Earned it?

​Earned it?
Challenging the rules we run and ride by.

​An easy no-drop 5k run, coffee and workshop for men and women with Wobbly Legs, hosted by Danya Marx.

​"I don't love photos of myself mid-ride, mid-run or doing any physical activity really. It's not about how I'm moving. It's my body shape, and it's been that way for as long as I can remember.

​And after a big session, I still can't always tell whether I'm eating because my body needs it, or because I feel I've finally earned it.

​I've spent most of my working life challenging the unwritten rules about gender, and there's a lot of overlap with sport. Women are taught to eat less and take up less space, men are taught to look strong and push through, and all of us are taught that how our bodies look is important."

​Earned it? brings sport and gender activism together. Everyone is welcome, not just women, because these rules shape all of us, and we have a better chance of breaking them together.
