Listen in as Dimity, Sarah, Jess and Amy talk about how:
—The two got became runners (both started with a marathon distance!);
—Jess overcame overtraining and disordered eating to run her best marathon at age 45;
—Amy had a frustrating journey to a diagnosis of type one diabetes—and how she ran her marathon PR after being diagnosed;
—The pair approach training with the perspective of "commitment with flexibility" and "curiosity with possibility."
