The Scummy Mummies PodcastShow Notes
Our guest for this episode is the awesome Tasha Thompson, founder of Black Girls Do Run!
She tells us what inspired to set up the organisation, why she started running, and what keeps her going more than 25 years later. We discuss the challenges women face when it comes to getting involved in sport. Tasha talks about why we need to get out there, and how to do it.
There's a lot of chat about chafing, and we share our top running tips. Tasha tells us what her favourite gadget is, and Helen reveals the handy hack that has changed her life.
