This month’s wise women

CLINIC • It’s a hot topic for runners at the moment and it seems wherever you look there is an advert for massage guns. Should every runner have one?

Events

Should you combine your run and strength workouts or keep them separate? • Strength and conditioning sometimes get ignored in our weekly exercise schedules. Our experts discuss whether it’s better to combine or divide and conquer

“Running is so powerful and it’s great to be able to run at speed. At the track I just feel happy” • Meet Milly Pickles. After being electrocuted, she needed life-saving surgery that involved amputating a leg. She talks about her recovery, her running blade and her 100m ambitions

Running mates Because we run better together • This month, you share your views about strength training, tell us how you’ve rekindled your love for running and explain how you manage asthma and exercise

We hang out with Bernie Pelster • She’s coming back from injury and enjoying the miles

RACISM, RUNNING & SAFETY • Last issue, we reported on the fear that women face when they go running, and now we expose an even more distressing truth: that black women runners experience a far greater fear. Battling both misogyny and racism is, for many, a part of every run. It is crucial to give voice to those experiences, to listen and learn, so that we can move forward
