Welcome to a brand new special series of podcasts, brought to you by the Women’s Running Podcast, and sponsored by Vivobarefoot. This is a ten-part special in which we introduce our friend and colleague Cara, who is keen to take on 5K with our help. 

Run 5K with us

Fancy joining along? Grab hold of your perfect training plan here. There are lots to choose from, but for our sessions with Cara, we’re taking on the 10-week 5K training plan for beginners.

Week 9:

Run 1: 25 minute run

Run 2: 25 minute run

Run 3: 28 minute run

Wet weather running

It’s been tipping it down this week so, naturally, we’re chatting about all the ways we can dodge the weather. Cara’s been braving the elements in her normal running kit, but wants advice on waterproof jackets and caps.

Sweating

Rain isn’t the only thing we’re drenched in this week. We talk embarrassing moments with sweat and how to combat them, as well as why we should wear our sweaty heads as a badge of honour.
