More Trail Tangents with Lisa Sweetman Wanna Help Me FKT?

Took a break from recording last week, and now I am feeling more energized in my training! You'll hear me putting my "athlete in training" cap on and learning English! Haha! Here is part 2 of my conversation with Lisa Sweetman where we discuss more parts of our personal running journeys and she leaves me with some food for thought (hearty, but not as "yummy" as her Earth+City food, I'm sure...) about diversity in trail running...



After doing some (admittedly not super in-depth, but eye opening) research, I found these resources about how certain people/groups are working to improve diversity in the trail running community. Check them out!
