Another Mother Runner

#452: Insight from Plus-Size Runner + Running Memoirist Beth Probst


Listen Later

Sarah and Coach Liz have a wonderfully candid conversation with Beth Probst, who just self-published her running-related memoir entitled It Could Be Worse: A Girlfriend’s Guide for Runners Who Detest Running. (Use code AMR2021 here to save 20%.) Beth shares:

-why she went from couch to half-marathon in just 15 weeks;

-the hurdles and stigmas she faces as a heavier runner;

-why she hates (truly!) running, yet what she keeps her going;

-her enlightened attitude toward goals (both her own + other runners’); and,

-her perspective on the possibility of finishing last in a race.
