Welcome to episode 216 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.

So Holly has finally arrived in her new house, and as we all know a house move is a Big Change, so we talk about that and how she’s coping, aside from getting irritated with Doug.

On my side, I’ve got my Trail Escape marathon coming up this weekend, and I’m trying to suck up all the positive vibes without throwing too many of them in Holly’s face. There’s a lot to worry about, and I hope you can relate to some of them: the weather has been awful so I’m very worried about the mud, my hormones have been all over the place, and this cold won’t shift. All of which is adding up to a number of things that are out of my control come race day. But it’s not a race. It’s a run. And I can’t wait to report back next week.

Our subscription offer for the magazine has had a glow up: if you buy a year’s worth of Women’s Running magazine, you’ll save a whacking 30% AND you get a year’s subscription to running app Coopah, worth £59.99, absolutely free. Go to womensrunning.co.uk, click on SHOP and use the code X24WRPOD at the checkout. Or just go here.

Secondly, do hop on to Patreon and join us there, it’s only two quid a month, and if you do that you can join us – and the entire Pod Sqad massive – on Discord to show off your medals, be supported by, and support in return, your community. Go to patreon.com/womensrunning to find out more. I’ll shut up now.

We’re recording the day after completing the London Vitality 10,000 and we have a huge race report to give you – we talk about completing a 10K with not a huge amount of training, how strength training has helped with our running and our confidence.

We’ve got another Pod Squadder for you in our favourite segment where we talk to you and find out more about *your* running, so you’re not constantly listening to us and our running. This week we talk to gorgeous Martine from Guernsey who gives us all the Channel Island gossip. Martine went from zero to marathon in about five minutes, but has subsequently had to build up slowly again after significant injury. Lots to relate to here!

Now I keep on banging on about subscribing to Women’s Running magazine, but forgive me please, because a) it’s my job, and b) this is a ridiculous offer. Right now you can get your first six issues of Women’s Running for just £6! Go to womensrunning.co.uk, click on SHOP, and use the code SEP24WRPOD at the checkout. Or just go here.

Holly is feeling unwell, and is super-stressed with a house move, so there’s lots to talk about right away. And then of course it’s the London Vitality 10,000 this weekend, and it’s been suggested we run it in our pants. Of couse we jumped at the chance! Only joking. I’ll be running in a wetsuit as usual. If you’re coming, we can’t wait to see you there.

I’ve also been training for my trail marathon in October, which is a beautiful run organized by new event company Trail Escape – do check them out to see what’s coming up next year as I think they’re plotting some gorgeous events.

Then on to the big conversations – how do you feel about men taking their tops off in public (aside from at the beach). Holly is in the defense corner, and it doesn’t take long to work out why… Listen in for a surprise guest appearance.
