Strong Runner Chick Radio
SRC Radio by Strong Runner Chicks aims to educate, empower, and connect women-identifying distance runners. We believe that there is no one-size fits all approach to running and that everyone has a story to tell. Through our podcast, we strive to further this mission through conversations with runners of all backgrounds, as well as leading experts on a variety of topics and coaches in the field.
