Dispatches: This Is What a Runner Looks Like

When Mirna Valerio first began running ultramarathons, she immediately got a lot of attention, but not for the reasons you might expect. Because of her body size, she didn’t fit the accepted image of a long-distance runner. Her story isn’t about an average athlete trying to get better.

This episode kicks off the second season of the Athletes Unfiltered podcast from Strava.
