Welcome to episode 193 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.
Running and MSWe have a special guest this episode in the shape of brilliant Lianne the co-founder of Monkey Sox, who is talking to us this this week specifically, because it’s MS Awareness Week, and MS, and raising awareness and funds for MS research is at the heart of everything they do (along with making socks). Lianne talks to us here about the origins of the brand, as well as MS symptoms. And she also speaks about how movement can help the management of some of those MS symptoms.
New York half and London MarathonOnce Hol and I are back in the room, we’re getting ready for New York this weekend, but also getting very excited about the London Marathon which took place LAST weekend – the tears, the costumes, the drama. Congratulations to everyone who has just taken on a big event and good luck to all those looking forward to some miles this weekend.

Welcome to episode 192 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.
Coopah tipsIn this special episode we’re joined by Jordan Foster from the Coopah running app. Jordan is the OG of instagram running, who I first new as Project Marathon Girl. Now she’s part of the establishment and part of Coopah. She chats to us about her start in running and her recent successes, and then tells us what we need to do during a taper before a half marathon. As well as general marathon strategies ahead of the London Marathon to get your head sorted as much as your legs. She’ll be back with us in a couple of weeks to talk about recovery strategies – it’s almost as if we planned it, right?
Last long runBefore and after that proper running bit, Holly talks about her last long runs, which have mostly been going well, aside from a small altercation with a dog and a chicken. It’s all going on here. We also have a chat after our convo with Jordan about whether we should now think of ourselves as “naturally sporty” after all.

Avoiding parkrunHolly’s been on a hen do and has managed to avoid going to parkrun, or in fact run at all for a whole five days. And does she feel guilty? No she does not. She explains why here, but it also leads us neatly on to how we’re going to be fitting in our last long runs ahead of the New York half.
Average pacesWe talk about my worries about my fitness dropping, and where we both are if we look at average paces, which is supposed to cheer us up but sort of doesn’t.
TaperingWe also, in light of the above, have a chat about tapering and what we should be doing before our half marathon in New York with Sports Tours International.

Trigger warning: sexual attacks and attempted rape
Please go to Rape Crisis for support and advice.
Running and women's safetyWe’ve got some very big topics to discuss on the podcast today. We talk about the recent news of Alison Walker, who was attacked while on a run in Portugal. We spoke to Alison last week, more of which here, but since then it’s been at the front of our minds. How can we make running more safe for women without imposing curfews or asking us to change our behaviour? I would love to know what you think.
Jasmin ParisWe then move on to the latest news about Jasmin Paris and the Barkley Marathons, because we couldn’t not, before moving on to your letters. We’ve got way too much to talk about in this episode, that’s for sure.

Half training and physiosWe start by talking about running. I know. What have we become? I’ve been to the physio, so we have lots of dry needling things to discuss, and Holly’s training has been going annoyingly well.
We have a slight handbrake turn in the middle so we can discuss the stag-do that Doug’s going on, and the very real concerns for feminist, vegetarian men in 2024.
Music in racesWe then get to chat about music during races – and I’m beginning to think I have a campaign here! And then we’re back into running, awful race photographs and letters from you guys and all sorts. It’s a manic episode

Welcome to a brand new special series of podcasts, brought to you by the Women’s Running Podcast, and sponsored by Vivobarefoot. This is a 13-part special in which we introduce our friend and colleague Cara, who is keen to take on 5K with our help.
Run 5K with usFancy joining along? Grab hold of your perfect training plan here. There are lots to choose from, but for our sessions with Cara, we’re taking on the 10-week 5K training plan for beginners.
Sign up to our weekly 5K support emails for more advice with your training and a check-in on your progress. You’ll also get a free mini magazine!
Cara’s 5K newsOkay, so this might be the episode you’re expecting. Cara spills on why she hasn’t finished the plan in the way she intended to – but all is not lost…
5K and beyondWe decide that we’ve achieved everything we set out to achieve with this journey. Cara’s found a new love of running and now has a fitness routine that suits her. She’s exciting to continue running three times a week and doesn’t feel she needs a distance-based goal to keep her motivated. She’s also trained Pablo to be the perfect running companion!
The end of an eraThank you so much for joining us on this 5K journey. This is the final episode of the Office Chair to 5K series, but you can still listen to the Women’s Running podcast weekly. If you’re looking for a new challenge, check out our downloadable training plans to get started.

Welcome to episode 188 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.
Bath HalfIt’s the day after the Bath Half, and I want to talk you through it. First we talk about vlogging or not during a race – I’m not very good at doing this, and decided against it during this one (sorry). So I ran it and have many thoughts, and Hol wasn’t running it, but was instead singing with her choir on the route to raise the runners’ spirits – and in this, she’s hooked. Who loves volunteering as much as running the thing?
Exclusive competitionWe’ve also got a brilliant compo for you! It’s a Pod Squad exclusive to win two entries, for you and a friend, to run the Threshold Endure 24 in Reading on the 8th-9th June. Super cool! Endure 24 is the UK’s biggest 24-hour trail race, and feels more like a festival than a race. You run it by taking part in 8K loops – and you can do as many or as few of them as you like! Go to womensrunning.co.uk/endure24 for your chance to win a place – good luck!

Welcome to a brand new special series of podcasts, brought to you by the Women’s Running Podcast, and sponsored by Vivobarefoot. This is a ten-part special in which we introduce our friend and colleague Cara, who is keen to take on 5K with our help.

Cara’s week 10 runs:Run 1: 30 minute run
Run 2: 30 minute run
Run 3: Goal 5K!
Adventure runningWe’re talking about routes again this week. Cara’s getting a bit fed up with the same old trot round her village, which leads us onto some exciting plans for adventuring in the future. She can’t wait to get a bit braver with her running and use it as a way of exploring her surroundings; she’s going to make a wonderful trail runner!
Running motivationWe’re also talking all about how Cara ticks and what’s going to encourage her to keep up the habit. She thinks plotting some runs around some places she’d really like to visit could be a good place to start. This makes us wonder: why do we always have to have a goal time or distance to get us up and running? Could we all do with taking a leaf out of Cara’s books?

Welcome to episode 187 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.
Booze and runningAnd we’re definitely NOT talking about running to begin with. We’re talking about booze. Our weekends have been very different because of it: Holly’s had a jolly time at the pub, while I’ve been getting acid reflux after half a glass. Aging isn’t fair.
TaperingOn to the running bit. Running has become HARD for me. I ask the question, is this because it’s genuinely hard, is it because I’m in the middle of tapering, which is always the lowest point in terms of confidence, or is it age? Answers on a postcard please.
Running criticalWe also talk about how we, firmly within the running bubble, can often think we’re not doing very well, because this is where we work, and these are the Instagram accounts that we follow. But normal people, it turns out, don’t know what shoes they should be wearing, or understand what a taper is. Are we being too critical of ourselves? Of course, the answer is yes!

Cara’s week 9 runs:Run 1: 25 minute run

Run 3: 28 minute run
Where to runThis week, we check in with Cara as she hits the final few weeks of her plan. She’s keen to find some long stretches that she can use for her runs, but she’s struggling to find somewhere safe, dry and comfortable to run for long periods of time in her village. We talk about the best places to run and how to stay safe on roads.
Running and hamstringsAs Cara’s runs get longer, her hamstrings seem to be complaining more. We dig down into what’s causing this and discover a potential lifestyle culprit…

YogaYou catch us in the middle of chatting about our recent yoga efforts, which have had various degrees of success. Running has also had some ups and downs, as we prepare variously for our New York Half and the Bath Half, which I’ve snuck in the middle there.
Running annoyancesI then get going on the latest thing that’s made me enormously cross – the public playing of music when out running or cycling, like naughty teenagers on a train. I’m super cross about this. And this swiftly moves on to music that’s played at the start line of races – so do please tell us what you love to hear, and what are your pet peeves.

How to plan a 5KThis week, if you’ve been following on from the beginning marks the end of the plan – and time to put all this training to the test! If you’re a bit behind then never fear: we’ve still got more episodes to come to keep you going. But if this is your final week and you’re wondering where to start with getting a 5K in the calendar, we’ve got some top tips (as well as some slightly silly ones) for measuring distances and plotting routes if you’re going it alone, as well as our suggestions for local events to watch our for.
How to celebrate a big runWe’re also getting a little over excited this week about what we might do to celebrate Cara’s 5K. We’re talking roasts, brunch, Prosecco and all sorts. Whatever your idea of fun, make sure you’ve got something in the calendar that allows you to celebrate yourself and your huge achievement.

Welcome to episode 185 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.
AnxietyIn this episode we talk about nerves and anxiety on a run, and also we chunter on a bit about how sleep unsurprisingly can have a huge effect on our running and our moods.
KitWe also talk about kit, and the shoes we currently like to run in; the latest ones that I’ve been able to plod in have been a total revelation, as I didn’t think they were designed for runners like me, but in turns out that they are!
SupportWe talk about support on race day from family and friends, and how we mentally cope with doing hard things without the support crew – to be honest, I feel so much better about this now, because we have such a strong community with the Pod Squad (that’s you guys, that is).
New York half marathonAnd we’ve got just enough time to get excited about New York, our half marathon in April which is fast approaching. We’re getting very close to last-chance saloon now – so if you’ve been sitting on the fence, do please sign up before the offer closes, as it would be wonderful to have you there! We talk about everything we’re looking forward to, which mostly includes the huge margaritas we had last time.

SweatingRain isn’t the only thing we’re drenched in this week. We talk embarrassing moments with sweat and how to combat them, as well as why we should wear our sweaty heads as a badge of honour.

Welcome to episode 184 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.
Bad trainingHolly has had some ups and downs with her half marathon training, including an almost literally crappy run, so we have a lot to talk about with that. Half marathon training is not easy, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Simple runningIn other news, we’ve decided we want to start a campaign – to run more simply. We’re both overwhelmed by all the information that’s thrown at us on a daily basis on how to run better, what strength training to do, what to eat, and what to do for general fitness. What we want is a simplification of all that noise – how to run, how to train, how to get fitter in about four different moves MAX. So – who’s with us? And what’s our manifesto going to be?

Week 8:Run 1: 18 minute run

How to set running goalsCara is over halfway through her 5K journey, and she’s concerned about what happens when she’s finished. We talk a bit about pace, longer distances, races and other things runners might aim for to help with motivation.
Running groupsThis leads us to get deep about being held accountable – we talk about running with friends, joining run groups and being part of a running community. Cara’s a self-confessed lonely goat, but she’s feeling more confident about talking while she runs now and would like to test the waters of having a running buddy to help get her out the door. So we get into all the pros and cons of this and how to find the right situationship for your running.

Welcome to episode 183 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.
Barcelona half marathonI’ve just got back from Barcelona where I ran a half marathon and there is much to discuss. Yes, we talk about the race itself (which was lovely), but we quite rightly spend much of the time talking about food, hotels and lovely touristy things.
Running expoWe then start on one of our first controversies this episode, which is the hated (for us) running expo – what’s it for, who likes it, isn’t it just a capitalist construct? A bit like Valentine’s day.
StravaSecond controversy is Strava – how do you feel about being stalked slightly on Strava? Do you enjoy recording your runs on there? Do you feel pressured to achieve on there? Or do you just slightly ignore it like me?
parkrunAnd on to our third controversy of the day, which is parkrun and its recent decision to remove data, including speed records. We have some thoughts, and we’re sure you have too – do get in touch and we’ll carry this on in a future pod, as we didn’t have much time left to talk about it here. Email us at [email protected].

Welcome to episode 182 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.
What is Jeffing?To begin with, we’re slightly more deflated than the last episode – we’re TIRED, for a couple of different reasons. Once we stop whinging, we get on to the running conundrums – such as, does stopping at water stations count as Jeffing? We want your thoughts! Then we start talking race strategy – neither of us can quite remember what Hol did at Paris half, and how she can emulate it, if she decides to follow that plan again.
Plan panicWe also talk about general training plan panic – that thing where you study hundreds of training plans and try to find one that retrospectively fits what we’ve been doing! This ties into Holly giving me a bit of a telling off, to ground me and my panic ahead of the Barcelona half marathon this weekend.
Email us!Happily, we have some more embarrassing moments – and we want more! Cos it cheers us up, so it’s totally selfish. Email them in at [email protected].

Periods, hormones and runningCara’s had a tough week this week, struggling with tiredness and lack of motivation. She’s also been craving Cream Eggs like nobody’s business. The prime suspect is that old buzzkill, the menstrual cycle. This gets us chatting about the phases of our periods, how to track them and how tricky understanding our bodies can be.
5K nutritionShe’s also been generally hungrier since the start of this training journey, so it’s time to talk about fuelling. What should we be eating before a run and how long do we need to wait before we go out? We offer Cara some advice before sending her off with a brand new running journal.
