Menopause ranting and injuries","description":"<p>Welcome to episode 236 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m your host Esther Newman and she’s your other host Holly Taylor.

Do get in touch with anything you’d like to add to our massive menopausal list at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk</p><p><br></p><h2>Injuries</h2><p>Halfway through we talk to Jordan from Coopah about injuries, as she’s picked up a nasty one, and what we should do if a niggle threatens to derail our training. We talk about the emotional decision on whether to defer, and also how to recover after long runs so that the mid-week runs don’t feel quite so painful. Lots of brilliant advice here for anyone training for a race of any distance this spring.</p><p><br></p><h2>Join us on Patreon!</h2><p>Before I forget to mention it, did you know about our Discord channel?
