The Women's Running Podcast

Welcome to episode 325 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.

Dublin debrief

So here we are, and it’s three days after the Dublin marathon, and we have a FULL debrief for you – long episode ahoy! Before we even get started, please listen through to the end because we have a HUGE announcement about next year that we know you’ll want to hear. And yes, it’s related to the whole Dublin thing… Otherwise, I’m going to keep this short, because we have so much to talk about, and frankly, I need to stand up because my legs have stopped working.

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.

Taper and Nike

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!

Welcome to episode 323 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.

Good runner, bad runner

Today, we’re talking about running after a heavy night, and the power of strength in combatting niggles. Do please send thoughts and prayers still to ensure I get to the start line of Dublin – I am absolutely terrified, but trying to do all the right things! Mostly that means not running. But also planning my Jeffing strategy. We also talk about Spencer Matthews (not a fan) and Esmee Gummer (a HUGE fan).

Welcome to episode 322 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.

Looooooong runs

Our last long sessions have been ticked off the plan, so there’s a lot of training and recovery to talk about. Lots of chat about fuelling strategies and running maths, which is the worst kind. No one’s getting any A-stars around here. But also lots of excitement about the trip itself, whether or not I actually make it round the course. I’m trying to do what the physio has told me to do, and I’m also trying to avoid running. The most terrifying build up to a marathon ever!

Welcome to episode 321 of the Women’s Running podcast, or what I’ve decided to call the Dusty Bin episode (joke purely for Generation X Brits, not even apologising for it). 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.

Race results

Today, we’re talking through some of the races and results that have been going on in the world, from the Berlin marathon to the V10K. And then we quickly get on to running – I’ve had a bit of setback and I need all your good vibes, please. A bit of a calf strain has sent me running to the physio (if not actually running). Will I make it to the start line of Dublin marathon? Holly is also having issues, but of the gastric variety. Yum. We are firmly in the pits of training right now – send thoughts and prayers

Magazine goodness!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

Welcome to episode 316 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.

Relaxing! And running!

We’re going to leave some technical hoo-has in this ep, so you get a tantalising glimpse behind the fourth wall (oooh!). But then, because I’m on holiday, we talk about what relaxing actually looks like – if anyone has any great ideas, do please let me know. We then talk about how the first few weeks of our marathon training has been going and all the worries that go with that.

Welcome to the 9th 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!

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 9th episode, we’re talking acronyms. We want you to feel like a native down the gym, so this is our guide to figuring out your RDLs from your RPEs. As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week is one of those ones it is glorious to know – the Romanian Deadlift – or RDL to give it its acronym – is one of those ones you’ll often hear talked about down the gym or online, and I wanted to gift this one to you so you can see firstly, how great it is, and secondly, you can throw acronyms about down the gym with abandon. It’s like a new language! This one is brilliant for your posterior chain, everything from your lower back down to your feet. Juicy bum ahoy!

To help you get stronger this summer, we’ve got a brilliant deal on Women’s Running magazine.

Welcome to episode 315 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.

Heat, ADHD

We’re talking about how the heat is affecting us (we’re recording in the middle of the fifth heat wave), and we have more updates on our running now that we’re emerging into the slightly spicy section of our marathon training plans. We then do a deeply controversial thing and rank race distances from best to worst! You will NOT agree! Tell us your thoughts! We also revisit our chat about ADHD and generally about neurodiversity in running. Just a note here, we are only talking about our own experiences and are not experts by any means.

Welcome to the 8th 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 will be here every week on a Wednesday, 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

Goals

In our 8th episode, we’re talking about goals! How do we give our strength training some purpose? As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week is the humble tricep dip. This simple exercise is easy to master, but gives fantastic bang for your buck . We talk through best form, and all you need to do to progress and grow those tricep muscles.

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.

Welcome to episode 314 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.

Marathon!

We’re talking about our marathon training, and how that’s been going with all our travels over the summer. And because we’re talking about our marathon training, we feel like we need to fess up about what our marathon actually IS. I can’t say here because this is the intro, and where’s the fun in that? But we do say on the pod – not gonna tell you when, you have to listen to all our ramblings first, so there. For the first time ever, though, we’re not having a wobble about getting to the finish, we’re having a wobble about getting to the start…

Magazine!

Welcome to the 7th 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 will be here every week on a Wednesday, 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

Nutrition

In our 7th episode, we’re talking about food! What can we eat to support our training? Do we all need to be drinking protein shakes now? As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week sounds intriguing: it’s the disgustingly named (but incredibly effective) Dead Bug. We talk through best form, and all you need to do to progress this exercise to get a core of steel.

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.

Welcome to episode 313 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.

Marathon madness

We start with a little bit of pooing on the run content, before we launch into our BIG NEWS. Shan’t let the cat out of the bag in the show notes, as that’s no fun at all, but suffice to say we don’t have much time to train for something rather large looming in October. We talk through our rubbish plans right here. Small technical difficulties aside, we move on to huge feats of endurance over in the US, namely Badwater 135, the details of it, the myths and scandals around it, and whether or not we would ever consider doing it ourselves (um, NOPE).

Welcome to the 6th 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.

In our 6th episode, we’re talking about the bit that everyone avoids, but we should all be focusing on – namely, flexibility and mobility. As ever we chat to Kate at the end of the episode to answer your strength questions. Your homework this week is one of my absolute favourites -the glute bridge. We talk through the best form, so all you have to do is squeeze and hold. 3 lots of 10 slow reps is a good place to start, before you begin to add weight.

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.

ADHD

The summer holidays have started and we have thoughts about how we’re all managing that – I hope you’re all surviving and perhaps even enjoying these first few weeks. So lots to logistically negotiate, especially when it comes to running. We’re talking also cryptically about our next goals – all to be revealed soon, and how we’re navigating training over the summer with all these life things getting in the way. We go back to our chat about supplements, and we have a really interesting piece on running and ADHD to chat through. Link to that in the show notes.

Welcome to the 5th 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 will be here every week on a Tuesday, 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

Gym confidence

In our FIFTH episode, we’re talking about how to build up the confidence to get started in the gym. We speak to Kate at the end of the episode with a couple of burning questions, namely, will we get bulky if we lift weights, and do we need to change our strength workouts as we get older. The homework exercise focuses on a brilliant upper body exercise – the overhead press. We talk through correct form, with lots of different variations, as always starting with a very accessible move. This week, let’s try doing 3 sets of 10. And that’s it!
