Summary
It started with an email. Jake Fedorowski had decided that they no longer wanted to run in races that didn’t offer a non-binary division. They would email race directors to inquire if there was an option for non-binary runners, and more often than not, the answer would be “no.” It wasn’t that race directors were unwilling; they simply had no idea what to do. It was from that simple beginning that the Guide to Non-Binary Inclusion in Running was born.

| 0:14.1 | Together, we reconnect with the reasons why we love to run and discover ways it helps |
| 0:21.6 | us become better people, whether it's the quiet moments of a morning run while the |
| 0:26.1 | rest of the world still sleeps, or befriending the strangers next to you at the |
| 0:29.8 | start line of a race. We are here to connect with others who see running as the common |
| 0:34.8 | thread that weaves our lives together. Come join me, Tina Muir, as a talk of people from |

| 0:47.4 | Hello my friends, welcome to episode 311 of the Running for Real podcast. Thank you for joining me |
| 0:54.2 | today. I'm excited to hear. Before I go any further, I just want to address the fact in |

| 1:29.4 | They can't say anything. And then as the time goes by, it slowly gets a little bit better until |
| 1:36.2 | I've left with this, which is this husky voice for the rest of the day. So my voice is off, but |
| 1:44.7 | yeah, I thought I would share why that is. Now today, let's fill it onto my guest. I am excited |
| 1:50.6 | to welcome Jake Fedorowski to our podcast. They are a non-binary runner who have recently |
| 1:58.3 | brought a lot of attention in the running world, because Jake wrote a guide called the guide to |
| 2:03.6 | non-binary inclusion in running. And this guide has been getting a lot of attention for the work |
| 2:10.2 | that Jake did by putting in hours and hours of energy time to create this guide to make it |
