Chaos and recovery","description":"<p>Welcome to episode 250 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>Recovery and cunning plans</h2><p>Chaotic episode alert! We have literal minutes discussing what’s going on in Holly’s drains, and it’s not even a euphemism. However, hang on in there, because we start getting on to where we are, now that we’re almost four weeks out from the marathon. I’ve been attacking the gym, and Holly has been working hard on her recovery runs. She also reveals that she has a bit of a cunning plan involving Doug.</p><p><br></p><h2>Join us on Patreon</h2><p>Just a quick one – do join us on <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/c/womensrunning\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Patreon</a> for just £2 a month, because then you’ll be able to come along to our Live Pod on Zoom which is tonight (Thursday 22nd May) at 7pm, which is an exclusive perk for gorgeous patrons.
