Last but not least: Thank you for reading and tweeting
I love @UltraRunnerPod, it keeps me motivated on plenty of long runs and deals fairly with many issues in the sport. But, I was disappointed with Eric's response (https://t.co/xLpfyW2hXA) to the recent @outsidemagazine article by @runningcase on female participation.
