#97 - The LACK OF RESEARCH in FEMALE Endurance Sports is OBSCENE W/ Ally Head

February 18, 2025 • Ben Sheppard

On this episode of RunThrough presents Gone Running, Ben Sheppard catches up with the amazing Ally Head for an eye-opening conversation.

Ally, the senior health and sustainability editor at Marie Claire, shares her journey as a runner and health advocate. She discusses how running has transformed her life, the importance of community in fitness, and the role of coaching in achieving personal goals.

Ally reinforces the need for consistency in health practices and the significance of advocating for women in sports, particularly given the lack of research and representation.

The conversation also touches on the joy of movement, the impact of injury, and the importance of encouraging young girls to engage in sports for their mental and physical well-being.
