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><p>This episode is sponsored by <a href=\"about:blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Runna</a> For a FREE two-week trial of Runna, just use the code <strong>WOMENSRUNNING</strong> </p><p><br></p><h2>5K PBs&nbsp;</h2><p>In this episode we start off by talking about life (and death) getting in the way of running plans, and how we’re managing that. Holly’s also been chasing a 5K PB. We get very confused about Strava – so much so that it’s slightly upsetting. Can anyone illuminate us please?!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Boring runners</h2><p>Then my next philosophical question is based on a conversation I had a few weeks back – are runners boring? Discuss! We are extremely worried that everything we do is in fact incredibly dull.</p><p><br></p><h2>Events&nbsp;</h2><p>To make things less dull, we move on to the stuff that other people have been talking about – your emails are the highlight of our very dull week. finally, some race news – I’m running a women’s-only 5K next week with RunThrough, and we’re both running the London 10K in July. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Join us!</h2><p>Now, do please come and join us on Patreon – you can get a ton of extra Pod Squad benefits from just £2 a month, including newsletters Live podcasts and you can join our exclusive Discord forum filled with wonderful runners just like you.
