Together We Move: A podcast series from Fleet Feet
Latest Episodes
Today we talk about running and community in a time when isolation and division are woven into our daily lives. Studies show that social connection has a deeper impact on our physical and mental health than we often give it credit for. When it comes to building community and living healthy lives, how much of an impact can running have? Could running change everything?
Today we bring you a show in 3 parts:
For part one, we talk to Mike Moreau, a runner who is looking for ways to expand the running community to make it more inclusive for everyone.
For part two we talk to Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad, a professor of psychology and neuroscience, about how social relationships impact our health.
And for part three, we talk to Lupita Hernandez and Amy Saffell, who share how their endurance teams through Achilles International have become like families for athletes with disabilities.

In the fourth and final installation of our podcast series, we discuss health disparities in the Black community. Why are these disparities so stark, and how can we begin to close the gap? Join us as we continue our conversations with representatives from the One Million Miles for Justice virtual event, National Civil Rights Museum, Black Girls RUN! and NAACP.
On Episode three, we interview Faith Morris from the National Civil Rights Museum, as well as Tony Reed and Gary Corbitt of the National Black Marathoners Association. All three uncover incredible stories too often unexamined or ignored by history.
This is part three of a four-part series that coincides with the One Million Miles for Justice Virtual event. It runs from June 15 to July 15 2020, and you can register at anytime before July 15. The cost for registration is $25 and the net profits go to the NAACP. Register at runsignup.com.
On episode two of our four-part podcast series, Tori O'Neal tells us how the NAACP fights for racial justice. NAACP is the beneficiary of the One Million Miles for Justice virtual event.
