Welcome to episode 306 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.
Today we’re talking about squeezing in the long run at the wrong time, for which I’m suffering and want all your sympathy (and none of your judgement). We also talk about some running adjacent medical topics: visits to the dentist as a perimenopausal woman, and how traumatic that is. And visits to the optician and how Hol is entering a whole new world of vision. We also have a lovely little controversy to chat about, which is a great one for Hol right now. Tell us your thoughts: would you make your entire bridal party run a half marathon?
