Dr. Sasha Gollish on gender equity and shrinking the gender gap in road race participation
Despite rising total participation in road races, the gap between male and females toeing the line is growing.
This week on The Shakeout Podcast we bring you part one of our two-part series examining the gender gap in road race participation. Joining the show today is Dr. Sasha Gollish, co-host of the “Strong Girl Talk” Podcast, author of the Yellow Running Shoe newsletter, and a Chartered Professional Coach (ChPC).
A Canadian masters record holder, Canadian university champion and multi-time Canadian national team member on the road, track and trail, Sasha has long been a champion of promoting gender equity and initiatives that support higher female participation in athletics.
She joins us today to share her perspective from a lifetime of involvement in running, and to highlight some of the promising initiatives currently underway. Stay tuned for part 2 next week, where we’ll sit down with TCS Toronto Waterfront Race Director Charlotte Brookes to hear about the initiatives she and her race organizing team are championing to actively support female athletes.
