Welcome to episode 173 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.
We start off with a lengthy complaint against Chillblains, which quickly segues into some stuff about pub quizzes, before moving on to today’s hot topic: V02 max. Why does it go up when you least expect it? And go down when you’ve been training really hard? We discuss with absolutely no expertise.
Then we chat Christmas eating and training, and rewards and punishment. We talk about how running gives us more than just physical and mental benefits, but how it benefits us socially by gifting us a community in whatever way we access it. There’s also a bit of parkrun controversy, courtesy of a lovely listener. To be continued.
