We hear from the passionate duo about safety whilst out running, about hormones and female admin, and about how with their knowledge, connections and experience now is the time to create the opportunity to learn, interact and get involved in the conversation.

We hear from Karen about how she's raising awareness of gender balance in races particularly ultras and endurance events. Whilst Debbie tells us about facing the time challenges of being a busy parent with the juggle of training, work and other commitments can be a big obstacle to overcome.
