  • Who are some of the women in the world of running/sport that you look up to?

Kelly Roberts! I love the way she brings body positivity to running, and has folks think about their own progress rather than perfection. We can set goals that are meaningful to us, and as long as we get out there we are bad ass! Laura McGreen- I love how she’s honest about running, and how it can be hard, yet also really fulfilling! She gives a realistic view of what the sport really is, and it’s so relatable and refreshing to have someone that I know has a shared experience. read more
