Welcome to episode 191 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.
Avoiding parkrun
Holly’s been on a hen do and has managed to avoid going to parkrun, or in fact run at all for a whole five days. And does she feel guilty? No she does not. She explains why here, but it also leads us neatly on to how we’re going to be fitting in our last long runs ahead of the New York half.
Average paces
We talk about my worries about my fitness dropping, and where we both are if we look at average paces, which is supposed to cheer us up but sort of doesn’t.
Tapering
We also, in light of the above, have a chat about tapering and what we should be doing before our half marathon in New York with Sports Tours International.
