Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the 7th episode in a special series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor.

In this podcast, we wanted to explore some of the things that we’ve talked about on our big podcast – that’s the Women’s Running podcast – that don’t necessarily have anything to do with running. Hol and I are natural born worriers, but with many of our worries, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts.

So for this series, we’re going to be chatting about the worries that make us feel that way.

If this episode resonates with you, or you have something you think we should talk about, then please email us at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk

We’re joined by dietitian Charlie Watson again here to talk about the biggest hot topic in the world of running – and that’s the worry about pooing ourselves. This is the one pod in the series where we focus on running, so apologies for anyone who isn’t a runner, but Charlie’s advice here is pertinent to all of us when it comes to our diets and unexpected reactions our bodies might take. We talk about the food we should be avoiding or eating before and during a run, and also behaviours we can adopt to reduce the chances of gastic distress.
