In It For The Long Run

Hi

Hi

WELCOME BACKK!! So glad to have you back, we've loved every single episode so far this season and our favourite part about this episode was being able to give our true opinions unapologetically on SO many different viewpoints and our experiences with them - body neutrality, body dysmorphia, “my body is the least interesting thing about me”, body confidence fluctuations, our insecurities and of course our 2 recommendations!!

Hi, here we are, 1 year on … This journey has been far from easy over the past few months since we were last here talking about it (last season) but we've made a lot of progress mentally and physically, and we want to share this with you as we believe that seeing other people in a similar situation come out the other side is a massive confidence boost and can really spur you on to start recovery. Recovery is the best decision we ever made, and we hope for nothing more than for you to make that decision too. We all DESERVE food freedom. We love you ❤️❤️

Hey guys, welcome back to another episode!! This week we felt as though we needed a huge discussion on the many challenges we face as athletes trying to balance so many different aspects of life (and often failing) so join us in this episode where we (try) to combat these issues and enlighten you with our opinions about different topics and issues within athletics as a whole. This was a much needed chat and it was a good one ❤️❤️ instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast

HEY GUYS!! We're beyond excited to be back. We've been looking forward to this for months and we have so much to update you on, it's been a mad year! We can't wait for everyone to be back on the journey with us!! Also hope you like the new cover art

In today's episode we have Jiya join us! She is so knowledgable about menstrual health, especially in athletes. We talk about the basics of the female athlete triad, her journey with hypothalamic amenorrhoea due to her eating disorder and exercise addiction, everything that has changed for the better since regaining her period, advice for athletes to have a healthy period and also advice for coaches! She has worked with 2 doctors from India and Chicago to put together a very informative website which condenses all the science behind period loss in a very - easy to understand - way so be sure to check it out! And of course, fill out her survey (it only takes around 2 minutes!!)

Thanks for tuning into this weeks episode! We give you an update on Katie's discovery after last weeks doctor's visit and being treated like a “pin cushion” and discuss her dad's race (the Lakeland 100 miler) and then jump straight into our future race bucket list including the Mount Everest Marathon (!!!!) and the Midnight Sun Marathon in Norway where it is light for the entire day! Hopefully you can get some ideas from us and add them to your own racing bucket list and in a world post COVID and when we're a lot older, we could even do some of these races together!! We also included your race bucket list at the end of the episode so listen out for that! In the meantime, me sure to catch up with all of our other episodes!!

Hi guys, welcome back to another episode! For this week's episode we have a repeat guest on but this time, it's us discussing a topic that is very close to our hearts; dropout rate in sport. It's affected us all at one point or another, whether that be losing friends because they chose to quit, injuries, us putting too much pressure on ourselves or just finding it stressful to fit everything into our lives. This is a huge issue within sport that somehow needs to be changed so that everyone can be “in it for the long run”.

Hi guys! This weeks episode is a bit more of a serious one because we felt that after recent circumstances, a lot of things needed to be talked about and we wanted to normalise talking about serious topics in order to make them seem like less of a scary complex. We also shared a few polls to give you an idea of how other people in sport (that you know) are affected.

Today we explain the whole concept of hot girl summer and “that girl” TikToks in relation to sport and non-sport aspects of life. We have both been trying to spread ourselves too thin recently and so thought it was quite apt for this podcast. Hopefully in this episode you can learn how to have a “hot girl summer” without feeling the need to do anything that doesn't align with your values.

Hey guys! It's been 7 weeks and we're back! Today is an update podcast and it's been a bit of a bumpy ride to say the least since we last made an episode! We couldn't wait to be back filming though and we're more excited than ever to delve deeper into amazing sportsmen/women and to discuss topics we've never even touched on! Hope you enjoy and if you need any help or advice, feel free to dm us! instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

NOT LONG UNTIL SEASON 2 STARTS!!

It's officially our LAST EPISODE of series 1! And we LOVED it! We talked about everything possible to do with cycling, fell running, doing the exact same college course as Katie and travelling to ski & climb with college, parent's ultrarunning genes, GB plans and turning up to English Schools in your PE Kit! instagram.com/jonesdaphne3000 instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

Runners guilt (when you skip your run so you feel guilty); all runners go through this, right? But there's a line where it becomes an addiction. In this episode - as well as a little update into our lives - we talk about the pressures within our sport and just how harmful exercise addiction can be. So grab a choccy bicky and enjoy :) instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

Today we had the *much awaited* Arthur Ansell on the podcast and we talked about all things running in lockdown, training for PBs, lack of motivation in heat, injuries, the “Big Half” and so much more! He has such a good plans with his future in running and he has supported us every week with our podcast so it was great to have him on! We hope you enjoy the episode and see you soon for another episode! instagram.com/theaaman1 instagram.com/arthuransellrunning initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

Hi guys! Thank you so much for sticking around and listening to another episode; it means the world! Today we talked all about our experiences with injuries. For Ellie this was a much longer segment then we gave our *very valuable* tips for staying injury-free as we've learned A LOT along the way! instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

Today we're joined by Amy; Ellie's high school friend who talks to us about the basics of the Law of Attraction, manifestation, vision boards, crystals and getting to know your inner self during lockdown. It's quite a short episode as you'll need to watch “the Secret” to fully understand it. But sit back and enjoy the episode with an open-mind. instagram.com/amyystansfield instagram.com/underhereyepod instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/

This episode we're talking all things lockdown; running, injuries, school, social life and just us being emotional wrecks to be honest! We also share what we've been doing to keep busy and comment on the Olympic Marathon Trials and Lucy Bartholomew's HUGE trail race over in Australia! instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

OUR FIRST EVER GUEST!! We are so excited for this episode to go out as we have both said it's our favourite so far. We had SO much fun filming it as we are both friends with Sophie through Instagram and we discuss so many different topics on this episode! Also massive shoutout to Sophie as she's literally a better speaker than us! We hope you enjoy it and can't wait to hear your feedback! instagram.com/radishrunner instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

Today we discussed our futures in professional running, for Katie this is all things ultra, fells and mountains and for Ellie it's progressing from 5km to marathon on the road in addition to fell running! We are so so passionate about our future plans and we genuinely believe you can do anything if you truly believe in yourself! We hope you enjoyed the episode and our new starting feature and we are SO excited for our first guest next week so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it!! instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

All about maintaining good mental health (and not the stereotypes of drinking 2 litres of water and getting 8 hours of sleep). Hope you enjoyed the episode and please follow us on our Instagram. instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

Our second episode; welcome back! With last week being national eating disorder awareness week, we thought we would share our journeys regarding RED-S/eating disorders and how they've impacted us and our sports. This can be a touchy subject; however, it's important to normalise people speaking out about “taboo” topics like this. The pressure the media puts on young athletes, in particular women, is an issue that needs to addressed! So grab a cuppa (and a snack of course) and enjoy! instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs

This is our first EVER podcast episode together and we're so excited to share it with you; so grab a snack and take a seat, whilst you listen to the ins and outs of our running careers so far. Thank you so much and we hope you enjoyed listening. We're so excited for the future of this pod! Please let us know what you thought of the episode over on our Instagram; see you soon! instagram.com/initforthelongrunpodcast instagram.com/ellie.richardsonxx instagram.com/katieb.runs
