Welcome to AMR Trains, a podcast about training and racing and endurance sports.

I'm Damody McDowell, co-founder of another Motherrunner.

I am really, be-get-that-really, excited for today's episode because we are talking cycling.

As you likely know, I spend a lot of time on two wheels.

I love how strong cycling makes me feel.

I love how much ground I can cover on a bike.

I love that it's a low-impact sport, and I love watching the smooth payment just roll

out underneath me as I speed along.

What I don't love about cycling is that it can be intimidating.

Just the thought of a flat tire used to keep me home.

The sport definitely has a learning curve, and we're going to talk through that in the

second part of the show.

First, though, I'd like to welcome the Train Like a Mother Club coaches, Jen Harrison

and Liz Waterstrat, who are both expert cyclists and triathletes, and are both coaching

me privately for some aqua bike events this summer and fall, so I know they know their

stuff.

We're going to spend the first part of the show talking about the benefits of cycling

and how to integrate it into a running routine.

So welcome coaches, Liz and Jen.

Thanks for coming.

Thanks for having us.

Awesome.
