The Women's Running Podcast

Welcome to episode 320 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.

Feminist rantings
We talk through our running, as it’s all getting very very tough now we’re into our highest mileage weeks. But then we have a LOT to discuss. We get straight into the Hyrox controversy – we’re a little late into the chat, cos we went crazy with the Sydney Sweeney stuff last week, but turns out one can segue quite well into the other. So we start with poo hazards, and then move on to a bit of Keeley Hodgkinson, and a bit of Camille Heron.

Mag and advent calendar free gift!
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 & Bolt (yes, *the* Bimble & Bolt who make the best leggings ever) to offer you a FREE Runner’s Advent Calendar worth £42 when you subscribe. I love this calendar – you get 24 premium running pressies, from tasty treats to super socks. And if you subscribe now, you’ll also save 50% off the mag too. But hey look, we’ve only got limited stock of the calendar, so once they’re gone, they’re gone! Go to womensrunning.co.uk/podsquad to give yourself a treat.

Do also come and join us over on Patreon because it’s brilliant there – you get ad-free listening, early access to some of our pods, and free tickets to our live podcasts. You can also join our exclusive Discord forum and meet all the lovely women that are already there sharing stories and supporting each other.

Welcome to episode 319 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.

Controversies ahoy
We’re talking about our running, now we’re in the trenches in terms of our marathon training. We are pretty exhausted, and VERY hungry. But after all of that, we quickly get on to some of the many controversies that have happened in women’s sport this week. First on the list is Emma Kirk-Odunubi, one of our lovely writers at Women’s Running, who suffered racist abuse at the Great North Run. We also talk about Caitlin Fielder, a kiwi ultrarunner, who had her finish at the UTMB ruined by a random man who hopped on to the course. And we also talk about Sydney Sweeney’s gambling ads. We have all the thoughts on all the things! Hyrox next week, we ran out of time!

Welcome to episode 318 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.

Confidence
Today we’re talking about how I have finally found my voice and have told off a bad person on the canal path (but not very loudly). We talk about increasing our mileage, and also issues with hypermobility as a result of a listener letter. We’ve also got more to share on making friends at the gym. They’re not all bad, it turns out!

3 mags for a fiver!

Gyms and PMDD
Holly is on the struggle bus first of all, so please send hugs immediately. She’s been finding this new goal a tough one, in terms of figuring out to juggle in the training alongside real life. We also talk about gym etiquette – can you actually make friends in the gym? Also a bit of chat on the PMDD side of things – worth another pod, I think. And a bit more on the Raynaud’s side of things – hey, it’s September so we’re getting close to white finger season.

If you’re fond of this pod, you are going to LOVE Women’s Running Magazine, and right now if you subscribe, you’ll make a hefty saving AND you’ll get a free gift of 3 Freyja resistance bands to help you get hench this summer. Go to womensrunning.co.uk/podsquad to treat yourself this July.

Welcome to the 10th and last episode of the Strength Project, a limited series from the makers of The Women’s Running Podcast.

I’m Esther, and she’s Holly, and we are here to help! We all know that we should be strength training these days, but it’s so confusing figuring out where to start. So we’ve put together a series designed to cut through the jargon, answer your questions AND get you fitter and stronger as a result.

The two of us are assisted by the gorgeous Kate, our resident PT and strength coach who can answer all the questions we can’t. If you have any more questions, or you’d just like to drop us a line, we would love to hear from you at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk

In our 10th episode, we’re talking about common mistakes when it comes to strength training, so you don’t make the mistakes that we have!
As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week is about the part of the core we often forget – your back! Back extensions (otherwise weirdly known as the plural Supermans) are brilliant for strengthening your back and as a companion exercise to anything you’ve done to strengthen the front of your core. They look easy, but they feel spicy!

To help you get stronger this summer, we’ve got a brilliant deal on Women’s Running magazine. If you go to womensrunning.co.uk/podsquad, you can pick up the next three issues for just £14.99, AND you’ll get a super strong free gift too – a bundle of three Freyja Resistance bands worth £14.95. They’re not only beautiful, but they’ll help you get results too! Go to womensrunning.co.uk/podsquad to find out more.
And to access all our simple workout videos, search for Women’s Running youtube, and follow along with us.
