Summary

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.
