YOU GO GIRL

You Go Girl begins in the late 1970s, and is the story of my successful beginnings as a runner. Empowered by the US women’s running boom, and full of Olympic aspirations, I share my story of youth success, and then college failure, as I confront the abuses of programs not ready to work with young women. Accompanying me on this journey are legends of female distance running whose stories enrich the social context of where US women’s distance running was then and where it is now, and how new feminist approaches to coaching females are reviving a sport.
