#662 - Natalie Mitchell: Coaching Your Kids/Teen Runners

Natalie Mitchell has proven that even long-term dedicated amateur runners can get faster, even into their 50's. She's a shining example of what's possible. Not only that, she's a dedicated coach who has also been assisting with two of her children's high school team. The boys squad, on which her son Josh is a senior, just won the 4A California title and was ranked in the 20th in the nation. Natalie's daughter, Megan, was a freshman on the girls squad which also had a successful season. In this episode, Natalie shares how she has helped cultivate a love of running with her children while addressing their individual differences and making sure her passion for the sport doesn't overwhelm her desire to help them forge their own path in the sport.
