On February 22nd, 22 year old Laken Hope Riley was found dead at the University of Georgia campus after going out on a run. While I like to keep topics on this podcast light and happy, I couldn’t shake knowing she isn’t the only one who fell victim to this. And as a female runner, I knew we needed to have a conversation about how women can feel safer running. So in this episode, I have Jodi from Go Guarded here to discuss what women can do to feel safer on their runs.
