Sara Parrish Makes Physical Activity a Priority in Every Area of Her Life
On today’s show, I’m joining Sara Parrish for a few easy miles.
Sara Parrish
In addition to being a runner, Sara is also a triathlete, a competitive mountain biker, a hockey player, and personal trainer so obviously being physically active is very important to her in all areas of her life.
Her varied interests in the health and fitness world provided plenty of things to talk about during our run today. In addition to talking about the marathon that she’s training for, we also talked about her experience representing Team USA in the world triathlon championships, her worst sports related injury, and a local fitness challenge she is holding at her gym in Missouri.
Here are some of the highlights of our conversation.
- How her competitive nature drives her in races
- Her experience as a member of Team USA in the world triathlon championships
- Comparing mountain biking and trail running
- Why the marathon at the end of an ironman was “easy” compared to her first stand alone marathon
- Great exercises for runners to add to their routine
- The importance of having a strong core and good flexibility
- The 417 Challenge

There’s always room for more members of the tribe!
Both the Facebook group and the email group provide opportunities that can’t be found anywhere else.
The Facebook group is still small, but it is a great way to connect with fellow runners and foster community amongst like minded individuals. The email group is THE way to stay up to date about future guests on the show, as well as getting some other freebies and offers that aren’t available to anyone else.
If you’ve got questions about either/both, just let me know!
Thanks so much for this great interview Denny… really enjoyed the show and allowing your parameters of the show to expand a little to include Sara’s lifestyle to expand on more than running… great stuff:-)
Thanks for connecting us Jaime!
