Running is quiet activism, actually | Deinfluencing you from RunTok

from From The Diving Board · host Charli Chats

Allow me to try & deinfluence you from believing everything you see on RunTok, and instead learn about the women trailblazers who were only allowed to officially start running in marathons in 1972 (!! you read that right...) I've started training for a half marathon and my TikTok feed has sent me into the depths of hell (runner's waist, runner's face & SkinnyTok)... so let's talk about it. We're deep diving the most insane running event I've ever heard of (Barkley 100), running as an everyday act of feminism, and whether we can ever separate ourselves completely from the pressures of diet culture. Let's dive in!  Watch the Barkley Marathon Documentary work with me: [email protected] Follow the podcast on Instagram Charli's Instagram, TikTok & Substack Visuals & sources on YouTubeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
