Episode 5: Running and harassment.

Last year, Emily surveyed the Run Panthera community to better understand women's running. What she actually discovered was that two thirds of all women surveyed sometimes feel unsafe when running alone and a high proportion of those women were afraid of what might happen to them at the hands of other men, whilst out running. 

In the final episode of series 1, Emily shares data and research around running and harassment including responses from a recent Run Panthera social media survey.

Please note, this episode goes into quite a bit of detail around the topic of harassment including some personal experiences that you might find hard to listen to. Please switch off if you find this upsetting or triggering.
