Running may seem like it should be the same for everyone, but when it comes to running for women, there are a whole different set of considerations. On the podcast this week, we talk to the former Editor-In-Chief of Triathlete Magazine (and the current publisher of the Triathlonish newsletter) Kelly O'Mara about the best running gear for women.

0:00.0 | What's up Motivators? Today's podcast guest is Kelly Omera, the founder and editor of Triathlon-ish, which is a new newsletter that has come out in the last year or so. |
0:12.2 | Kelly is the former editor-in-chief of Triathlete magazine and has been in the endurance world for long long, long-long time. |
0:23.7 | Professional triathlete, like I said said editor-in-chief has been writing and putting out thought pieces in the endurance world |
0:27.8 | for ages ages ages and we just put out a blog post with her on my motive.com |
0:36.1 | that is the complete guide for beginner runners who are females. |
0:41.4 | And I learned a lot in TK. |
0:44.2 | Well, there's a lot of things that are unique to us gals when we are doing exercise and |

1:03.2 | into specifics about heart rate straps and sports bras and shorts that don't chafe and the kinds |

1:37.7 | If you are male, hey, this might not interest you at all. But if you do, or it might be interesting. Yeah, if you do just like consuming information about what is going on for people |
1:49.6 | out there in the endurance world, this will be interesting because there were things here that |
1:53.0 | I'm like 12, 13 years into endurance sports. |
1:56.5 | And as we were writing the article with Kelly, well, she wrote it. |
