Ep 4 - Bridges That We've Travelled
06/09/19 • 48 min
What do you do when pounding the same streets becomes a little... boring...? Well The Start Line Girls decided to combine running with one of their other passions... travel!
Let’s face it... running can sometimes get a little... stale. Once you finally get into the running habit, you plot out your favourite routes and then press the run, eat, sleep, repeat button. You know your challenging routes. You know your quick routes. You know the route to do when you don’t really feel like running. Then one day you get up to run and you realise that you’re not feeling particularly inspired... You’ve seen it and done it all before... and you’re wearing the running t-shirt as you do it! Well, at least, that’s what happened to us... Until one day we realised that a great way to find inspiration in our runs was to challenge ourselves somewhere completely unfamiliar... so we decided to take our little running habit on the road... and on this podcast we take you with us on a little journey through our running travel adventures!

Ep 5 - But My Hair… (Yes, Black Girls DO Run!)
So you think black girls don’t run? Think again!
There’s a common misconception that black girls don’t like running... maybe because we feel like we don’t have the physique for any kind of distance running... maybe because we don’t see ourselves when we’re looking at the increasing number of runners pounding the streets... maybe because we feel like we’re going to “sweat out” our hair from the exercise... The Start Line Girls invite special guest Matilda Egere-Cooper - founder of Fly Girl Collective - to talk about why she decided to start a movement to change this narrative, how she conquered the London Marathon as a brand ambassador for New Balance and how, by starting with a two week challenge, you can kick-start your running journey to healthier lifestyle!
To find out more about Fly Girl Collective, you can follow them on Instagram by searching for @flygirlcollective, or check out the website at flygirlcollective.co (yes - it really is just “.co”!).
