I6. How Does Runner’S World Shape a Runner’S World? Understanding Representations of the “Ideal” Female Body in Fitness Advertising

In this critical review, we interpret representations of the female body in fitness advertisements targeting female recreational endurance runners. We argue that they offer conflicting – and often unhealthy – directives on how to achieve the “ideal” body.
