  • A must

    I started running this year and find this podcast so valuable. I love it so much that even if I didn’t run I would still listen as these lovely ladies chat away about anything and everything. They are completely relatable and offer such a well rounded approach to all situations and show no judgement on anyone for their choices.

  • Lovely

    I so enjoy listening to Esther and Holly talk with honest, humane wit about all the highs and lows of running. They kept me going through a brutal half-marathon that I ran yesterday while aching through the end of a miscarriage. (Thank you for lending me courage to finish something life-affirming that I deeply wanted to do for myself.) This is the only podcast where I actually don’t mind the adverts, because it’s a pleasure to support this duo, who advertise with such soothing voice-overs.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 290. Imo Boddy & new goals
Q: What tips would you give someone moving from marathon to ultra or from half to ultramarathon?
Focus on breaking distances into manageable segments, emphasize enjoyment and the journey over time alone, ensure proper fueling and recovery, and embrace the slower, more adaptable pace that ultras require.
Ep 290. Imo Boddy & new goals
Q: What is your origin story and how did you begin contemplating the joggle/juggle challenge?
Imo describes an early spark from school challenges and a public talk about remarkable multi-discipline feats, leading her to set audacious goals like the youngest female to complete the joggle and later Three Peaks, with a gradual shift from team sports to ultra-distance running.
Ep 288. Race organisation, training tips, shakeout runs
Q: Is it advisable to skip a taper period to make up for missed mileage?
No, skipping a taper is not recommended as it's essential for recovery and race performance.
Ep 288. Race organisation, training tips, shakeout runs
Q: Can I now train for a marathon in 12-ish weeks if I've been sidelined by injury?
Yes, 12 weeks is still a good training block if you build up gradually post-injury.
Ep 8. Start to Run: Nutrition [RERUN]
Q: When do you feel it's okay to go for that run after having some food?
It depends on the individual; some can run after an hour while others need closer to two hours.
