Ep 280. Christmas, icks, training fails

Welcome to episode 280 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.

Injuries and icks

This is the final episode we’re recording in 2025, which is kind of exciting because we’re very ready to put our feet up. After controversies involving red cabbage, we eventually get on to our running, you’ll be relieved to hear. We talk about impact injuries, general icks, and our high and low points in 2025. Have a very lovely Christmas if you celebrate it, enjoy your time off if you get it, and we wish you all a relaxed and peaceful new year. We have treats for you over the next couple of weeks with exclusive interviews with Kathrine Switzer and Lisa Jackson, so listen out for them on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day respectively.
