Commented on Although not really Pilates-related, ...

This podcast series is very relevant to understand what is going on around the boxing match between Angela Carini and Imane Khelif. Although the series follows two female runners, the issues around science, race, and (of course) sex also very much show up in the current situation.

It is fascinating and infuriating... And rather timely with the Olympics starting...

Although not really Pilates-related, since the main story (so far) follows a runner, Christine Mboma, I thought I'd share this fascinating podcast series. (Well, at least I find it fascinating as it combines a few things I am interested in, including running and science).

It looks at the testing that is supposed to determine who is a woman and thus can compete as a woman in an athletic event. They are also questioning the science that supposedly underpins that testing since, as they put it, "sports is binary but humans are not."

And this isn't about trans people. They are testing any woman who doesn't fit whatever notion the sports committee has about what a "real woman" looks like...

(Produced by NPR and CDC, so a North American production...)

Gosh, I don't know! I think I just enjoy the challenges no matter how long they are 🤣 I do have a slight preference for the monthly ones and I love the single leg strength focus...

Sometimes taking a break is the best training! Glad you listened to your body and (hopefully) recharged!

Very much enjoyed the new Core Endurance #17! I am very much liking the standing sessions, especially the core ones, since they seem to challenge my core in new ways 😎. Thanks, Liz (Pilates for Runners) !

Wow! I really like this one because I need to practice this! It was so, uhm, eye-opening to do this with eyes closed 😉
