Ready to focus on a running goal like your first half marathon or a Boston qualifying time? This podcast is for you! Dimity and co-host Sarah Wassner Flynn talk to two running experts: Neely Spence Gracey and Cindy Kuzma, co-authors of just-released Breakthrough Women’s Running: Dream Big and Train Smart, a comprehensive how-to guide on finding your own breakthrough as a runner.

Among other things, the conversation covers:

—The ideal timeline for achieving a goal (hint: it’s likely longer than you think!);

—How setbacks often set you up for a breakthrough;

—Why social media can actually be advantageous as you consider goals and dreams; and

—The progress we’re (slowly) making towards giving pregnant runners sound advice.
