This episode features Andrea Amiot, a 42-year-old runner, coach, business owner, and mom from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, who recently returned to the marathon after a 6-year break—and did so in style.
Andrea ran a beautifully executed 3:18:13 at Grandma’s Marathon on June 21st, pacing herself with remarkable consistency despite rising temperatures. But as you’ll hear, this race was about so much more than just the finish time.
For Andrea, Grandma’s became a powerful metaphor for life: an invitation to slow down, stay present, say yes to the things that light her up, and trust that everything else would still get done.
We talk about:
✅ What led her back to the marathon after 6 years away
✅ How she trained for and executed such an evenly paced race
✅ The mindset shifts that helped her release stress and fully enjoy the moment
✅ The significance of her post-race tattoo and what it represents
✅ How she juggles multiple businesses, coaching, family life, and her own athletic goals
Andrea’s joy, wisdom, and grounded approach to life and running are truly contagious. We think you’ll walk away from this episode feeling inspired to not only run stronger but live more fully.
