Episode Details

Running seems like it would be good for the body, but how much running does a person actually need to do in order to achieve health benefits? The distance may be less than you think. Dr. Carl "Chip" Lavie breaks down the research for co-host Jeff Tiberii.

Then, running is often viewed as a predominantly white sport, but that image may be shifting. In recent years, many running groups have formed across the country, and here in the Triangle, to provide safe and welcoming running spaces for communities of color. Co-host Jeff Tiberii is joined by Jasmine Santiago-Tracey, host of Brown Girl Running Podcast and member of Latinos Run Raleigh, Arthur Livingston, a member of Black Men Run RDC, and Eleanor Sykes, an ambassador for Black Girls Run, to talk about the challenges they’ve faced – and about the kindness and support they’ve found in their running groups as they pursue their passion for the sport.
