About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss their recent award, the London Marathon ballot, and the logistics of running two marathons back to back.

Welcome to episode 310 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. The ballot! It’s one of those weeks where we think there’s not a lot to talk about, and then it turns out there is! For a start, we’ve gone and won ourselves an award – and one that’s, shockingly, in recognition of our services to sports podcasting! Ha! My, how we laughed. But we have a proper trophy and everything. And then we’re on to the mega debate of the London Marathon double – the ballot was last week, and I reckon approximately 2 of you got in. So well done you two! But before we get there, let’s discuss the logistics, the costs and the impact of running two major marathons back to back. We finish, as you might expect, on the very serious topic of reptile migratory patterns. The mag!
