In 1967, Kathrine Switze bravely signed up for the Boston Marathon with her initials "K.V. Switzer".
In the era when women were forbidden to participate in marathons, this name, which made people unable to see the gender, passed the application and got the number plate of "No.261" for her.
But on the day of the race, when Switze had just run 6 kilometers,Jock Semple, the angry race director, suddenly rushed at her to drive her off the track..

Slowly, the rules really began to change. In 1972, women were officially allowed to participate in the Boston Marathon for the first time.

On page 95, Paula Radcliffe, the marathon champion of the 2005 World Championship, described without reservation how a female runner experienced pregnancy and lactation.

However, in the face of illness, pain and doubt, dozens of top female runners in the world never flinched, but chose to persist for another second and take another step. With sweat and tears, love and honor, they give sincere suggestions and advice on activating life with running.
Wisdom of female runners, four keys to safety and efficiency:
Wang Liping, the Olympic champion, wrote when recommending this book, "The significance of sports is far more than a run, a yoga class, a climb and a hike, but lies in the feeling, harvest and energy in the process of sports."
In the situation of legendary female runners, there are how to cooperate with men, how to get help from the team and people around them, how to eat properly, how to sleep well, how to drive away psychological shadows, how to explore their own advantages, how to surpass themselves … and how to find themselves through exercise.
