Synopsis: The authors of Run Like a Mother share a comprehensive guide to race training for busy runners of all experience levels. In Train Like a Mother, elite runners Dimitry McDowell and Sarah Bowen Shea offer inspiration and practical advice on how to run a race—from training plan to finish line. Covering four race distances (5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon), they discuss pre- and post-race nutrition; strength training; injury prevention (and rehab); the importance of recovery; and everything busy women need to know to add racing to their multitasking schedules. It is all presented with the same wit, empathy, and tone the avid fans connect and identify with.
