Anyone confused by training by heart rate (like Shawn + Deja) will be enlightened by the info in this episode. Get gear recommendations for swimrun races, like the one Shannon is doing this summer. A question from another Shannon gets the gals detailing the many “branches” of Another Mother Runner.

Before they offer answers, Sarah gives an exciting update on her bulging-disk recovery, and Dimity shares the sporty birthday present her husband gave her. Here’s the link to the training plan sales the duo talks up. To ask a question, please call 470-BADASS1(470-223-2771).
