“Life is for participating, not for spectating.” Kathrine Switzer 

One: Run Like a Girl

Over the last fifty years, women have made extraordinary advances in athletics. More women than ever are playing sports and staying active longer.

I went to a book event this past week with Christine Yu, she was promoting her book, Up to Speed. The Groundbreaking science of women athletes, the book is a guide for athletic women of all ages.

“Up to Speed is a roadmap and toolbox for athletes of all ages. Every coach should read it and discuss it with their athletes. I wish I had been able to read this book while I was competing.” —Kara Goucher, Olympic long-distance runner and author of The Longest Race

She was interviewed by Mary Cain. Mary also had a record-breaking professional running career that included becoming the 2014 World Junior Champion in the 3000m and a 2013 World Championships finalist in the 1500m.
