Aloin lukea tätä odottaen kivaa motivaatiokirjaa juoksemiseen liittyen mut sainkin yhden parhaista muistelmista, jota oon lukenut. Tässä yhdisty erinomaisesti kirjoittajan omat kokemukset sekä tutkimustieto naisten/tyttöjen urheilukokemuksista ja ylipäänsä seksismin/rasismin vaikutuksista. En oo pitkään aikaan ollut maailmalle niin vihainen kuin tätä lukiessa, mutta jotenkin tää onnistui vielä kääntämään lopun todella inspiroivaksi. Luin tän yhdeltä istumalta ja suosittelisin tätä ihan kaikille, kiinnosti juokseminen tai ei.

This book truly shines the light on female athletes and the need to consider health alongside performance. Lauren did a great job sharing her struggles from high school through college and beyond. I believe female athletes, particularly professionals who are constantly in the spotlight with high performance pressure, have come a long way in advocating for themselves since this book has been written; however, the content in the book is still strongly relevant and eye-opening. I can't quite pinpoint why I can't give this book a 5/5. Every female runner and their coach (regardless of level) should give this a read!

If you struggle with body image or eating, proceed with caution as this book is really focused on those struggles. While everything in here is accurate and factual, I found this incredibly hard to stomach at times and struggled through this read. The end was much more inspiring, but while this was an important book, it was not the inspiration story I hoped for. Just feel sad.
