About this episode
Whether you already love 3.1-mile races or you are merely considering shorter races, you’ll enjoy this episode. Hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat gab with three fans of 5Ks, who detail:
-how running 5Ks can bolster self-confidence;
-how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable;
-how much stronger they felt running shorter races; and,
-how a shift in race goals can pay unexpected dividends.
Before the first 5K’er hops on at 10:22, Sarah gives an update on her half-marathon training.
