Summary

This week, the co-hosts dive into the tough reality of traumatic injuries in running, and the emotional and physical hurdles that come with being sidelined. Listen as two members of the Another Mother Runner community share their stories behind the injuries and how they’re healing. First, Coach Jenn Harrison—a triathlete and AMR Heart + Sole and Triathlon coach—recounts how she tore her hamstring during a trail run, which required surgery and a long recovery. Jenn shares the intense moments of her rescue, her surgery, and the resilience she’s cultivating to stay positive through healing. Next, BAMRbassador Lorinda Donaldson shares how she’s healing (and managing!) after a fall from her bike left her with fractures resulting in limited use of both arms—and an uncertain timeline for returning to running.
