On this Outdoor Explorer we're joined by Alison Mariella Dèsir, author of "Running While Black: Finding Freedom in a Sport That Wasn't Built for Us." Her book unveils the running movement as being centered around and represented by White people, not only ignoring the foundational work and performances of Black distance runners but also not acknowledging that running while Black can be dangerous.HOST: Lisa KellerGUEST: Alison Mariella DèsirLINKS:Alison Mariella Dèsir websiteHarlem RunRun4AllWomenThe Running Industry Diversity CoalitionRun Alaska Trails POC Trail Running and Adventure RetreatSkinny Raven Book SigningOut & Back with Alison Mariella Dèsir]]>

Alison Mariella Désir is an activist, runner, organizer, and author of the new book, Running While Black. After hearing her speak at the Feisty Women's Performance Summit in 2022 (before the book was published) we wanted to catch up with Alison, hear how her book has been received, and learn more about her many cultural insights and observations about the Black experience in the running space.Alison shares how the past year has gone, post book launch, and the specific parts of the book that received pushback and critique. Further, she shares the ways the white culture influences how she presents herself in the world - and how she has worked to heal this. Finally, Alison gets honest about her postpartum depression - as well as the new program she's designed to combine therapy and movement.@alisonmdesirhttps://alisonmdesir.com/ Founder of @HarlemRun, @Run4AllWomen, Running Industry Diversity CoalitionAuthor of Running While Black, purchase hereNutritionist mentioned: @black.nutritionistJoin us on March 7th at 4pm PST for our International Women's Day Panel Discussion www.womensperformance.com/iwdDownload the Feisty Female Athlete Guide:https://www.womensperformance.com/ Join the waitlist for Fueled: A comprehensive nutrition course for active women by Feisty Media | Coming April 2023:https://www.womensperformance.com/fueled-waitlist Learn More about the Feisty Kona Tri-Cation:https://www.feistytriathlon.com/trication Follow us on Instagram:@feisty_womens_performance Feisty Media Website:https://livefeisty.com/ Support our Partners:InsideTracker: Get 20% off at insidetracker.com/feisty Previnex: Get 15% off your first order with code PERFORMANCE at https://www.previnex.com VJ Shoes: Use code FEISTYVJ for $20 off a pair of shoes at https://vjshoesusa.com/pages/feisty

"The more confident and empowered we feel, the more likely we are to speak up and use our voice."This week, I had the opportunity to speak with activist Keshia Roberson. Keshia is a community advisor for Run4AllWomen (an organization founded by activist Alison Desir; Run4AllWomen ambassadors Mikka Kei Macdonald and Elyse Braner were on earlier episodes of this podcast). Keshia has been involved with the organization since its beginning and participated in a leg of the organization's first journey from Harlem to DC!If Run4AllWomen sounds familiar, it may because you've been hearing all about their Women Run The Vote 3.0 Virtual Relay supporting Black Voters Matter.  This iteration of the relay runs on the virtual map from Cuba, Alabama to Phenix City, Alabama. This event uses the Racery app, which allows participants to record intentional movement (think running, walking, biking, cooking, housework...) and learn historical facts from the Alabama Black Belt.  You still have a few days to sign up, so grab a group of 6 friends and register while listening to the podcast.Outside of discussing Keshia's involvement in Run4AllWomen, we also discussed how Keshia began combining movement with activism; her founding of Major Knox Adventures, an outdoor series that promotes radical joy of cycling and other outdoor activities while continuing to celebrate the legacies of Major Taylor, Kittie Knox, and countless lesser-known Black outdoor enthusiasts; and finding one's place in the activism space.Keshia is a wealth of knowledge and someone who takes action to make her community a better, more inclusive space. I really enjoyed getting to learn from her, and I hope you do as well.As always, thanks to Dan Hoffman for the soundtrack you hear.

Bryan and Peter do the unthinkable and record the open to the show while driving. Peter reveals some news about his ultra race plans, while Bryan admits it’s hard to do the show while operating a moving vehicle. Then they arrive at Charles River Running in Norwood to interview store owner and runner Charlotte Walsh. Charlotte talks about her history as a runner, why she decided to open a running store, and what led to her becoming an ambassador for Run 4 All Women.  For more information on the August 13th 50-mile relay run from Gloucester to Boston, or to donate to the fundraiser to benefit the Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts, please visit: https://www.crowdrise.com/r4awma.  https://www.run4allwomen.com/#about

After the update on this week’s Clyde Army Countdown, Bryan plays nutritionist to help further Peter’s marathon training. Then, they get past their technical difficulties and have an in-depth conversation with runner Alison Desir, creator of the free fitness group Harlem Run. They talk about her (and her relay team’s) historic 240-mile run from New York City to Washington D.C. that raised over $100K for Planned Parenthood, as well as how Alison became a runner and an activist and how she hopes to continue the work that her Run 4 All Women movement began.
