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 7. The Strength Project: nutrition
Episode 7
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
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.ukNutritionIn 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.
