The Women's Running PodcastSometimes we even talk about running Author: Esther Newman
Running is the one thing that we all like talking about. Every week on the award winning Womens 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 Womens Running podcast, and its for women who love to run. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Episode 299
Thursday, 30 April, 2026
Welcome to episode 299 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.Inca and Ellie updateApologies for recording quality of the first bit as Hol and I are sitting in a tiny room with big windows! To begin with, we join SportsShoes ambassadors Inca and Ellie again to find out how they did during the London Marathon over the weekend. If you remember, they were both gunning for sub-3 marathons. Spoiler: there are tears!Joe Wicks!And then we’re back to just the two of us for a long, rambling episode, which takes us immediately into a bit of Joe Wicks controversy, which we’re enjoying greatly, into some London Marathon content, a little bit of Greek romance, followed by some trail marathon ramblings and a bit of bad back stuff to finish off.
