Ep 275. Ultras, 10Ks, Traitors

Welcome to episode 275 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.

Parenting woes

First a shout out to all parents navigating the November/December schooltime panic, which I’m getting my knickers in a twist about. Then we catch up on what you’ve been saying about how to get to the start of your first ultra.

Traitors

Before a whacking great spoiler alert, cos of Traitors. We talk about the final a LOT, which we both loved.

Training load

Then we’re on to current training load – Hol’s on the road to a 10K PB (wish her luck!), while I’m on the road to injury (also wish me luck)

Don’t forget to listen to Am I Nuts on a Monday – this week we’re talking about flexibility, next week we’re moving on to booze.
