Welcome to episode 185 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.
In this episode we talk about nerves and anxiety on a run, and also we chunter on a bit about how sleep unsurprisingly can have a huge effect on our running and our moods.
We also talk about kit, and the shoes we currently like to run in; the latest ones that I’ve been able to plod in have been a total revelation, as I didn’t think they were designed for runners like me, but in turns out that they are!
We talk about support on race day from family and friends, and how we mentally cope with doing hard things without the support crew – to be honest, I feel so much better about this now, because we have such a strong community with the Pod Squad (that’s you guys, that is).
And we’ve got just enough time to get excited about New York, our half marathon in April which is fast approaching. We’re getting very close to last-chance saloon now – so if you’ve been sitting on the fence, do please sign up before the offer closes, as it would be wonderful to have you there! We talk about everything we’re looking forward to, which mostly includes the huge margaritas we had last time.
