After her personal essay about the incident went viral, Latoya became an inspiration to people who were tired of being told they can\u2019t be proud of who they are or can\u2019t achieve the goals they want. The experience spurred her on to become an advocate for inclusivity of all kinds in health and fitness. Today, we\u2019ll talk about Latoya\u2019s journey to balance fitness with self-compassion, her involvement with the Black Girls RUN! Movement, and what a running chef eats before a big race.<\/span><\/p>\n<span class=\"cb-button cb-white cb-normal cb-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rei.com\/blog\/run\/latoya-shauntay-snell-is-a-force-to-be-reckoned-with\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">Read more about Latoya on the Co-op Journal<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" role=\"presentation\"><path d=\"M16 12a.997.997 0 0 0-.288-.702l-5.005-5.005a1 1 0 0 0-1.414 1.414L13.585 12 9.29 16.295a1 1 0 0 0 1.417 1.412l4.98-4.98A.997.997 0 0 0 16 12z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/span>\n<p><strong>Connect with Latoya\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.runningfatchef.com\/store\/c2\/hyvseries\">Honor Your Voice series<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.runningfatchef.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/iamlshauntay\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/runningfatchef\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/latoyashauntay\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theglowup.theroot.com\/im-a-plus-size-runner-and-i-got-heckled-at-the-nyc-mara-1820797012\">Latoya\u2019s piece on The Root<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.300poundsandrunning.com\/podcast\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Long Run<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blackgirlsrun.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black Girls RUN!<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyrr.org\/tcsnycmarathon\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York Marathon<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Episode advertiser<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hokeoneone.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoka One One<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transcript When a heckler disrespected plus-size runner Latoya Shauntay Snell during the 2017 New York Marathon, she couldn\u2019t help returning fire.
