Ep 224. Storms and awards

Welcome to episode 224 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.StormsWe start off by talking about the man of the moment: Storm Bert. We’ve both had some experiences and are keen to chat about whether or not we deserved the weather that we got. I ran in it and Holly drove in it, and I think she came off worse.AwardsWe’ve also got boozed up over the weekend because we landed a couple of awards, and so we got a bit giddy on the GWR back from Paddington (sorry to everyone on Coach A). We do eventually get back to running as the marathon is preying on Holly’s mind, and my lack of strength is preying on mind.Join us!And a quick little nudge to subscribe to the magazine here.

Om Podcasten

Running is the one thing that we all like talking about. Every week on the award winning Women’s Running podcast, we talk all things running, women, health and fitness with our own brand of happy, irreverent chat. Esther and Holly talk through their training highs and lows, and all the bits and pieces in-between. Every so often, we invite an expert to join us to help us figure out the confusing worlds of training, recovery, nutrition, health and more. And sometimes we get to talk to an incredible woman from the world of running, from Anna McNuff to Paula Radcliffe, Susie Chan to Nicky Spinks. So why do we do it? Because we realised that most of the running podcasts we listened to were full of blokes waffling on about quads and cadence (and we realised that we can do that perfectly well ourselves, thank you very much). Right here, we talk about all the things that affect us when we step out the door: sexism, hormones, menopause, food, pelvic floors, relationships, mental health, seagull attacks and wild weeing. But. BUT. We will also talk about races, PBs, shoes, training, starting running, enjoying running, finding the fun. And quads and cadence. This is the Women’s Running podcast, and it’s for women who love to run. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
