Thank you for posting this. I have just watched it from beginning to end. Fascinating and inspiring.

I was particularly surprised by the road women have had to take to enjoy joining in on the marathon both in Olympics and in fun races. A thing we now just take for granted.

I am sure others will enjoy it too.

I've just watched this (in bed with a virus so perfect timing 🤒) I found it very emotional, a beautifully presented film. I'm always gobsmacked by just how backward things were for women relatively recently. Thanks very much for posting Bazza..

Wonderful - thank you so much for posting the link. So interesting to learn about the history, particularly about the struggle women had to be recognised. The women having a race to wash the dishes was rather shocking! I was inspired by the people running in their 70's and even 80's and wonder whether this would be possible for someone like me who only took up running aged 54!

I only started C25K 3 years ago - at age 67!!! Oh to be only 54 again!!

[skysue16 Graduate10 in reply to Bazza1234]

Wow, Bazza you are an inspiration! Here's hoping to many more years of happy running

Just finished watching the link. Really fascinating to learn what others went through! And washing dish race! Oh my! I would definitely lose that one!

Thanks for sharing!
