If you have an athletic teen girl or young woman in your life, this book should be your next gift to her. Girls Running is a book by Melody Fairchild (once the fastest girl in the world for her age) and Elizabeth Carey (writer and running coach), that aims to answer questions that girls and young women have about running, and how puberty and female hormones can affect performance.
The book consists of 11 chapters starting with topics related to the physiology of running, and the changes that happen to women during puberty. The book goes on to discuss what constitutes a winning mindset, tips for "racing fierce", the importance of fuelling and problems with food and body issues, team building, and running gear.
In this episode we had the pleasure of interviewing the authors about their book. The official release date is August 11th, 2020. If you are interested in getting a copy of this book, it is available for pre-order on the Velo Press website: https://www.velopress.com/books/girls-running/
