Goals, marathons, ultras","description":"<p>Welcome to episode 178 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.</p><p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p><p>We’re British, so we begin today’s podcast talking about the weather. Because, well, the weather has been insane.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>New York half marathon</h2><p>Then we move on to our goals and some chats about one of them, which is running a half marathon in New York in April – and that’s one you can join us in, check the show notes for a link to find out more.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Half marathon training</h2><p>I talk about a half marathon that’s a bit closer than that, and my worries about my training and how I’m going to get myself race ready in (gulp) four weeks.</p><p><br></p><h2>Goals and races&nbsp;</h2><p>We also talk about goals, and Holly has a VAST one to talk about. So we need your thoughts and help. Where do you look for races? Do you know of a lovely big autumn marathon? Or what about an entry level ultra with no mud? We don’t think we’re asking the impossible!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Do please think about <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/womensrunning\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">becoming a patron</a> of this podcast at patreon.co.uk/womensrunning, because for just £2 a month you can access our free monthly videos, our weekly newsletters, and you get to join our exclusive Pod Squad chat room, where all the fun happens!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And come and run with us in <a href=\"https://sportstoursinternational.co.uk/event/womensrunningnewyork/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">New York</a>!</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Lovely extra bits</strong></h2><ul><li>Subscribe to <a href=\"https://shop.womensrunning.co.uk/become-a-member/print-plus.htm?promo=JAN24WRPOD#promo\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Women’s Running</a> – join us today and you’ll save 50% and get a FREE copy of How To Run 5K with Esther and Holly!</li><li>Run with us in <a href=\"https://sportstoursinternational.co.uk/event/womensrunningnewyork/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">New York</a>!</li><li>Get your hands on <a href=\"https://shop.womensrunning.co.uk/all-products/learn-to-run.htm\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">How to Run 5K with Esther and Holly</a>, available at shop.womensrunning.co.uk / Extras</li></ul><p>·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Download a <a href=\"•%09https:/pages.anthem.co.uk/wr-5k-mini-mag-podcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">FREE mini mag</a> to help you run 5K!
