Description

This episode is an intriguing listen to any runner or triathlete: Hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams talk with three pairs of friends who support each other in races as “running sherpas.” Find out what that term means, along with: 

-the strength + help provided by these friends; 

-the power of psychic bonds; 

-how having a sherpa off-loads decision-fatigue; 

-the importance of giving tough-love mid-race; and,

-how a phone call changed a marathon finish-time! 

 

Before the first racer-sherpa duo joins at about 11:27 , the hosts make timely confessions. In Miles of Books at the end of the episode, Coach Liz does a deep dive into a book about confidence. (Here’s the Miles of Books book group on Facebook.) Shop for cute new merch!
