And Kathrine talks about the re-issue of her memoir, Marathon Woman, this month-and reveals there’s an upcoming audio version of this fantastic book. Kathrine talks about helping other women “find their fearless” through the global community she founded, 261 Fearless. Kathrine and the mother runners talk about the “inherent stressfulness” of big marathons, and she reveals what her 26.2 training looks like now, at age 70, versus as a college student half a century ago. She talks about how that captured-on-film incident-which she describes as “a radicalizing-and an inspiring-experience” -captured the public imagination. In this interview recorded in March, Kathrine recounts nearly being pulled off the race course in 1967, when the race director realized she was a female. On Monday, April 17, Kathrine will once again run the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton, MA, to Boston to commemorate the 50 th anniversary of her historic feat. Sarah and co-host Dimity delightedly welcome back to the pod Kathrine Switzer, the pioneer in women’s running best known as the first woman to run the Boston Marathon as a registered runner with a bib number.
