Fueled by her experiences as an elite runner and advocate for women in sports, Lauren Fleshman shares her inspiring journey and calls for reform in a sports landscape that often fails young female athletes. As one of the most decorated collegiate athletes and a national champion, Fleshman became a prominent figure in women's running for Nike before co-founding the feminist running brand Oiselle and coaching elite young female runners. Throughout her career, she has witnessed how sports systems, designed primarily by men, often hinder rather than help young women and girls. Alarmingly, many girls drop out of sports after puberty, while female collegiate athletes frequently face injuries, eating disorders, and mental health challenges due to performance pressures. Part memoir and part manifesto, Fleshman's narrative explores her love for running, the limits she faced, and her fight for a better future for female athletes. The days of women feeling fortunate just to participate are over; women are now awakening to the reality of competing in a world that wasn't built for them.

With heart and passion, this work serves as a joyful tribute to running, a raw narrative of personal growth, and a crucial
