Ep 180. Running shows, races and the Squad

Welcome to episode 180 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. The National Running ShowWe start – and continue for some time – on the NRS. The National Running Show was this weekend just gone, and it was a total blast. We’re still getting over it. But there is much to discuss, from the famous people who met us on the stand to the gorgeous Pod Squadders who replenished us with hugs and snacks. We loved meeting you all!Races One thing we talked about a lot at the show with you all was races, so we talk about the suggestions here (and there are some great ideas for all of us). New YorkWe catch up about the New York half marathon we’re running on 28th April. We’ve got some exciting extra things to add to the package we’ve worked out with Sports Tours for those of you coming – more on this in coming weeks. For everyone not coming, we’re going to be starting a half marathon training block from 2nd Feb.

Om Podcasten

Running is the one thing that we all like talking about. Every week on the award winning Women’s Running podcast, we talk all things running, women, health and fitness with our own brand of happy, irreverent chat. Esther and Holly talk through their training highs and lows, and all the bits and pieces in-between. Every so often, we invite an expert to join us to help us figure out the confusing worlds of training, recovery, nutrition, health and more. And sometimes we get to talk to an incredible woman from the world of running, from Anna McNuff to Paula Radcliffe, Susie Chan to Nicky Spinks. So why do we do it? Because we realised that most of the running podcasts we listened to were full of blokes waffling on about quads and cadence (and we realised that we can do that perfectly well ourselves, thank you very much). Right here, we talk about all the things that affect us when we step out the door: sexism, hormones, menopause, food, pelvic floors, relationships, mental health, seagull attacks and wild weeing. But. BUT. We will also talk about races, PBs, shoes, training, starting running, enjoying running, finding the fun. And quads and cadence. This is the Women’s Running podcast, and it’s for women who love to run. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
