I discovered this podcast over a year ago after getting back into running. Esther, Holly and sometimes guests are always interesting. Sometimes I laugh, nod and smile along with their stories and running adventures. My mother is British so even in the USA I appreciate many of their references. I...Read full review »

I recently discovered the Womens Running pod (and subscribed to the great magazine that goes with it): This is hands-down the best way to get me out the door for a long run: cue up a few episodes and off I go, with warm, funny, encouraging company and wise words that are occasionally even about...Read full review »

I’m so excited to have found this podcast! I’ve listened to a couple of the earlier episodes and I feel like I’ve stumbled across a gold mine! It’s exactly what I need since starting running again after a 10 year break (and now being in my early 40’s and 3 children later, it’s a whole different...Read full review »

Fantastically relevant podcast to the “everyday” woman runner! Encouraging and lovely! I think people must think I’m mental as I usually listen to this on slow recovery runs or driving home and always laugh out loud during the funny bits.

I’ve always been relatively fit but not a runner! I’ve just started my running journey at the ripe old age of 42. This podcast gives me so much inspiration! As well as making me laugh and providing lots of nostalgia (I’m a Brit living in Aus) I cannot wait to run so I can listen to this. I have...Read full review »

Love love love this podcast. The 2 hosts chat about everything - running and day to day life. I love this format, love running but want more than that from a podcast. Always save these for my long runs. Can’t make enough of them!
Gilly Aus via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/28/24
Really enjoy this podcast - has become my Friday morning routine to listen on my long run. As a slower more mature and rounder lady runner it’s great to feel that there is space for me in the sport. Esther and Holly really support and encourage this as a lot of the things they discuss are what...Read full review »

This podcast has truly made me believe in myself and changed my whole mind set on running. As a larger woman constantly suffering injuries, the whole walk/run for a time has been a game changer. The ladies brutal honesty is resonating and I really believe that they support all runners/women no...Read full review »

It is like having a running group chat when you are running on your own. I appreciate the honest talk about women’s health and running. The running talk is solid and it touches on a lot of areas that I don’t hear on other podcast. The hosts are wonderful. Ester has run for a while and brings up...Read full review »

Started listening to this wonderful podcast a year ago when I started training. Best enjoyed during a long run, as they can make the hard slog joyful and filled with laughs. It’s like running with your mates. Good mix of technical talk and real life talk for everyday runners.
AussieHells via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/12/23
The most relatable running podcast I’ve found - great balance of running chat and general natterings.
Alexpl6 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/29/23
This show is the highlight of my week! I don’t even consider myself a runner as I’ve just started and tend to miss half the workouts I plan. But these ladies keep my laughing the whole time, share relatable feelings, / struggles / fears of working out, and inspire me to continue on my running...Read full review »

I’ve only been running for a year, and have been looking for a good podcast to keep me focused and excited about running. These two are great, they talk about real life and how running fits into their life, which is perfect for a beginning runner like me. I love how honest they are about the...Read full review »

Enjoyable podcast, amusing and chilled out. Thanks ladies!
Lilly907 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/10/23
This is by far my favourite podcast, it’s just hilarious and so relatable, I have to save it for my long runs , on many occasions I have laughed outrageously out loud, whilst running along, i have recommended it to all my friends even the non runners as it’s as enjoyable for them as us runners
irish jojo via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 05/25/23
I was a bit late to this podcast so I had loads to listen to but now I’m caught up and I’m gutted I have to wait for 2 weeks the next one. I love that these girls are genuine they’re so honest about how they’re feeling which is a breath of fresh air. There are ups and downs with emotions so one...Read full review »

This podcast is by far the most refreshing and uplifting running podcast I’ve listened to. It is relatable but also realistic and offers real world advice as well as snorts and belly laughs. Would 100% recommend if you like running alone but with company through your headphones. Thank you Holly...Read full review »

This podcast is the most funny, honest and lovable podcast I have listen too. Each week I come back and am guaranteed to laugh, feel normal, be inspired and part of a Community where running isn’t the only thing on the menu!
janicefairbairn0703 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/22/23
Esther and Holly bring the important stuff to this podcast. This is the only podcast where I can laugh and cry in equal measure because I identify with what they talk about, both running and non-running related. Struggling with running? They’ve got your back. Need inspiration? Find it here! Want...Read full review »

I stumbled across this only a few months ago. Late adopter to podcasts. Love Holly and Esther and their randomness. It makes me lol, smile, nod my head like one of those lucky cats….just brilliant. Even convinced my non-runner partner to listen and she enjoys it too. Let’s be honest, running is...Read full review »

Great for my weekend long runs as I train for a half marathon. Just the right amount of run chat to other talk - all funny, relatable, interesting etc! Makes me feel like I’m going for a run with friends.
Helsosg via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/23
I love listening to Holly and Esther! Love listening to the pod on my long Saturday morning run! Great company for when I’m also working from home. It’s like having a coffee with friends. Please keep the mix of content! It’s relatable to all levels of runners!
Wannabe good runner! via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/23
I listen to lots of running podcasts, most whilst enjoyable, are very serious and full stories of elite runners and pro tips. This is my favourite by far. Esther and Holly are both so relatable it’s like having a weekly catch up with your two best mates. I love their honesty about their fears...Read full review »
Cat_1969 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/17/23
I love this podcast because I don’t have anyone to run with and none of my friends are into running so listening to Holly and Esther is like being with your mates who love running as much as you do. I love how inclusive they are (the running chat isn’t all about PBs, the focus is on enjoying your...Read full review »

This podcast is a mix of running advice for the average runner and chatting about women’s issues. It’s like going out with your best running friend for a coffee or a pint!
Shannon20370 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/23
I listen to this on my long runs, it’s not just about running it’s just like listening to friends chatting- just what I need! ( even if I look stupid laughing to myself) It recently got me through the Birmingham half. Keep up the good work!!
Sjh74 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/15/23
Love the mix of life and running chat with the emphasis, more often than not, being on life. Esther and Holly are so relatable and sound like they’re just chatting to friends. I value this community as much as any running club.
Scarlet's Mum via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/15/23
So Fi & Jane “Fortunately” have disappeared (Radio 4) but I have found Esther & Holly. They are a riot together and sometimes even chat about running. I did listen to the podcast awhile back, with just Esther & it was a good listen but now with Holly it’s hilarious. I love them both...Read full review »
addicted to Pdcsts via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/15/23
Love listening to this on my long runs - fun, informative and really down to earth. Esther and Holly are so relatable - going through the same ups and downs as the rest of us. Yes there’s non running chit chat but that makes it even more enjoyable especially when out on a long run. Unlike a lot...Read full review »
kimb0lene via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/14/23
I have listened to every episode of this podcast and frankly it’s made me feel like a better runner. It is a great podcast about running which is not very serious and they talk about the struggles they have. Most running podcasts sometimes makes you feel like that every day runner is not good...Read full review »

Every week I look forward to listening to this podcast. It feels like going out for a good catch up with a couple of friends who are also into running! My favourite running related podcast by a mile!
ccannell via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/14/23
I love listening to this on my runs. So relatable. Perfect balance of running chat, life chat and fun !!! Just like the chats that I would have when running with friends. But when listening to this, I feel like I am running with friends.
TS Hants 73 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/13/23
I look forward to this podcast every Thursday. It has me chuckling at work (although I should save it for my SLR but can never wait that long). I find other running podcasts make me feel a bit inadequate, but Holly and Esther are encouraging and relatable and aren’t afraid to tell it like it is....Read full review »

I just love this pod. It’s like a catch up with friends with a great mix of chat, gossip, laughs oh and running. I look forward to it every week. Thanks Esther and Holly for being open, vulnerable and genuine on an accessible platform that all can enjoy.
