One of the few things I look forward to on a Monday is when I wake up, there in my Inbox is my weekly issue of Fast Women. The newsletter recaps the previous week's race results specific to women plus good podcasts and upcoming events.
Allison Wade is a runner, photographer, coach and fan. I asked her to write a little about herself while I shared her newsletter with our River City Races readers. Also below is a link to one of the Fast Women newsletters and a link to subscribe. The newsletter right now is free but if you link what you see, there is a link to donate to help cover their costs.
"I've been a runner for about 30 years, and I've worked in the running industry for about 20, as a web editor, photographer, coach, reporter, and now, whatever this is that I'm doing. I started the newsletter because there is (usually) so much content out there, and I wanted to make it easier for people to keep up with the sport, and understand how exciting it can be from the fan perspective, once you know people's stories."
"I picked women's competitive mid-distance/distance running simply because it's always been my passion and it's what I know best. I originally started Fast Women in 2000. New York Road Runners bought it from me and made it part of my job, and I ran the site for them through the end of 2005. When I left NYRR, I had to leave the site behind, so it's been really fun to return to what I always loved doing, just in a different form, and perhaps greater perspective."
