Welcome to episode 171 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.

Marathon recovery

After some over excited chat about meal delivery companies, we get on to the important stuff – marathon recovery. I’ve had a bit of a time of it, with my lungs not getting back up to speed as quickly as I’d like.

Self care

As per usual, we quickly get on to me punishing myself, Holly suggesting a bit of self care, and me not knowing who I am unless I’m running. It’s a story as old as time! Or at least as old as this podcast. We’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

US toilet humour

Also, we have a few letters, some of which are about the Toilet Situation in the US, which has had us shook since we returned a few weeks ago.
