r/XXRunning rules, stats, and what to post

Don't be unpleasant: Read, listen and think before you react and reply. We aim to be friendly and supportive. This is not the place to tear someone else down but to build them up. No abuse tolerated. Be excellent to each other. Abuse, trolling, bigotry, racism, homophobia, and sexism will be removed. Back and forth personal attack comments will be removed. Repeated offenses will result in a ban.

Please use appropriate flair and use the spoiler tag for sensitive topics.: We hold space for conversations around topics that may be sensitive, including weight, body image, eating disorders, and reproductive health (including pregnancy and TTC). Please ensure that you've selected the appropriate post flair for your discussion; many of these will automatically put your post into "spoiler mode" so that users will need to click on the post in order to read it. Please feel free to report posts as "needs flair / spoiler" to alert mods if something needs to be spoiler-ed.

No body shaming: We support ALL female runners here, regardless of what their body looks like. Comments that judge or shame others will be removed.

No medical questions: If you are dealing with an injury or eating disorder, please see a medical provider. No one here is qualified to diagnose or recommend treatment.

GLP-1 discussion in megathread only.: Because we've had an influx of questions about running while taking GLP medication, we ask that questions about this be limited to the pinned thread. You may also find /r/zepboundathletes to be a helpful sub.

Abide By Sitewide Rules: Absolutely no doxxing or sharing of personal information, as per sitewide rules.

This Sub Is For Women (and trans and non-binary people): This sub is meant to be about running from a WOMAN'S perspective. Trans women are women. If you are a man and want to talk about running as a man, please do so in /r/running. If you have helpful general suggestions, please feel free to contribute, but NOT in posts marked as for women/trans/non-binary only. Do not dismiss a woman's experience, and do not "mansplain". Be helpful, not harmful. Again, this sub is about women, not men. If you are here to learn, do more listening than talking.

Please mark body parts / injuries as NSFW: If posting a picture of an injury, please mark it as NSFW in order to blur it, as some community members may be squeamish.

Sports bra questions in the Friday megathread only, please: Because "what sports bra should I wear?" gets asked VERY frequently, this question is only allowed in the "Fashion Friday" megathread. You may also find it helpful to refer to our subreddit's sports bra reference post: https://www.reddit.com/r/XXRunning/comments/1o1cpni/sports_bra_suggestions_megathread/

Please seek professional help for eating disorders.: If you are struggling with disordered eating, please seek professional help. https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/

No AI spam bots: Spam bots not welcome.

Relevence: Please submit content that is relevant to our experiences as women, for women, or about women that relate to running specifically. Or running related topics that will help women with their running, etc.
