GarminWe dive straight into your emails as we’ve had loads as a result of our chat about Garmin. You have had a lot of thoughts and have lots of ideas about hacking your Garmin content so that it feels as though it’s supporting you rather than berating you - we both have a lot to learn here. But is it enough to persuade Holly to wear her Garmin again?
Then there’s a bit of a trigger warning, as we discuss weightloss and slimming organisations, at about 25 minutes in for about 10 minutes. So do please skip if this is not useful or appropriate for you.
Running controversiesWe then also talk about a couple of running controversies that have been floating about on social media over the past couple of weeks. We would love to know your thoughts on annoying running influencers and that old chestnut: dog owners

Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the fifth 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, or get an expert on to discuss, then please email us at [email protected]
In this episode we’re joined by Charlie Watson. If you’re a runner, you might know her better as Runner Beans, a serial marathoner. What you might not also know is that she’s an NHS dietician and she writes lots of brilliant articles for us on nutrition. We wanted to ask her one of our biggest worries – should we be as concerned as media tells us we should be about the amount of sugar we eat? We talk about PCOS, about our diets generally, and about restricting sugar and carbohydrates (or not).

Hol and I have had very busy weeks, and very different ones. I talk about running abroad, as well as running with kids – with varying degrees of success. And while I was gadding about in Denmark, Holly has had a super busy week, dealing with dramatic injuries and last-minute requests to be on the actual telly, I hope you all spotted her.
London MarathonAside from her burgeoning media career, Holly is getting increasingly anxious about running the London Marathon, so we talk about how she’s going to deal with that anxiety and how she’s going to approach her training.

In 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?

Roast dinnersWe’re discussing the hottest topic in running– where to get the best post-run roast in the Bath area. Running is optional. This is all on the back of us talking about nutrition and the best things to eat before, during and after a run.
Small aside here: we talk about food you should and shouldn’t eat in pregnancy and I truly don’t know what I’m talking about – please take no medical advice from me.
Running nutritionSo what do we eat before our runs, and during them, and are these the right things? And of course because we’re talking about food, we end up talking about ALL food.
We also continue, by way of your emails, our conversation about neurodivergent runners. Please forgive any amateur chats about ADD and ADHD; we are totally unqualified but very curious to find out more from you. Do email us at [email protected] with more on this – we would love to hear from you.

Marathon times and GarminToday we’re talking about predicted marathon times, and whether we should be realistic or whether we should aim high. And we also chat about Garmin, and all the stats we have access to via our watches, and what access to those stats does to our anxiety levels. Hol is finding it particularly hard, so we chat about ways in which we can manage that data (or not look at it at all). Advice on tech is, as always, very welcome!

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, and we’ve realized that in almost every episode, we talk about at least one of those worries – and we also realized that with many of them, 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, and for some of them we’re going to be bringing in experts to dispel those concerns. 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 [email protected]
AgingIn this episode, we’re dealing with something I’m terrified of, which is aging. And, we’ve brought along the glorious Dr Juliet McGrattan to talk sense, dispel myths and make us feel empowered, when we ask her, Am I nuts for worrying about aging?

We’re sitting on Holly’s sofa in her brand new home, having a few technical issues. Do please note at this point: when Holly talks about staining her sofa, what she means is she spilled coffee all over it – nothing more sinister.
Gym and strengthWe’re catching up seconds after I’ve had my very first session down the gym, so we talk about strength training, and gymtimidation, and all that kind of stuff.
Royal ParksAnd then I’ve got lots to talk about as I’ve just returned from the Royal Parks Half, which I want to thoroughly debrief – if you ran it too, do please get in touch and let us know what your experiences were as well.
We have just enough time to talk about a brand new running controversy and the inherent sexism in race cut-off times, so we get quite hot under the collar.

But it turns out there was no need – I had an absolute ball, which is probably a spoiler but I don’t care.
Trail Escape race reportSo here is my race report in full, from the shuttle bus on the way there, to the marshalls, to the toilets, to the medals. I am full of the joy of running a race with walkers and runners, with no pressure, where the sun was shining and every runner was getting cheered at the end.

House moveSo Holly has finally arrived in her new house, and as we all know a house move is a Big Change, so we talk about that and how she’s coping, aside from getting irritated with Doug.
Marathon nervesOn my side, I’ve got my Trail Escape marathon coming up this weekend, and I’m trying to suck up all the positive vibes without throwing too many of them in Holly’s face. There’s a lot to worry about, and I hope you can relate to some of them: the weather has been awful so I’m very worried about the mud, my hormones have been all over the place, and this cold won’t shift. All of which is adding up to a number of things that are out of my control come race day. But it’s not a race. It’s a run. And I can’t wait to report back next week.

London Vitality 10,000We’re recording the day after completing the London Vitality 10,000 and we have a huge race report to give you – we talk about completing a 10K with not a huge amount of training, how strength training has helped with our running and our confidence.
Tales from the PodWe’ve got another Pod Squadder for you in our favourite segment where we talk to you and find out more about *your* running, so you’re not constantly listening to us and our running. This week we talk to gorgeous Martine from Guernsey who gives us all the Channel Island gossip. Martine went from zero to marathon in about five minutes, but has subsequently had to build up slowly again after significant injury. Lots to relate to here!

Big changeHolly is feeling unwell, and is super-stressed with a house move, so there’s lots to talk about right away. And then of course it’s the London Vitality 10,000 this weekend, and it’s been suggested we run it in our pants. Of couse we jumped at the chance! Only joking. I’ll be running in a wetsuit as usual. If you’re coming, we can’t wait to see you there.
Trail MarathonI’ve also been training for my trail marathon in October, which is a beautiful run organized by new event company Trail Escape – do check them out to see what’s coming up next year as I think they’re plotting some gorgeous events.
Bloody menThen on to the big conversations – how do you feel about men taking their tops off in public (aside from at the beach). Holly is in the defense corner, and it doesn’t take long to work out why… Listen in for a surprise guest appearance.

New termI’ve had a stressful start to Sept, but finished off the first week with a very un-Esther trip to a spa, and have some thoughts on it. We also have another look at the 5K running controversy from a couple of months ago as we’ve had a lot of emails from you guys and we want to hear them and talk about them,
Controversy and TVWe also talk about menopause, and another point of view that we hadn’t considered that raises some extremely valid points. And you know I always talk about how we talk about last night’s tv in the preamble. Well, here we talk about last night’s TV. Fill your boots.
Tales from the PodAnd in a new Tales from the Pod section, we talk to gorgeous Pod Squadder Alice who ran with us in Paris last year, and has been a firm fixture on the Pod Squad scene ever since. Alice’s fitness story started with scuba diving – scary seal stories ahoy!

London Vitality 10,000We’re back from all our various holidays and have much to discuss. First up, though, a quick reminder that we’re running the London Vitality 10,000 on Sunday 22nd September – if you’re running too, come and meet us at our lovely Women’s Running tent, and run with us in the Smiles for Miles wave!
Holiday runningHoliday running has had some figurative and literal ups and downs, so we talk about hills and hard running, and how to cope with the plan when you’ve not been able to stick to the plan, like I have.
Body neutralityBecause of a narrow escape at a naturist beach, we then move on to body neutrality and how to find acceptance and gratitude for our bodies rather than peering at them with disgust in the mirror.

Welcome to episode 211 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.
Physio successIn big news, Holly has been to the physio, and as a result she’s been spending a bit of money buying her first indoor gym kit, which unsurprisngly leads me on to being a bit teachery and chatting about kettle bells at length (sorry).
Running and illnessThen we move on to running and illness – I have a theory and would love to know your thoughts on it. Is running when you’re ill actually *good* for you?
MenopauseWe have bit of menopause chat because a recent conversation made me realise that we’re not talking enough to our younger friends and family members about the menopause – symptoms are still confusing us, especially when we’re younger than we think is the classic menopause age. Let’s get educating!
ControversyFinally we address the running controversy that we spoke about a couple of weeks ago, when I ran a women’s only 5K that was also run by a handful of men. We slagged them off a few weeks ago, but now we’ve received an email that sets us straight (at least for one brilliant man). Listen through to find out more!

London Vitality 10,000We have a special guest for you today in the shape of the very brilliant Helen Thorn, you lucky things. Comedian, author, amazing runner, and now triathlete, we’re lucky to count her as a Friend of the Pod. She is dialling in from her holiday in Cornwall, especially to join up with us to shout about the London Vitality 10,000 which we’re running together on September 22nd – and you can run with us if you’re quick! We’ve been told that there are a few spaces remaining to run in our Smiles for Miles wave, which we’re running with Helen and Bryony Gordon firmly at the back of the pack, and we’d love to have you with us. We’ll be celebrating in Green Park before and after, and it won’t be the same without you!
Strength trainingBefore and after our chat with her, we’re trying to do our best with our strength training, and I do my thing of offering lots of unwarranted advice to Holly while not actually doing any exercises myself. When we come back in the room after Helen we have a chat about the books we’ve been reading and listening to. Lots of ideas here for those of you who listen to books on runs, and please give us all your ideas too!

Holiday runningWe’re back after a bit of a break (that hopefully you won’t have noticed, but obviously the timings of the last few podcasts have been all over the place). We’re both sounding rough as badgers; me cos of a virus, Hol cos of a two-day hangover. All very standard.
We talk through all of Hol’s debauchery. We also talk about my running in Cornwall and France, which results in a proper Poo Story, which I’m sure you’ll all sympathise with. Listen out for Hol’s top tips on sharing a bathroom btw!
Pod Squad tales from the Pod!In our new Pod Squad segment, we talk to the glorious Marte from Belgium, who ran with us in New York, and also again at the London 10K and AGAIN at Endure 24. She talks to us about how she got into running, and her favourite races so far.

Strength for runnersThe main part of this podcast is all about a runner’s worst nightmare: STRENGTH. We knew we personally needed to dedicate some time to this, and we have a feeling that you guys wouldn’t mind a bit of direction too. So we talk to gorgeous, talented and wonderful Kate Sellers, friend of the pod, fabulous PT and also member of the Women’s Running team. We wanted to drag her on to talk about all things strength – what we should be doing, when, and how. And Kate has come up with the goods – if you want the building blocks of her training plan we detail it below.
The exercises
3 sets x 8 reps. Rest for 20 seconds between each set:
Squats, Reverse Lunges, Deadlift (Glute bridge if bodyweight)
3 sets x 8 reps. Rest for 20 seconds between each set:
Push-ups , Over-head press (with cans of beans if no weights), Lateral raises (with cans of beans if no weights)
4 sets x 12 reps. Rest for 20 seconds between each set:
Standing marches, Deadbugs, Lying back extensions
