Runners Without Limits

In today’s podcast we talk about how to approach running when traveling. If you have to travel a lot for work like Jen, learn some of her tips and tricks to make sure you get your runs in while balancing work. If you are heading out on vacation, learn our approach to finding balance between R&R and getting the crazies out on a run. Or, if you just want to sit on the beach and not run, learn how to approach your training plan to achieve your goals. No matter how you approach travel, running or not running is possible.

About Us

Heather and Jen are a coach/athlete duo that talk about all things running during a weekly podcast. Heather has been an athlete for most of her life. She took her love of swimming and entered the triathlon world, eventually crushing Ironman. She eventually married her love of running and all things Disney and tackled a number of runDisney runs. This is where she met Jen. Jen began running during her weight loss journey half a dozen years ago. She previously only ran from base to base as a varsity softball player and loathed running. But thanks to her friends and a supportive network, she ran her first 5K. Heather and Jen met as Jen was training for her first half marathon and eventually her first full marathon thanks to Heather’s encouragement. The two are now dear friends and share a coach/athlete relationship. This friendship and love for running comes through on their podcast.
