”Marathon Woman encouraged us to set up a 261 running club”

My running buddy Lorrae Pratt McCullagh gave me a copy of Kathrine Switzer’s Marathon Woman in April 2015,” says Juliet Morris, 51, from Greenwich. By then we’d been running together in the woods and parks of London for about nine years, and loved the freedom and exhilaration that spending time in natural surroundings offered us. We often talked about how we wished we could encourage other women to do the same, as we rarely saw female runners, but plenty of men.
