.0 | I've been working as a coach for AMR since its inception. It is very much a part of my running heart and soul. I feel a special connection to each |
| 0:44.5 | hashtag bummer as well as Dimity and Sarah and never want to see that disappear. |
| 0:48.6 | As some of you may know my life has taken some big twists and turns over the last couple years and now I find myself a single mother. |
| 0:55.0 | As such I needed to get a stable job with benefits as well as get my butt out of the house. |
| 1:00.0 | My coaching business is largely online, fantastic when my children were younger, and my extroverted |

| 1:15.5 | coaching the middle school cross-country team. I just finished my first few weeks of |
| 1:19.2 | school and coaching which were both exhaustingly amazing. |
| 1:23.0 | So that was from Coach Christine as her sign-off |
| 1:26.5 | from being a co-host of this podcast, |
| 1:29.4 | as well as one of the coaches in the train |
| 1:31.4 | like a mother club. |
| 1:32.7 | And I will say that Coach Christine will be on the podcast |
| 1:36.2 | in mid-November, along with one of her coaching prodigies, |
| 1:39.4 | Adrian Martini, to talk over Adrian's debut marathon. |
