Welcome to episode 294 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.

At the start and finish, we talk about running faster and how Hol’s running is going now, and I come back afterwards to talk about how my recovery is going, as well as to posit the theory that maybe we should all be running three times a week, and NO MORE.

In the middle we have a little treat for you in the shape of our chat with Sabrina Pace-Humphreys that we did during our event the night before the Bath Half. We took the opportunity to pick her brains about why she loves the Bath Half, as well as tips and tricks for half marathon running. Do make sure you pick up her new book, Start Where You Are!

Welcome to episode 293 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.

We’ve got a huge debrief for you – last weekend we had our live event, and that was followed the next day by Holly running the Bath Half alongside a bunch of Pod Squadders. And, without wanting to give anything away, we had a brilliant weekend! We chat through the thrills and spills of the Saturday event, which we LOVED doing, and Hol takes us step by step through her Bath Half. Listen out for a spectacular story that involves a banana – I shall say no more.

Welcome to episode 10 of a new series of podcasts from us at the Women’s Running Podcast, sponsored by Wahoo. I am your host Esther Newman and she is your other host Holly Taylor.

This is your half marathon bootcamp! And it’s for everyone who’s signed up to their first half marathon, or is attempting to get a better time next time round. In this series of 10 episodes, we will be covering everything from demystifying the types of running that will actually get you the results you want, to preventing niggles from cropping up along the way. We want to get us all to the start line with a smile on our faces!

In this last episode, we’re talking recovery. The bit that’s often left off your training plan. You’ve done a LOT of hard work, you’ve got through race day, and (hopefully) you’ve found a lovely space to show off your medal. But! The work isn’t quite over. Now it’s time to concentrate on everything you can do to support your body and mind in the hours, days and weeks post-race to make sure you come back even stronger. We’ve got everything you need right here.

We’ve loved doing this series, and we hope you’ve enjoyed listening to it just as much. Please join us over on our main pod, if this is where you’ve discovered us, for more chat about running (and not actually running). Meanwhile, we’re plotting our next 10-episode series, so let me know your preferred topics for that at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk – nutrition? Strength? Running faster? Running further? Drop us a line and we’ll get on to it. Right now, it’s on with the show!

Thank you for listening.
