    The Women's Running Podcast

    About

    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.

    We're back!

    We’re back after our Christmas break and SHOCK HORROR we’ve got a lot of running chat to get through before we even mention the new series of Traitors, so hang on to your hats. We talk about festive running, the trouble with winter run kit and various health-related issues. Big shout out to the NHS app btw – do please make use of it if you don’t already.


    New podcasts!

    And a big fanfare for our two new podcasts this year – Start To Run is a repeat of last year’s 10-episode series, which will be coming out on Mondays (the first episode came out this week). On Wednesdays, we’re launching a new 10-part series, which is going to be exclusively about running and training for a half marathon. And on Fridays, we’re going to be releasing this baggy old podcast, that you know and love. Lots to listen to for the next couple of months!


    Lastly, I have a quick ask of you all, please! If you’ve got a spare minute, could you fill out a super quick survey for us – it’ll help us get better, less annoying, and give you all the stuff you like the best! Thank you so much!
