Welcome to Women's Running Stories
We are so pleased to have you with us. There’s a lot here: more than 100 podcast episodes. So here is a fun breakdown of some of our popular episodes and topics. Take a look around.
Podcast Topics
There are several recurring topics and events that are central to many of the running stories women share on WRS. Several episodes feature South Africa’s grand gem, the 90-km/56-mile Comrades Marathon. The marathon majors—Boston, New York City, Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago, London, and new for 2025, Sydney—are also very popular focal points for many stories. And in fact, a few years ago we created the series Roads to Boston, which traces the journeys of 9 women from the start of their running pursuits through to the finish line of the 2021 Boston Marathon. WRS also follows the USATF Road Circuit series of races through race reports: each of these episodes features a top-10 finisher telling how the race went down from her perspective. Get an inside look at racing and learn more about the US professional field through these exciting episodes. Host Cherie is also sharing her quest to break 20 minutes in the 5k in her 50s, in real time, in the Over 50, Sub 20, 5k Project. All these topics, and more, are in our episodes. Take a look through the some of the primary topics covered in our episodes to guide your listening choices.
