Description

As we wrap up Women's History Month, this week on the Femmi Pod we are joined by the incredible Kathrine Switzer, who made history as one of the first women to run the Boston marathon in 1967. At that time women running marathons was unheard of. While running the marathon the race director approached Kathrine with anger and attempted to pull her off the course. Kathrine not only went on to complete the Boston marathon in 1967, she went on to complete 40 marathons since, including winning the NYC marathon in 1974. Kathrine has been a huge advocate for women's running ever since, founding ‘261 Fearless’ a global womens running network - empowering women to run, something we are obviously also so passionate about at Femmi.Follow Kathrine on IGFind out more about 261 FearlessFollow FemmiDownload the Femmi app

Welcome to the Femmi Pod. Femmi is a female based coaching company. We are focused on empowering females to embrace their physiology. At Femmi we are building a community of women who can support, inspire and educate one another on how to move with our bodies and not against them. Founders, Lydia O’Donnell and Esther Keown, have come together to kick start more conversations about females, how we can make the most of our bodies, our hormones and ourselves.
