S2 Episode 10: Running and Self-Defense | Pretty Deadly Podcast

Runners are a known and obvious target for attackers. Why are women more vulnerable when running and what can we do to protect ourselves.

Susie also offers tips on how to use your movement as leverage against an attacker and the difference between intuition and paranoia.
