The Rambling Runner

In this episode, I sit down with Karen Howe to explore the intricate balance of parenting and nurturing a passion for running. As a mother of two teenagers, Karen shares her journey from a non-runner to a marathon enthusiast and how/if her love for the sport has influenced her children, and how she tries to nurture that passion in them in a sustainable way. Key Highlights: Parenting and Running: We delve into the challenges and joys of having children who share your passion, and the importance of allowing them to find their own path. Lessons Learned: Karen discusses the importance of not over-coaching and letting her children set their own goals, while providing support and encouragement. Balancing Act: The conversation touches on the delicate balance of pushing for excellence without causing burnout, and the role of open communication in parenting.
