Description

In this episode of the workshop, Holly and I are hugely excitable about several things all at once. Holly’s running has been going brilliantly, so she’s feeling hugely positive about that. Mine isn’t too bad either – I’ve even done some hills, so am feeling a little bit smug. But all that positivity is against a backdrop of the disappointment of our half marathon being postponed, which we’re both gutted about – although we are still looking forward to running it in May. But as far as our training is going, all is not lost – as Holly confesses in her Big Announcement. No spoilers here. We also talk about alternatives to weekend parkruns, the universal truth of the last mile of any run being awful, no matter how long or short it is, and the lack of good public loos basically being a feminist subject. We also talk about an email we’ve had in from a listener who has a running issue that deserves masses of air time, and a solution. We have one idea, but if you have any other ideas on good places to go, or brands to visit, who can help women run who have had mastectomies, then do please let us know at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk.We loved the National Running Show – find out about the next show in May!Check out Sports Tours International to book a half marathon in a beautiful cityGo to Boobydoo for expert bra fitting advice and guidanceBuy some flapjacks from Flapjackery – I’ve just finished the vegan one and it was IMMENSE (they do not have a pecan version btw, but they do have a dangerously addictive hazelnut one)This episode is sponsored by Run 4 All.

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.
