Episode description

“Who run the world? Girls!” -Beyoncé 


Host Sarah Moxham returns to lead This is Viral's first all-women podcast episode. Joining her at the table are former UVA track/cross country runners, Georgie Mackenzie and Libby Davidson. This is their "love story" with running, and its peak highs and lows. A key study that inspired this episode details the gender-based differences in patterns of disordered eating in female student-athletes compared to male student-athletes of the same sports. How might disordered eating or disordered training affect mental health? Find out through the experiences of Georgie and Libby here!
