Enjoyable listen
Even though I grew up during this time I never knew the history. I found it interesting and enlightening.
I remember my wife’s grandmother telling me during a visit in the early 80’s that I needed to put my foot down and stop my wife from running. That running was bad for girls, that it would shake her insides up and they could fall out. I now have an idea where that belief came from. Ironically, before her visit we had to also assure her that the Indians weren’t on the warpath, that our roads were paved and that we had power and TVs.
As a man I didn’t really appreciate the struggle women had to just get out and run. Clothes and shoes weren’t available was eye opening.
I enjoyed this podcast.

Should be required for every young athlete
Some stories are inspiring but feel distant. These stories and athletes (the women, of course, but also the men who supported and protected them) feel like people I could relate to. They are gutsy and talented. They are humble and driven. And, I am so grateful for their effort, athleticism and bravery. What a great listen!

Exhilarating, Inspiring
Wonderful weaving of the struggle to establish the rightful place of women in competitive running with Joan Benoit Samuelson’s path to winning the inaugural Womens Olympic Marathon. Loved hearing the voices of so many of the women runners who brought down the barriers to their full participation in the sport. They made this history and their involvement in this series makes it an authentic record. Joan is an inspirational athlete on all levels.

Fantastic!
I thought that this was a compelling story. I am a runner so i was familiar with it but i recommend it to non-runners as well. Joan's story is one of courage and perseverance that will inspire everyone.

So Inspiring
I can’t believe at 43 years old, a female runner since I was a child, I have completely taken for granted my opportunities to compete. I’m so thankful for the stories in this podcast and for the brave ladies who have made a way for so many! I really had no idea how recently the battle was real.

Long Distance Runner
I absolutely love this series. My husband and I binge listened to it at dinner and continued until bedtime. We were both inspired by Joan's dogged persistence, courage, and focus. And we both admire her kindness and humility which came through her words and voice. We highly recommend this amazing and true story.

Inspirational Story
If you were alive in 1984, as I was, you know how the story ends. Nevertheless I did not know all the details for women’s competition in the Olympics that preceded. This story exposes that Joan Benoit and particularly many activists, of course, all women, did more than run marathons to change minds and open the field up for all humans. This is compelling history, and well told.

Gripping and Inspiring
I thought I knew all about the history of women’s running, but turns out I barely scratched the surface. I love this series so much and want every woman (and man tbh) runner I know to listen!
