Welcome to episode 162 of the Women’s Running Podcast. Your hosts Esther Newman and Holly Taylor are both firmly average runners who don’t take life, or running, too seriously. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.

Today, we’re recording in person! Which is quite exciting, but a bit odd. We start by talking skanky university behaviour, with some next level tips on student cookery and some discussion on some sadly defunct fashion retailers.

London Vitality 10,000

Then it’s the main event – we’re taking on the London Vitality 10,000 this weekend, on September 24th. If you’re coming along, please join us by wearing a blue top if you have one, so we can look like a proper colour co-ordinated gang.

10K training tips

Ahead of the Vitality, we look at some 10K training tips and also some things to bear in mind in the last week before the race.

Special 10K magazine

To help with all of that, we have just launched our brand new special edition of Women’s Running, which is called How To Run 10K – and we are *so* proud of it! It’s everything you need if you want to run 10K for the first time, or you want to run your fastest ever PB – it’s all in there! And along with that we’ve got our first bit of merch in the shape of Pod Squad tees. Go to shop.womensrunning.co.uk and head to Extras for tees, and Single Issues for the mag.

Join us!
