Quotes:
- “For so long the conversation was ‘more, more, train harder, get leaner!’ I think we still need to work on changing that message, particularly in the running community--focusing on gaining strength instead of losing weight, and getting that consistent, long, healthy career.”
- “What I come back to a lot is asking myself, ‘how do you feel? Do you feel strong and powerful? Then can we try to focus more on that than on appearance and what we look like?’”
