I don't want to give away too much here, but as Hol says at the beginning we might need to add a little trigger warning: we are painfully aware that we are still in marathon season and if you've got one coming up, please don't think that our experience is indicative of every marathon runner. We all run our own race, right? Yours will be incredible.

On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.MaranoiaAs we get closer to Marathon Day, our maranoia has reached epic proportions. We talk about comparing ourselves to other runners on social media, about not matching our training plans, and about the fear of the last long runs.We have Jordan with us today, thankfully, so after 20 minutes of pure waffle, she stands in as Agony Aunt to give us a much-needed dose of reality in the face of our raging maranoia. Have we done enough mileage? Have we actually run enough? Have we eaten the things we should have eaten? Have we rested enough? We talk about logistics, we talk about crying, and the wobbles we have about those last long runs.Finish line proposalsAfter we chat to Jordan, we are back to talk about another controversy – and we would love to hear your thoughts. This isn't Lisbon this time, this is the practice of finish line proposals. What do you think?!

Welcome to episode 242 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.MaranoiaAs we get closer to Marathon Day, our maranoia has reached epic proportions. We talk about comparing ourselves to other runners on social media, about not matching our training plans, and about the fear of the last long runs.We have Jordan with us today, thankfully, so after 20 minutes of pure waffle, she stands in as Agony Aunt to give us a much-needed dose of reality in the face of our raging maranoia. Have we done enough mileage? Have we actually run enough? Have we eaten the things we should have eaten? Have we rested enough? We talk about logistics, we talk about crying, and the wobbles we have about those last long runs.Finish line proposalsAfter we chat to Jordan, we are back to talk about another controversy – and we would love to hear your thoughts. This isn't Lisbon this time, this is the practice of finish line proposals. What do you think?!

After a bit of nonsense about Holly's verbal diarrhea on whatsapp voicenotes (which I really think is the Podcast Moment of the Year).We talk to Jordan about our race day experiences at the Bath Half – no spoilers but there is a LOT to discuss; from the race village to the run itself, how we've recovered since, and how drunk we got in the pub. As I say: lots to discuss.Lisbon controversyAnd then on to a HUGE controversy which we dive into, which is all about the experiences of runners at the Lisbon Half.

We're straight into it, thinking about resolutions and running, and annoying emails from people who expect me to run a marathon with about two weeks training. We do eventually get on to running you'll be pleased to hear to chat about Hol's training – only to have a moan about why some runs seem easier than others for no apparent reason. We talk for AGES about Gavin & Stacey, all pretty standard, but leads me on to a ramble about Eldorado – apols for anyone born after 1973 for that one. We have a bit more 2024 quiz, which shames me into admitting zero knowledge of US politics, or indeed UK, while remembering the birthday of Mel C.

Friendship groups wax and wane, but sometimes it can be easy to compare ourselves with TV programmes and stuff online that suggests that we “should” have hundreds of close friends. We delve into how our groups have changed since childhood, the feelings that make us feel inadequate in terms of our friends, and what we do to support the friendships that we have. We also talk about the concept of a “best friend” and whether that's something that grown-up women need, as well as the difference between men's friendships and women's friendships.Join us!Am I Nuts is brought to you by the Women's Running podcast – do please check it out wherever you listen to your podcasts for longer episodes to keep you company while you run.

Lack of sleep can affect all of us at one time or another, for myriad external and internal reasons. Obviously there's that time around early parenthood, but also perimenopause, general aging, anxiety and mental health that can affect all of us. But I've been getting worried about how insomnia can have a more long-term effect on our physical health. We talk about the risks of lack of sleep, but also oversleeping, occasional sleep deprivation, strategies for overcoming occasional insomnia.

Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the fourth 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.To coincide with World Mental Health Day this  October, 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, or get an expert on to discuss, then please email us at wrpodcast@anthem.co.ukIn this episode we talk about our worries about what other people think of us. We're often told on social media that we shouldn't worry about what other people are thinking because we literally can't control it, but it's something that in we want to discuss as we worry about it all the time! Are we nuts for worrying about other people's opinions? Am I Nuts is brought to you by the Women's Running podcast – do please check it out wherever you listen to your podcasts for longer episodes to keep you company while you run.
