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.

Ep 4. Am I Nuts... to worry about booze?
Episode 4
Monday, 10 November, 2025
Welcome to the second series of Am I Nuts. This is the fourth episode in a series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor. Are we nuts?In this series, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, and we’ve realized that in almost every episode, we talk about at least one of those worries – and we also realized that with many of them, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts. If you have something you think we should talk about, then please email us at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk AlcoholIn this fourth episode, we wonder if we’re nuts to worry about booze. Trigger warning here: we’re talking about alcohol and addiction. Do we drink too much? What does alcohol do to our bodies? How does that change as we age? What do we think about sobriety? In this episode we’re talking about our own relationships with booze and how that’s changed over the years – there is no advice or judgement. I’ve listed a few brilliant places to go online in the show notes for support and advice if you or a loved one is struggling with alcohol. Pick up Women's RunningThank you so much for listening.
