Ep 305. Illness and Global Running Day

About this episode

The episode discusses health issues affecting training, the challenges of Global Running Day, and women's health awareness.

Welcome to episode 305 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.   Gut issues Hol is in the trenches – we speak to her after a very unpleasant food-related illness. Don’t worry, she’s fine! But it’s definitely affected her training this week… I, on the other hand, have been an absolute hero, I don’t mind saying, camping in the rain AND bashing out a long run. Then we get on to the stuff that makes us rage, amongst which is the forced fun of Global Running Day. Plus a bit more rage about women’s health and the lack of knowledge around it all… Get the mag for cheap! If you’re fond of this pod, you are going to LOVE Women’s Running Magazine.
