   Redefining runners

   Key Takeaways: - Representation shapes who we see as “belonging” in the running world. Latinas and other BIPOC runners deserve to be seen. - The running community is far more diverse than the media portrays. - Media outlets must start featuring diverse bodies and stories to better reflect the changing face of running. Quote of the Episode: “When you lace up and hit the pavement, remember—you are what a runner looks like.”
