Striving in Running—and Academia

Chasers of big goals, take a listen: Sarah and Tish chat with Vanessa Corcoran, Ph.D., author of the new memoir It’s a Marathon, Not a Sprint, which details her juggling-act of marathon training while pursuing her doctorate degree. Vanessa talks about:

-being open about taking bigger risks for potential bigger rewards;

-going gluten-free after a Celiac diagnosis while marathon training;

-the ways running eases her clinical anxiety; and,

-the importance of a strong support network—for running, work, + parenting.

Before the guest joins at 17:56, Sarah and Tish commiserate about injuries—and Sarah details her teen son’s recent major dance performances.
