If you’ve ever felt your weight was holding you back as a runner, you need to listen to this episode: It’s a lively, straight-talking convo between Sarah, Coach Liz, and guest Jill Angie, the size 20/22 author of Not Your Average Runner and a coach of larger-bodied runners. Jill shares:

-the power she gained from reclaiming the word “fat” for herself;

-how she avoids injuries (hint: strength training);

-why focusing on getting faster is a losing proposition for her mindset;

-athletic apparel brands that embrace a wide range of runners;

-assumptions to ditch re: larger-bodies runners

Sarah and Liz swap swimming tales in the intro, while Jill joins at 12:35.
