Sarah and Katie enjoy candid conversations with three Latina runners in this second installment of our series Run in My Shoes, in which we aim to amplify the voices of a wider array of runners. The guests detail:
-overcoming guilt imposed by their extended families at taking time to run;
-the empowering effects of running;
-the viewpoint of running held by many in the Hispanic community;
-concerning incidents precipitated by racial profiling; and,
-ways to welcome more Latinas into the world of running.
In the intro chitchat, Katie shares an embarrassing dog anecdote and Sarah kvetches about earlier wake-ups. The primer invitada joins at 15:00.

Good morning being a Hispanic female runner it really spoke to me. I wanted to add that as a trail runner, it is even more rare to see others that look like me! I can relate to all of the issues that they brought up, specially with family. My family still can’t figure out why I run and when I started running on trails it brought up even more concerns in regards to safety. I wish we could get more Hispanics on the trails! Thank you for this amazing podcast and episode
