Any runners looking to mix things up will enjoy this enlightening, entertaining episode featuring three women (including this coach) who swear by riding an ElliptiGO bike. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Coach Liz Waterstraat, the active trio details:

-what exactly is the strange-looking contraption; 

-fitness benefits they’ve experienced (e.g. a 13.1 PR at 51!); 

-using an ElliptiGO as a great rehab tool post-injury; 

-challenging workouts they’ve done on the ElliptiGO; and, 

-how they all feel bigger + safer on it than on a bike.  

Before the first guest joins around 8:24, Coach Liz tells of a recent easy run she “let” her husband go on with her, and Sarah shares a story about the workout she and Molly did that morning.

This is the episode for anyone who sometimes exercises as much for social reasons as health ones—and those gals who are looking for in-person support.

-advice on approaching not-yet-friends to run with you; 

-how athletic groups are about so much more than sports; 

-laughter being more important than a win for SBS; and,
