E58: From Heart Health to Women Who Run the World
from Behind the Bib · host Lisa Watkins
February may be Heart Health Month, but we’re not leaving that conversation behind when the calendar flips. In this episode, I sit down with local clinical pharmacist and runner, Mina Willis, to talk about women’s heart health—what we miss, what we downplay, and why “I’m fine” isn’t a medical diagnosis. We connect the dots between February’s focus on heart health and March’s celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month—because taking care of our hearts is part of honoring women, too.We talk symptoms that look different in women, prevention that actually fits real life, and why your miles—yes, even the slow ones—matter more than you think.I also recap the Molten Mohawk 9-er (because apparently I enjoy a little chaos with my cardio), and I offer a tribute to Jeff Galloway—the man who made space at the starting line for so many of us. This one is about strong hearts, strong women, and the kind of running community that makes room for all of us.UPCOMING LOCAL RACESFleet Feet Race Calendar - use code BEHINDTHEBIB for 20% off your race entry!!!
