Another Mother Runner

Many Happy Miles: The Unforgiving Hours


Listen Later

If you ever wondered what drives someone to run 100 miles, swim across the English Channel, or dive into near-freezing water—all in the name of pushing limits—this episode is for you. We’re joined by Shannon Hogan, author of The Unforgiving Hours, a new book celebrating the grit and grace of "ordinary" endurance athletes. In the episode, Shannon shares...

  • Her own “unforgiving” athletic feats;
  • How the subjects in her book prove that mental toughness can often trump physical ability;
  • Lessons from endurance sports that apply to everyday life…and more. 

  • Note: This is our final Miles of Books segment on Another Mother Runner. Starting Tuesday, April 22, Miles of Books launches as its own podcast! Episodes will air every other Tuesday, alternating between nonfiction (hosted by Coach Liz + Sarah) and fiction (hosted by Sarah + Ellison Weist). We’re excited to share more stories—and grow our community of book-loving runners!
