Listened to the audiobook. I love sports memoirs, especially focused on running. As such was incredibly excited to try this book out.

Lauren Fleshman has had an amazing career and accomplished a lot!! She’s very inspiring in that way. That said, I don’t find this book to be inspiring at all. She holds a lot of anger toward many involved in women’s running. Every success she recounted felt wrapped in disappointment and anger.

I think the author spoke about many positive changes that could be made in women’s running. That said, I think a persuasive essay might have been the better format.

I would not recommend this book if you’re looking for a happy running memoir. This not that. However if you are looking for a detailed critique of the sport told through one women’s lens, this could be interesting.
