Do you ever notice that at particular topics seem to keep coming up over and over? Maybe it's because Mothers' Day is coming up, but mother guilt has been coming up a lot lately. There was a great discussion about it on twitter here which I put my two cents in on, but I found I had more to say too.

Okay running moms, I need your input: imagine you're at home with your baby, feeling a little stir crazy, and a voice tells you that you shouldn't run. That it's selfish and time consuming. What would you say to that voice? How would you counter?

So in this episode of the podcast, I'm talking all about the guilt and why I think it's so important to take a closer look at it.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to support someone running 160 kilometres? Kirsten doesn't wonder, because she did it for Jo recently. You can read all about Jo's amazing race here.

But in this episode of the podcast Kirsten talks about the other side of the experience. What it's like to crew for someone, how you can best support them, what you can learn from the experience and how it has helped form her goals as well. And how supporting someone can be just as nerve-wracking and just as fulfilling as running your own race.

It's a long one, because we aren't capable of anything else, apparently.
