"NOTHING IN THE WORLD
FEELS LIKE RUNNING"

At the upcoming Boston Half Marathon PUMA Running Athlete and Olympic Bronze Medalist Molly Seidel will compete again. In a “She Moves Us” conversation she talks about her passion for running and how she wants to inspire young women. She also speaks about the sacrifices and challenges of being a female elite runner. Take a look!

“I’ve had to challenge male standards in my sport in the sense that there are very certain ideas about body image that have been prevalent in running for a long time, in a male dominated sport. And I think as American female distance running takes over, we’ve shown that you don’t have to be any one kind of body type to succeed. That you can have success being whoever you are.” – Molly Seidel

The Olympic Bronze Medalist, who will again compete at the upcoming Boston Marathon, wants to empower girls and young women to embarke into a career in running: “I want young women to know that you can work hard and enjoy yourself. There have been certain ideas of what it takes to be successful in this sport, and I think sometimes people equate that with you have to be serious, you have to be straight-faced. And I want to challenge that and say that I think to win you should be enjoying the hell out of what you do.”
