    Women at Mid-life: First-time Marathoners, Embodied Learning and Mainstream Rhetoric

    Author

Abstract

This paper outlines preliminary findings of a study exploring the experiences of mid-life women training for a first marathon. I focus on how and what these women learn about themselves, aging and the world around them. I address participants’ embodied learning and how it aligns with the mainstream definition of mid-life.

Keywords: Mid-life women, Embodied learning, Marathon training
