Sarah and Amanda have a conversation with Ashlee Lawson Green, co-founder of RUNGRL, a digital media and event platform for Black women focused on running and wellness. A new, first-time mom and a certified running coach, Ashlee shares:

-a positive-yet-realistic perspective about adjusting to a post-partum body;

-the mission and goals of RUNGRL, including inspiration, information,

and celebration;

-the importance of creating space for various runners;

-insight on increasing inclusivity and decreasing “othering” in the running community; and,

-ways to overcome race day or long run anxiety.

In the intro, Sarah details how a local Portland mother runner nudged her out the door on a recent snowy Saturday. Ashlee (with her 4-month-baby on her lap!) joins in at 14:17.
