In 1967, Kathrine Switzer (@kathrineswitzer) became the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon. 🏃‍♀️🔥⁠ ⁠ This video from @roseinhistory shows there were men who tried to physically pull her off the course. ⁠ ⁠ She kept running anyway.⁠ ⁠ That single race helped change the future of women in sport — and 5 years later, women were finally allowed to run Boston officially.⁠ ⁠ Then 50 years later, Kathrine ran it again with that same bib alongside thousands of other women. 👏⁠ ⁠ Sometime

Totally inspired by the Women’s Olympic Marathon in Paris, I wore my France shirt today for my workout, my long run. Getting ready for @EveryWomansMarathon, and it was great, believe me! And now it’s going to get greater because I’m going to tap my favorite rehydration which is chocolate milk which is also going to refuel me fabulously. See you there.

Hi everyone! This me, Kathrine, Team Captain for @everywomansmarathon. We’re a week away. I’m so excited! I hope you are all taking care of yourself. I am wearing my most garrish clothing on my runs now because I want to be highly visible in this autumn weather, and up north where I live, it’s also deer hunting season. So make sure people see you. Take care of yourself. Be safe. And I’m going to see you in Scottsdale later this week. Good luck! 💜💜💜 @261Fearless #261Fearless #everywomansmarath

Hey, remember when I told you all that last year at @EveryWomansMarathon 42% were running their first marathon? What I only found out recently is that 30% of the women in the race were OVER 50! I’m getting some media calls on my opinion of this, I mean, like I’m some kind of expert on OLDER WOMEN’s running! I’m only 78 for heaven’s sakes! These over 50 women are finally saying: It’s Never Too Late to get fit, never too late to take on a challenge. The kids are out of the house, I’ve got my work

That’s just 57 years ago 🤯 Vide credit • @roseinhistory Kathrine Switzer made history in 1967 when she became the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon. At that time women were widely believed to be “too weak” for long distance running, and no woman had ever run the race with an official bib. Switzer registered using the name “K V Switzer,” so officials did not realize she was a woman until the race had already started. Around mile four the race manager Jock Semple spotted her and c

After losing a lot of fitness this summer as I was on a 2-month working sabbatical to archive my papers for the Syracuse University Library, I’ve decided to concentrate on regaining a little speed over 5K and have brought my time down in a month from 32:09 to 31:13 to last weekend 30:09 (yea)!
