Taper tantrums, Nike After Dark","description":"<p>Welcome to episode 324 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m Esther, she’s Holly, and we’re the soundtrack to your next run. 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>Taper and Nike</h2><p>Maranoia is massive for both of us, so we’re trying to navigate that and a weird taper that has hit both of us very hard. Sniffly noses, cranky calves, it’s all going on. Don’t even get me started on HRV. We discuss the validity of the taper tantrum – is this actually a thing, or as AI made it up? We also chat about the Nike After Dark run that happened at the weekend – a race for women that was attended (again!) by men. Thoughts on a postcard please!</p><p><br></p><h2>Cheap mag!</h2><p>This is where I shout about the mag – if you’re hovering over the subscribe button, then THIS is the moment to click on it, because Women’s Running this month has teamed up with Bimble &amp; Bolt to offer you a free Runderful Christmas box worth £16, which includes a pair of brilliant Bimble &amp; Bolt socks, high viz bands and laces, and lots of delicious bits to fuel your runs.
