“It’s no longer enough to be allowed into the sports world. It’s time to take part in ruling it.”
It’s been an inspiring project to work on. Speaking with women distance runners from across so many decades has me realizing how much the sport has changed, and will continue to change. It makes me wonder where we’ll be in another 50 years and has me evaluating where we are in this moment.
Talking with the women, it stood out that opportunities, representation, support, and media coverage were key factors to the advancement of the sport. A lot of that’s still true today, even after such structures have been built from the ground up by these ladies.Women distance runners in the 1960s and ’70s had to expend a lot of time and energy creating the race, seeking training information and coaches, or fighting for their spot in a men’s race.
Women’s gear didn’t exist, women’s teams didn’t exist, and role models for women in sport were sparse. But the primordially programmed drive to run and all the physical and mental benefits that come from it were still there in half the population, buried like a secret that only some women were brave enough to acknowledge.
