Welcome to episode 189 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.   Half training and physiosWe start by talking about running. I know. What have we become? I’ve been to the physio, so we have lots of dry needling things to discuss, and Holly’s training has been going annoyingly well.   We have a slight handbrake turn in the middle so we can discuss the stag-do that Doug’s going on, and the very real concerns for feminist, vegetarian men in 2024. Music in racesWe then get to chat about music during races – and I’m beginning to think I have a campaign here! And then we’re back into running, awful race photographs and letters from you guys and all sorts.
