In reply to Ilisa. Is it possible that the guy sprinting to the finish has nothing to do with you and he was just trying to finish his race strong? Many of us sprint to the finish and because we are...

While I applaud the general message in this article, I have to point out a sentence that exposes the very bias that the article is attempting to call out. “These are our daughters, sisters, wives,...

I ride with and run with my wife all the time. Trail runs, mountain, road, gravel and fat on bikes. She tells me all the time that when she watches me pass someone, she knows if it is a guy, as she...
