Ep 197. Running controversies
Manage episode 419801296 series 2795715
Welcome to episode 197 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.
Emotional load
There’s a lot of chat that doesn’t touch on running to begin with, as Holly has had another exciting weekend, and I’ve been having some stressed parenting moments, which leads into some general emotional load chat. Please relate to one of us!
Running questions
Then we finally get on to some running, and we have questions for you as a result – what do you do if you bump into a runner you know when you’re running? Do you stop and chat? Do you offer to run with them? And, do you also feel horribly visible if you’re spotted turning back on an out-and-back route?
Running controversies
Then we have some running controversies – we would LOVE to know your thoughts on two pieces that I read in the Guardian that seemed to be very anti-running, which we explore in detail. Links in the show notes if you’d like to read them.
