That photo was a complete game changer: Kathrine Switzer being attacked by the race director as she became the first woman to officially run the Boston Marathon. Kathrine joins Gabby and Mark to look back at that famous race almost 60 years ago that opened the floodgates.

Now every year 10,000 women take part in the Boston Marathon and over 300,000 women applied to race in the 2025 London Marathon.

The progress extends beyond this to technology and trainers that are helping set new world records, as Charlotte Heidman from Adidas explains.

And could we get to a point where robots are involved too?! It's not as far off as you think...
