·1 hr·4 clips

"Love is being inconvenienced" becomes the episode's clearest argument.

1. I'll Have Another with Lindsey Hein features a conversation with Whitney Hines about The Mother Runners and the realities of running while parenting. 2. Lindsey Hein hosts the show, and Whitney Hines is the guest, the creator of The Mother Runners website and podcast who also co-hosted Miles with Moms. 3. The episode asks what happens when a running identity, a family schedule, and a new podcast brand all have to fit together. 4. Whitney says she launched The Mother Runners in 2019 after Googling postpartum running questions and finding answers that felt incomplete or discouraging. 5. She describes using her journalism background as a TV newscaster and print reporter to interview experts, other moms, and herself for the website. 6. Whitney explains that she first hosted a podcast for another website called The Passionate Runner before starting her own show. 7. She says Miles with Moms began about a year earlier with three other moms, but coordinating different time zones and busy lives became difficult. 8. Whitney decided to split off and keep the podcast under The Mother Runners name because the brand had already been built over almost six years. 9. She says the show focuses on moms who run, and she describes herself as jokey while also having a habit of interrogating people because she is a trained reporter. 10. Lindsey and Whitney talk about asking children and friends questions, and Lindsey says it matters to ask people about their trips and their lives. 11. The conversation shifts to a 16-year-old dog named Riley, who needs IVs every other day, medication, and help getting outside. 12. Whitney says love can mean being inconvenienced, and she uses the time spent holding Riley in her dining room as an example. 13. Lindsey connects that idea to runners who chase goals while risking imbalance, and Whitney admits she learned that lesson when she launched her website and pushed too hard. 14. Both women discuss how marathon training can leave them irritable, drained, or overly focused on the top of the mountain instead of the daily process. 15. Lindsey says she is best as a parent when she exercises six days a week for 45 minutes to an hour, but not when marathon training consumes her energy. 16. Whitney says she prefers a flexible schedule now because her long run can happen while the kids are at school, instead of forcing the whole family to adjust. 17. The tone stays casual, back-and-forth, and self-aware, with both women joking about last names, family resemblance, and being self-involved. 18. The format feels like a co-hosted conversation rather than a formal interview, and both speakers interrupt, riff, and trade personal examples. 19. Listeners who like postpartum running, family logistics, and honest podcast-business talk will get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners looking for a tightly edited race recap or a single-topic training guide may skip it.
