The Women's Running Podcast

Welcome to episode 322 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m your host Esther Newman and she’s your other host Holly Taylor. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.

Looooooong runs
Our last long sessions have been ticked off the plan, so there’s a lot of training and recovery to talk about. Lots of chat about fuelling strategies and running maths, which is the worst kind. No one’s getting any A-stars around here. But also lots of excitement about the trip itself, whether or not I actually make it round the course. I’m trying to do what the physio has told me to do, and I’m also trying to avoid running. The most terrifying build up to a marathon ever!

Get the mag - it's madness not to!
This is where I shout about the mag – if you’re hovering over the subscribe button, then THIS is the moment to click on it, because Women’s Running this month has teamed up with Bimble & Bolt (yes, *the* Bimble & Bolt who make the best leggings ever) to offer you a free Runderful Christmas box worth £16, which includes a pair of brilliant Runderful socks, high viz bands and laces, and lots of delicious bits to fuel your runs. And if you subscribe now, you’ll also save 40% off the mag too. Go to womensrunning.co.uk/podbox to find out more and give yourself a little Christmas treat.

Welcome to episode 321 of the Women’s Running podcast, or what I’ve decided to call the Dusty Bin episode (joke purely for Generation X Brits, not even apologising for it). I’m your host Esther Newman and she’s your other host Holly Taylor. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.

Race results
Today, we’re talking through some of the races and results that have been going on in the world, from the Berlin marathon to the V10K. And then we quickly get on to running – I’ve had a bit of setback and I need all your good vibes, please. A bit of a calf strain has sent me running to the physio (if not actually running). Will I make it to the start line of Dublin marathon? Holly is also having issues, but of the gastric variety. Yum. We are firmly in the pits of training right now – send thoughts and prayers

Magazine goodness!
This is where I shout about the mag – if you’re hovering over the subscribe button, then THIS is the moment to click on it, because Women’s Running this month has teamed up with Bimble & Bolt (yes, *the* Bimble & Bolt who make the best leggings ever) to offer you a FREE Runner’s Advent Calendar worth £42 when you subscribe. It is an excellent calendar – you get 24 premium running pressies, from tasty treats to super socks. And if you subscribe now, you’ll also save 50% off the mag too. But hey look, we’ve only got limited stock of the calendar, so once they’re gone, they’re gone!

Welcome to episode 320 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m your host Esther Newman and she’s your other host Holly Taylor. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.

Feminist rantings
We talk through our running, as it’s all getting very very tough now we’re into our highest mileage weeks. But then we have a LOT to discuss. We get straight into the Hyrox controversy – we’re a little late into the chat, cos we went crazy with the Sydney Sweeney stuff last week, but turns out one can segue quite well into the other. So we start with poo hazards, and then move on to a bit of Keeley Hodgkinson, and a bit of Camille Heron.

Mag and advent calendar free gift!

Controversies ahoy
We’re talking about our running, now we’re in the trenches in terms of our marathon training. We are pretty exhausted, and VERY hungry. But after all of that, we quickly get on to some of the many controversies that have happened in women’s sport this week. First on the list is Emma Kirk-Odunubi, one of our lovely writers at Women’s Running, who suffered racist abuse at the Great North Run. We also talk about Caitlin Fielder, a kiwi ultrarunner, who had her finish at the UTMB ruined by a random man who hopped on to the course. And we also talk about Sydney Sweeney’s gambling ads. We have all the thoughts on all the things! Hyrox next week, we ran out of time!

Welcome to episode 318 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m your host Esther Newman and she’s your other host Holly Taylor. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.

Confidence
Today we’re talking about how I have finally found my voice and have told off a bad person on the canal path (but not very loudly). We talk about increasing our mileage, and also issues with hypermobility as a result of a listener letter. We’ve also got more to share on making friends at the gym. They’re not all bad, it turns out!
