Ep 6 - Mans Don't Run
08/04/19 • 25 min
This may come as a shock to some of our listeners - but there is a sibling within The Start Line circle who DOES NOT RUN!!!!
The Start Line Girls welcome their brother Clint - resident in Mississauga, Canada, but raised in London - who puts the case forward for the benefits of golf, slow walking and literally anything else but running. Clint (truly!!!) challenges his sisters on his reasons for not running; why he thinks black men don't run; and why walking a golf course slowly whilst intermittently lifting a glass of beer is considered much more satisfying to him, and way more important, than running!
Join us in this very light hearted episode as we discount every argument that our darling older brother puts up against going for a run!!!

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”!).

Ep 7 - It Just Gets Better With Time
For most of us, as we get older it gets harder and harder to keep fit. Gravity is against you, the pounds get harder and harder to shift, your knees start giving in, you start noticing aches that you didn’t feel before in your twenties or early thirties... But for a few of us, fitness is something that comes later in life. In our twenties some of us are too busy out enjoying life to think about getting to the gym or hitting the streets to run. At least two of TSL girls (Jules & Petrina) did not start running until they were near or in their 30s, and have found that they are actually getting better as they get older!
An article in The Guardian last April revealed that middle-aged runners are consistently clocking consistently average faster marathon times than runners in their 20s - so is there something in the saying that you “just get better with time”?
In our new podcast episode, we have the ultimate #fitoverforty guru, Donna McConnell. Donna is an incredible inspiration and has battled against her own mind and often exhausted body to get and maintain her fitness. Especially now that she is in the rich season of her life. We find out about Donna’s struggles, what motivated her to become a triathlete, a Cambridge Weight Plan consultant, what gets her out of bed in the morning and how she is motivated to keep moving when there are not many projections of black women of her age doing what she does! Even more importantly how she juggles all this with being a mother, journalist and blogger!!!
