The Women's Running Podcast

By: Esther Newman
  • Summary

  • 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. Get bonus content on Patreon

  • Ep 202. Strava, routine tests, why we run
    Jun 27 2024

    Welcome to episode 202 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.

    Strava

    We start on the thing that seems to have riled you the most – whether Holly’s Strava is working against her. We then talk about our running, and how that’s been going, what it’s like running in different cities.

    10K training

    We’re continuing to semi train for our London 10K in July, so in a bit of a stress we’ve downloaded a super quick 4-week training plan as we haven’t been taking things seriously enough. If you’re in the same position, we’re using a four-week 60-minute 10K training plan from the Women’s Running website (just here).

    Running Qs

    Then we’re bringing in some running questions – we’re going back to basics, and telling you guys why we run, and what we like about it. We’d love to hear your answers here too so do please get in touch with your why, and what you like about it!

  • Ep 201. 5K PBs, boring runners, events
    Jun 20 2024

    5K PBs

    In this episode we start off by talking about life (and death) getting in the way of running plans, and how we’re managing that. Holly’s also been chasing a 5K PB. We get very confused about Strava – so much so that it’s slightly upsetting. Can anyone illuminate us please?!

    Boring runners

    Then my next philosophical question is based on a conversation I had a few weeks back – are runners boring? Discuss! We are extremely worried that everything we do is in fact incredibly dull.


    Events

    To make things less dull, we move on to the stuff that other people have been talking about – your emails are the highlight of our very dull week. finally, some race news – I’m running a women’s-only 5K next week with RunThrough, and we’re both running the London 10K in July.

  • Ep 200. Celebrations, drinks, highlights
    Jun 13 2024

    Welcome to episode 200 of the Women’s Running podcast. This episode is sponsored by Runna. 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.

    200 celebrations

    Whoop whoop! It’s our 200th episode and we are celebrating in style with a drink and a bowl of peanuts and a little look back at some of our favourite moments over the last year or so. I start on a slightly cross note because of a convo I’d had at the weekend, where I was asked a question that I think sets the tone for our entire podcast.

    Favourite moments

    But once I’ve shed that baggage we’re on to the fun bit. What have been our most favourite pods over the past year or so? We start with a margarita, and end with an Aperol Spritz and in the middle of all of that we chat about our favourite bits, which includes the hang-glider face-off, Canal Boat Amy, the Paris Half with the Pod Squad massive, our trips to New York, and lots of toilet talk.
