Keeping-Track

 We examine representation of Gender and Race on the covers of three running magazines as a sample of the North American Running media. We speak to Dr. Heather Hillsburg and Dr. Francine Darroch on their findings (14.8 percent of Runners World print Covers feature Black Indigenous and People Of Color- or BIPOC, 14.75 % of Canadian Running covers feature BIPOC,  and for Women’s Running covers we saw an average 31% BIPOC over 10 years, but noticed a recent average of 40% after a sustained increase from 2013 onward), why representation matters and how these trends contribute to racism in the running world and why we need to show and hear the stories of more BIPOC and elevate more BIPOC voices in this space.(see shownotes  for full recap)Catch up:0-5: Alysia Ro and Molly catch up on livesAlysia’s book is launching more officially Feel Good Fitness (link)Molly’s back in Rhode IslandRo’s still gestatingLink to tank tops (currently tees only but hope to arrive soon) and &motherGuest intros: Dr. Francine Darroch,
