Welcome to episode 218 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 are recording live in person! We’re sitting on Holly’s sofa in her brand new home, having a few technical issues. Do please note at this point: when Holly talks about staining her sofa, what she means is she spilled coffee all over it – nothing more sinister.
We’re catching up seconds after I’ve had my very first session down the gym, so we talk about strength training, and gymtimidation, and all that kind of stuff.
And then I’ve got lots to talk about as I’ve just returned from the Royal Parks Half, which I want to thoroughly debrief – if you ran it too, do please get in touch and let us know what your experiences were as well.
We have just enough time to talk about a brand new running controversy and the inherent sexism in race cut-off times, so we get quite hot under the collar.
And now I’m going to annoy everyone who already subscribes, but please bear with. Our subscription offer for the magazine has had a glow up: if you buy a year’s worth of Women’s Running magazine, you’ll save a whacking 30% AND you get a year’s subscription to running app Coopah, worth £79.99, absolutely free. Go to womensrunning.co.uk, click on SHOP and use the code X24WRPOD at the checkout.
Lovely extra bits
