"I\\u2019m in a position where I can help make decisions that put images out there of diverse people. That\\u2019s very special, and it\\u2019s an important job."

Rozalynn "Roz" Frazier is the senior health editor at\\xa0Health magazine, where she\'s worked for the past decade. On this episode, Roz talks about breaking into the publishing industry (and that time she interviewed a mostly unknown-at-the-time Alicia Keys while working at Essence), and everything that comes with being a fitness editor. She talks about the state of the fitness industry, and her mission to get more women of varying shapes, sizes, and colors represented. And she shares her running story: how she got started, what her road to becoming a ten-time marathoner has looked like, and what\'s up with everyone\'s obsession with time goals. Finally, Roz \\u2014 a self-proclaimed sneakerhead \\u2014 shares her favorite gear picks, from sports bras to shorts to her favorite shoes for every distance.
