I'm thrilled to have Lauren Fleshman on the pod today (wooo!) Lauren Fleshman is one of the most highly decorated professional runners in the US. She is also an award winning author. Her book, Good For A Girl, was a life changer for me. I had the supreme joy of joining one of her WILDER retreats this fall in the French Alps (!) where she led us as we ran, wrote and surpassed ourselves every day. Today we talk about running, women in sports and the multitude of pressures that come with athletics. I learned so much just in this convo! I hope you do too.

We also referenced Christine Yu, her book Up To Speed, and my conversation with Christine on THIS EPISODE . It's a great conversation on the inequality of sports equipment with a notable story nude cycling in order to best understand saddle needs!
