Now every year 10,000 women take part in the Boston Marathon and over 300,000 women applied to race in the 2025 London Marathon. The progress extends beyond this to technology and trainers that are helping set new world records, as Charlotte Heidman from Adidas explains.

Happy International Women's Day! This episode of Sole Sisters is an ode to women runners! Alice has a lot of time to think as she bunkers down for Cyclone Alfred. She unearths the memories of two pioneer marathoners - Bobbi Gibb and Kathrine Switzer who were the first women to run the 42.2k distance in the late 60s, despite many people trying to stand in their way. Elise has done some modern-day research and found that women's marathon participation between Sydney, Melbourne and Gold Coast marathons comprised 27% on average between 2018-2023, with men making up 63% of the field. Participation was much more even in the half marathon. The pair then offer some general reflections on women's participation in marathons and the barriers that still exist that prevent or hinder women from running today. These include not having enough time to train, concerns for safety, childbirth and caring responsibilities. They also have a good chat on the role of confidence and ego in the marathon. You can read the piece Elise wrote on this “Mind the Marathon Gap” in The Blue Line last year. Alice and Elise also debrief the International Women's Day – Running Connection event organised by Love the Run last week. They rehash some of the conversation in the panel discussion about safety while running with ultra trail star Lucy Bartholomew and podiatrist/runner/coach/mum Sophie Fitt. Jess Stenson is the star of the results segment for her gutsy 2:22:56 run at Tokyo Marathon, while Izzi Batt-Doyle and Leanne Pompeani wait to line up at another Japanese race this weekend, Nagoya Marathon.

Her story is one of tenacity and passion, with delightful detours, like running with her dogs and the warmth of the running community.Lisa opens up about the transformative power of strength training and mobility exercises, practices she discovered in books like "Supple Leopard" and "Ready to Run". As we dissect the nuts and bolts of her training regimen, you'll hear about her strategic approach to nutrition and the importance of listening to her body. The conversation captures the spirit of camaraderie found in the running community, where the encouragement of fellow runners and the joy of shared milestones, like finishing a 5K with family, fuel her marathon dreams.The emotional highs and lows of marathon life come alive through Lisa's reflections on her first all-women's marathon in Savannah. Despite medical advice to quit running, her dedication and determination shine as she navigates unexpected physical challenges. The genuine support from the community, including legends like Kathrine Switzer, becomes a heartwarming backdrop to her story. As we wrap up, Lisa's aspirations for future marathons and the possibility of tackling even longer races paint a vivid picture of resilience and the joy of running with family and furry friends.

Happy Boston Marathon day! We are excited to share our interview with Kathrine Switzer, an iconic athlete, author, Emmy-award winning broadcaster and advocate for sports and social causes, Ms. Switzer was the first woman to officially register and run the Boston Marathon in 1967. She was attacked in the race by an angry official who tried to rip off her bib number (#261) and throw her out of the race because she was a woman. She finished the 26.2 mile distance anyway and went on win the 1974 New York City Marathon and to champion women in the sport globally, most notably leading the drive to make the women's marathon an official Olympic event in 1984. Now, 58% of all runners in the USA are women. To celebrate this social revolution,  and to support another on active aging, Switzer ran the Boston Marathon again, at age 70, on the 50th anniversary of her iconic run, finishing only 24 minutes slower than she did when she was 20.  This run launched her non-profit '261 Fearless' --named after that famous bib number--which empowers women globally though running. She has been honored widely for her achievements including being inducted into the USA National Women's Hall of Fame which recognized her for creating positive social change throughout her storied career.

While we get Season Nine ready for you, we turned to our friends at Sidedoor to bring you a story of running and running and running and running…in Space! We'll let them take it from here: Until the 1970s, women were barred from competing in U.S. marathons because of the belief that the "violent movements" of running would wreak havoc on their reproductive system, "thus defeating a woman's true purpose in life, i.e., the bringing forth of strong children." Through a series of steps, stumbles—and one epic tackle—running pioneers like Roberta "Bobbi" Gibb and Kathrine Switzer blazed the trail for women marathoners who followed, including Sunita Williams—the first person to run the Boston Marathon in space!

Kia ora e te whānau! This week on the podcast Eugene speaks to returning champion and one of the most impressive human beings we've had the pleasure of speaking with, the one and only Roger Robinson. Roger is an age group world champion runner, an emeritus professor at Victoria University where he was in the English Department, he is a world-leading writer on running, a delightful, engaging teller of stories and commentator, and shares his time between Wellington and New York, with his wife, the celebrated women's running pioneer, Kathrine Switzer. He has a new book out titled “Running Throughout Time: The Greatest Running Stories Ever Told”. The book is full of fascinating research and discoveries, from chapters about Atlanta, the heroic woman runner of ancient Greece, to Allison Roe, the New Zealander who won the New York Marathon. In his research, Roger arguably discovered the true roots of trail running in a ditch, and most definitely busts some myths about some of our sport's most famous stories. Roger was a guest on DCR episode 37 which you should have a listen to if you missed it, with Kathrine on DCR episode 45.

Welcome back to Time for Brunch, Today's episode features two truly remarkable women. First we get to meet a marathon pacer on a mission! As a vice principal and mother, Stephanie Dunlap thought her marathon-running days were as far-fetched as a fantasy brunch with running legend Kathrine Switzer. Yet, in a heart-to-heart conversation, she reveals her extraordinary transformation from a bystander to a 37-time marathoner, and her commitment to making the sport inclusive for all. Her story is not just about the miles she's conquered, but a testament to the resilience and empowerment that comes with each step, and the balance she strikes between the demands of motherhood, a professional career, and her passion for running.Transitioning from personal victories to shared triumphs, we explore the selfless world of pacing in marathons.  We delve into the strategies and emotional strength required to support a diverse group of runners, especially those who complete a marathon in six hours or more. It's a celebration of the unsung heroes and an affirmation that the back-of-the-pack runners are every bit as commendable for their endurance and spirit.You can stay in touch with Stephanie on Instagram here. Then, we shift from the physical to the mental, embracing the serenity that comes with mindfulness and meditation. With Angela Smith's insights, we discuss starting small, finding your rhythm, and how meditation can help you become a stronger runner and more capable leader.We cap off the episode by exploring retreat opportunities that pair the calming practice of yoga with the invigorating challenge of running, all within nurturing environments that promise growth and transformation. Join us for this inspiring journey that marries the intensity of marathons with the tranquility of meditation, and be reminded of the extraordinary within the everyday.Angela invites you to learn more about her meditation coaching by joining her for a special FREE virtual community meditation here.

Alexandra Allred made sports (and medical) history through activism and determination. When she learned that women were not allowed in bobsled, she lobbied for equal status with a relentless letter-writing campaign. It had not yet occurred to her that she had no idea how to actually bobsled. As a former fighter in martial arts, she had only cared that women were banned from a sport deemed “too dangerous” and “too fast.” When told that the women's program had no by-laws and was therefore unofficial, Allred co-authored the first U.S. women's bylaws and helped secure a sponsor. She ultimately won the U.S. Nationals in September 1994, making sports history as she was named to the first-ever U.S. women's bobsled team. When the United States Olympic Committee named her Athlete of the Year for her sport, it made international news that Allred was also pregnant. At the time, there was very little data on elite pregnant athletes who did powerlifting and plyometrics. While Allred became the “poster child” of the Case Western OB/GYN international study, Allred was squatting 375 lbs. and clocked at 20 MPH sprints into her second trimester.  The results of this study changed how to measure the safety of baby in utero for competitive athletes. Both the United States and International Olympic Committee used Allred's training data as a safety guide for pregnant athletes and she served as a fitness/nutrition expert for two decades.  Today, Allred is an adjunct professor at Tarleton State University and continues to write/research and work with those living with special needs. Her most recent book: When Women Stood - The Untold History of Females Who Changed Sports and the World. Was published in February 2023.   About the book: When Women Stood - The Untold History of Females Who Changed Sports and the World.   An unapologetically candid and illuminating history of women and their fight for equality, told through the influential world of sports. From early Amazons to modern-day athletes, women have been fighting for their rightful place in the world. The history of these female athletes—whether warriors on the battlefield or competitors in the sports arena—has often been neglected, yet it is through sports that women have changed society, gaining entry into education, travel, politics, and more. When Women Stood is an eye-opening chronicle of the amazing women who refused to accept the status quo and fought for something better for themselves and for those who would follow. Featuring exclusive insight from athletes such as Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Kathrine Switzer, Nancy Lieberman, Briana Scurry, and Nancy Hogshead-Maker, this book includes the stories of female football players, Olympic athletes, powerlifters, and soccer stars, of historians, archeologists, crusaders, and scientists. Women's sports history cannot be told without also telling the story of the fight for gender and racial equality, economics, medical biases, gay and transgender history, violence, religion, media, abuse, and activism. When Women Stood is the first to go beyond the record books and gold medal counts to truly dig into the vital role women and sports have played in instigating change in society as a whole. And it shows that, despite seemingly unsurmountable odds, the true spirit of the female athlete can never be restrained.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday at 7am UK time - Subscribe so you don't miss out.  Support the mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media.

Welcome to a special episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, where we recap and review the 127th Boston Marathon or the 2023 Boston Marathon.    This year's race marked the 10th anniversary of the tragic bombing that shook the marathon world in 2013. In honor of the anniversary, a ceremony was held on Saturday, where the families of the victims and survivors came together to lay wreaths at the memorial sites near the finish line.   The Boston Marathon is the oldest annual marathon in the world and one of the most prestigious races, known for its challenging course, enthusiastic spectators, and rich history. The marathon route is a point-to-point course, starting in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, and finishing in Boston's Copley Square.   The Boston Marathon has seen many iconic moments in its history, including Kathrine Switzer becoming the first woman to officially run the race in 1967, and the tragedy of the bombing in 2013.    To commemorate the anniversary, the docuseries "American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing" was released. The three-part series details the tragic events of the 2013 marathon and the hunt for the Tsarnaev brothers.   The professional field for the 2023 Boston Marathon included many top runners, such as Eliud Kipchoge, the world record holder. With Kipchoge in the field, the men's race was one of the fastest in Boston Marathon history.    However, 2022 winner Evans Chebet surged ahead in the Newton hills to repeat as champion. Hellen Obiri, a late entry in the elite women's field and running only her second marathon, finished strong to win the women's race.   The men's and women's wheelchair races were also fiercely competitive, with Switzerland's Marcel Hug winning his sixth men's wheelchair crown and Manuela Schar of Switzerland finishing first in the women's wheelchair race.   Overall, the 2023 Boston Marathon was a thrilling event with many memorable moments. It showcased the resilience and determination of the running community and honored the victims and survivors of the 2013 tragedy.   #BostonMarathon #MarathonRunning #Resilience #Determination #AmericanManhunt #TsarnaevBrothers #ProfessionalField #EliudKipchoge #EvansChebet #HellenObiri #MarcelHug #ManuelaSchar     Join our facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/SpeedStriders Follow us on instagram @runningpodcast Check out our website: www.runningpodcast.us   Tags of topics:#Marathon #Running #MarathonTraining #marathonnutrition #speedstriders #runningpodcast #racerecap #racereview #runner #mentaltraining #beginnerrunner #attitudeofgratitude #BostonMarathon

Until the 1970s, women were barred from competing in U.S. marathons because of the belief that the "violent movements" would wreak havoc on their reproductive system, "thus defeating a woman's true purpose in life, i.e., the bringing forth of strong children." Through a series of steps, stumbles —and one epic tackle— running pioneers like Roberta "Bobbi" Gibb and Kathrine Switzer blazed the trail for women marathoners who followed, including Sunita Williams — the first person to run the Boston Marathon IN SPACE! Guests: Sunita Williams, astronaut Jennifer Levasseur, curator, Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Peter Sagal, marathoner; host of NPR's Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me! Bobbi Gibb, first woman to run the Boston Marathon Kathrine Switzer, first women to officially run the Boston Marathon

You've seen the iconic photo - a woman jogging in the midst of a large race with a blustery man at her shoulder grabbing at her sweatshirt and runner identification tag. But what is the story behind this photo? And who is this legendary Broad we see? This Broad is none other than KATHRINE SWITZER - the first woman to officially* run the Boston Marathon! Hear the full story behind this legendary photo and one of the most pivotal moments in the fight for women's rights in the United States. * We say officially, because Roberta Gibb ran it the previous year but she was not registered officially for the race, she just hopped in and ran alongside the guys. Kathrine actually registered for the race and completed it, much to the chagrin of the race officials, who didn't know she was a woman when she registered.   — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

La ONU señala que la desigualdad es uno de los mayores desafíos de nuestra era. Desigualdades que golpean con fuerza a los más vulnerables: niños y jóvenes. La emprendedora social Bisila Bokoko, acompañada de un grupo de jóvenes, asume el desafío de responder por qué existen tantas desigualdades, de dónde provienen y cómo podemos lograr una sociedad mucho más justa e igualitaria.   Con las intervenciones del historiador y escritor Yuval Noah Harari; del filósofo Michael Sandel; de la maratoniana Kathrine Switzer; del economista Oded Galor; y de la filósofa y pensadora Adela Cortina.

She would later go on to win the New York City Marathon, and to become a crusader for women's sports.

"It was an astonishing thing. It was one of those defining moments in your life. Everything else was changed from that moment." It was an honor to be invited to the 20th running of the Akron Marathon, Half Marathon, & Team Relay in Ohio this past weekend, and to get to host a live show at the pre-race expo with running legends Meb Keflezighi (Olympic silver medalist and winner of both the New York City Marathon and the Boston Marathon), Kathrine Switzer (the first woman to officially run and finish the Boston Marathon), and Bill Rodgers (four-time winner of both the Boston and New York City Marathons). One quick note: Unfortunately, the first few minutes of the show are missing from the audio recording, so what you'll get here picks up with Meb a few minutes in, answering my question, "Why did you run your first marathon?" The audio skips a few times throughout the recording, but ultimately, you'll still get to hear some inspiring and powerful stuff from Meb, Kathrine, and Bill.

Meb Keflezighi, the first American to win the boston Marathon after the tragic bombing, says, “In a marathon, you don't break early. You know, you try to hold on, but sometimes you have to listen to your instincts and go for it. And I went for it. I was the fifteenth, or so, fastest guy in the race, but you know, you've got to do it that day, and I was so proud to be able to pull the victory for the United States.” In this episode, you'll learn: - How Meb's family embodying the American dream led to his glorious victory - Jeffrey's experience being in the Marathon when the bomb went off and how he managed his situation - The lead up, the incident, and the after effects of Kathrine Switzer's historical run where she was attacked by an official If you want to watch the full episodes: Meb Keflezighi tells Spartan why he wins Marathons - https://youtu.be/SDUU865MV4s Clinical Social Worker Shares Techniques to Overcome Any Obstacle ep.068 - https://youtu.be/1Jo1oEHVttY Kathrine Switzer Changed Marathons Forever, with host Joe De Sena - https://youtu.be/p7cjri0IX80   SPONSOR This episode of Spartan Up is brought to you by the EXOGEN ultrasound bone healing system.
