1992 Amherst grad, Stephanie Reents joins us to talk about her novel, We Loved to Run.

Through our conversation, we covered themes of female friendships, competition, and the complexities of being a woman in sports. She reflects on her personal experiences as a runner, the writing process, and the importance of authenticity in storytelling.

She also highlights what she wants female runners to take away from the novel.

The discussion also touches on sensitive topics such as disordered eating and the dynamics of team relationships, ultimately highlighting the strength and resilience of women athletes.
