With a sport like running, you’d think many female runners would be more concerned with performance rather than perception. However, there is an age-old myth that to be a ‘real’ runner you have to look a certain way. This simply isn’t true. Although a large handful of elite runners who do a lot of high mileage in their training look thin, you don’t have to look that way to be a runner, a good runner or a real runner.
