#WomensSport - better coverage needed

[Ellie Greenwood @eLLiejG]

For an article I’m writing … What are your favourite ultra things/ memories of circa 2010. I’m thinking Udos oil, Pearl Izumi, top racers being Nikki and Kami. Other fond/ feared memories?

@DrAlexJack1 What a wonderful archive.

@GebMo1 Cool!

Only 23% of the journalists covering the #Paris2024 Games were women. An increase over the Tokyo Games but still a minority.

[Femmes Journalistes de Sport @DesJournalistes]

📢 Les chiffres sur la parité dans les médias pendant #Paris2024 sont tombés !
📈 Il y a du progrès par rapport à Tokyo 2020, mais les femmes étaient encore nettement moins nombreuses que les hommes à couvrir ces Jeux
🎯 Changer la donne ensemble pour Los Angeles 2028 💪

@willgoose @Michael1979 Very kind of you to suggest it 😊

[Katie Holmes @RunYoung50]

Love this...

Why do we only congratulate people for achieving big stuff like getting a new job, graduating, having a baby etc? We need to congratulate people who achieve smaller stuff too

My book on the history, science & stories of women in ultrarunning is out Thursday with @Octopus_Books! Alongside my attempts to run 100 miles, there are interviews with many incredible #ultrarunning #women & experts in the psychology & physiology of ultra endurance #ThePathWeRun

[Katie Holmes @RunYoung50]

@choppertune @ArtOfYrSuccess Yes it's a great event to be part of.

[Katie Holmes @RunYoung50]

I'm using my @ArtOfYrSuccess to plan and review my training for the Isle of Wight Marathon. Just 3 weeks to go!

You don't have to journal every day & the Art Of Your Success diaries are undated, so they are ready whenever you are 😅

@choppertune @ArtOfYrSuccess Thank you. Yes my training is going well. How about yours?
