About this episode

The episode discusses the risks of obsessive health tracking in running culture, featuring Jenny Mannion's experience with a 100km race and her plans for a female-only run club.

Is the fitness world over-optimising itself into the ground? This week I'm joined by runfluencer Jenny Mannion to unpack the Stephen Bartlett wine controversy and what it says about obsessive health tracking in running and wider fitness culture. Plus — Jenny opens up about her 100km ultra DNF which led to her visiting A&E... Jenny also explains plans to build the next 'parkrun' but female only!
