🏃🏾‍♀️ PLR Presents: Running, Disordered Eating & Eating Disorders

It’s 2025. We’ve been having this conversation since 2020, yet when you look at Running Media and Running Culture, discussions around disordered behaviors—whether in movement or eating—are still:

a) celebrated ✨
b) ignored 👀
c) inadequate 🤨

We’re here to change that. Loudly. Whether the algorithm likes it or not.

Starting with☝🏾What happens when we focus only on Diet Culture & Body Image?

We miss the stories of Black and racialized folks who engage in disordered eating not simply because of thinness, but as a means of survival within larger systems of oppression. These lived experiences get erased in favor of single-story narratives and “safe” conversations. We refuse to let that continue.
💭 Ready to rethink what you thought you knew about Disordered Eating (D.E) & Eating Disorders (E.D) in Running? Join us this month as we explore this topic & share more on PLR’s Running Practices.

💫• Community: how has the focus on training or racing affected your relationship with your body?

Reflect on the many ways that goal-oriented running might have overshadowed your needs for rest, connection, or processing emotions.

What would it look like to approach running in a way that makes space for your body’s grief and needs?

✨• Dear Community,

In a world where we’re encouraged to constantly push forwards [Running], how do we make room for grief?

My teacher’s taught me that love and grief are sisters, and “to grieve is to be alive. To be human”

With our event this month, we wish to bear witness to the grief we carry with us as we move through life. We want to honour our bodies and their “wise ways of coping” in a world with multiple forms of violence.

Processing our losses in community, and supporting each other as we make sense of the all the loss and suffering around us.

This will be our last event of the year,
Join Us❣️

Our intention: to hold space for the full, complex experience of what it means to be alive and grieve in our bodies, in community.
