Runners of all sizes and shapes will appreciate this candid conversation with Mia Braithwaite, founder of Rear View Runners and the blog The Fat Athlete. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Molly Williams, Mia talks about:

-wholeheartedly embracing the word “fat”—and why words matter;

-helping fat runners get past “the cloud of shame + blame”;

-creative suggestions for ideal, inclusive races;

-workout wear recommendations for larger runners; and,

-a possibly surprising or controversial medical admission.

Before the guest joins around 6:52, Molly and Sarah have a catch-up session, including hatching a scheme that involves dumbbells and kettlebells.
