Welcome to season 2 episode 15 of The Fuel Run Recover podcast! This week I'm bringing you our very first panel discussion, with not one, but TWO fellow running coaches to talk about returning to running after babies! In this episode we discuss some of the challenges runners can face post-partum, but also why your potential as a runner doesn't need to go out the window after having kids! Erin Van Schyndle is a Postpartum Run Coach and Personal Trainer. She has been working in prenatal and postpartum fitness for 14 years and is a UESCA certified run coach. She has run everything from 5ks to marathons and 70.3 triathlon distances. Erin became passionate about helping postpartum runners after her own postpartum running experience was anything but easy. It seemed like any time she got some momentum, she would get injured, sick, or burnt out. She finally reached out to a physical therapist and run coach who specifically worked with postpartum women. It was a complete game changer. After Erin had such a great experience with a coach, she got her run coaching certification and took additional training on postpartum running. She loves helping other postpartum runners get back to the sport they love. You can find Erin at therunningdoula.com and @erintherunningdoula on instagram.  Jessie is a Boston Qualifying runner who is on a journey to complete a marathon in all 50 states began as a way to visit friends and travel since has completed 25 marathons (in 23 states) along with multiple 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons. She has also had her experience as a triathlete completing many Sprint and Olympic distance triathlons along with a half Ironman. Her motivation has allowed her to self-coach herself to PRs after reading multiple running books before finally deciding to get her RRCA running coach certification in 2021, to be able to help other runners improve their running and find the thrill as well. Her current PRs are a 19:32 5K, 1:30 half marathon, and 3:13 marathon. She has her own run coaching business Running with Roses and also assists with run coaching for Running Explained.

Samantha's journey in running is marked by significant milestones, including her first 5K and marathon in the same year. From there, she delved deeper into the running world, participating in numerous marathons, half marathons, and even ultra races. Throughout her running endeavors, Samantha found unwavering support and companionship from her sister, who has been her dedicated running partner. Their most recent adventure took them to Colorado for a challenging 3-day, 60-mile stage race. Sam's relationship with food has been complex, marked by a history of struggles with dieting and food restriction since childhood.
