The Q & A Episode: Answering Listener Questions

Send us Fan Mail

This episode is a special one. We answer our listeners’ questions which vary from what our favorite shoes are to how we handle mom guilt when leaving our kids to run (& have our partners watch them). 

Per usual, this episode begins with us catching up on our current status of mom life. Shanna and Olivia discuss how it feels being alone for the first time since becoming a mom with their kids now in school. And we go on a tangent about nursing and pumping, among other things. 

We will be doing more Q & A episodes on our secret podcast on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/c/MileswithMomsPodcast). Don’t forget to sign up for a e-newsletter at mileswithmoms.com. & leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts!

Thanks for being here!

Whitney Heins is a mom of 2, a lifelong runner, a VDOT-certified running coach for moms who run, and founder of the resource, themotherrunners.com. When training for her first marathon as a mom, she found a dearth of information related to running and motherhood. She also felt extremely isolated as a new mom. As a former TV journalist and a freelance writer she decided to use her skills to fill the void with an online resource and community, called The Mother Runners. Whitney also recognized a need for run coaches who understood the demands of motherhood, so she also became a running coach—unearthing a passion for helping moms reap the rewards and empowerment of running. Coming out of a long injury cycle, she ran a 2:54 marathon and 1:20 half marathon in her 40s. She lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, two kids, and three dogs.
