Race ideas and motivation","description":"<p>Welcome to episode 179 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><br></p><h2>Marathon season &nbsp;</h2><p>We launch into marathon and training season with a big dollop of wobbles because we completely forgot our rule of only recording on a Friday. We’re recording on a Monday morning and have no beans at all, so we come at this glass half empty. But, as is always the case when we record, we perk up considerably as we progress. We just love the sounds of our own voices!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We’re still on the hunt for races, but you’ve suggested LOADS, and we’ve loved them all – they’ve really inspired us.
