Summary

Any women runners looking to feel liberated will enjoy this episode. Hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams get personal with four gals, talking about what it’s like to run in simply a sports bra—no tank or tee over it. The conversation takes some unexpected turns. A few revealing confessions are: -one runner visualizes herself as Kara Goucher to summon speed + courage; -the vanity + bitterness fueling one grandmother runner to bare her bod; -the runner’s high one pregnant runner feels when a breeze hits her midsection; and, -the self-imposed intimidation one breast cancer survivor feels on bra-squad runs. In the intro chitchat, the BRFs lament the Portland weather-inferno. The first guest joins at 11:38. This episode originally debuted on July 2, 2021.
