How women runners debunked myths about the sport and made running their own

10. Not much "raw" data was in the NPR article

Until you read the book, you just won't know.

You obviously are quick to belittle what you don't know.

I remember growing up in the 60s and 70s and hearing about how dangerous it was for women to do aerobics exercises before they became popular. It will make you look like a man. It will prevent you from getting pregnant etc....

The requirement for women athletes to remain excessively thin while performing sports was, and still is, a deadly combination.

So no the myths may sound silly to you but they were definitely pushed as being based in fact.
