This episode is an interview with runner and coach, Amy Haas. Amy is from Columbus, Ohio and is better known on Instagram as Race Across the States because she has completed a half marathon in every single state. In addition to that accomplishment, she is also a sub 3 hour marathoner as well as a running and strength coach. Amy is expecting her first baby due in a few weeks, and has been able to train and even race throughout her pregnancy.
In today’s episode, we talk about:
- How Amy discovered her love for running, and how that love for running eventually turned into a way to control how her body looked
- Amy’s worsening struggles with her relationship with food and body image, and the rock bottom that ultimately served as her wake up call to make some changes
- How increasing her fueling and not focusing on weight allowed her to go from a 1:58 to a 1:19 half marathoner, and why weight isn’t everything when it comes to performance
- Amy’s journey to becoming pregnant, navigating a miscarriage, and experiencing pregnancy after loss
- What it has been like for her to continue to train and race throughout pregnancy, and why it has been an important part of her pregnancy journey
If you’d like to keep up with Amy, you can find her on Instagram @raceacrossthestates and you can also learn more about her coaching business HERE.
***Trigger warning: this episode discusses pregnancy and pregnancy loss, so you may want to skip it if you’re not in a place to hear about those topics.***
