  • Sorry the 300th episode had to be the stupidest

    Your discussion about the Nike Advert and then the interminable conversation about the so-called Joe Wicks drama was a waste of my listening time. I know you are both well-meaning but I will be seeking other running podcasts and articles that provide helpful advice rather than banter ad infinitum about made up controversies. Take care and best wishes for your continued success.

  • A must listen

    I have been listening to women’s running since I started my running journey 18 months ago and it has helped massively! Informative and entertaining it’s great to listen so something so relatable. The hosts are real women with real lives who make running accessible for every women no matter age or fitness level. I honestly think I wouldn’t have got this far without this podcast!

  • Worth Your Time

    If you are a women this podcast is worth a listen. If you are a woman who runs absolutely don’t miss an episode. By far the most enjoyable running podcast I’ve listened to and the only one I listen to that is women focused.

  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 8. The Strength Project: goals
Q: Any tips for pregnant or postpartum women when it comes to strength?
Kate advises being gentle with expectations during pregnancy, emphasizes that lifting heavy isn't mandatory for everyone, and suggests working with a specialist to tailor strength training safely; postpartum returns should respect energy levels and possibly start with core work and light activities before gradually rebuilding strength.
Ep 6. The Strength Project: flexibility and mobility
Q: What is mobility, and how is it different from flexibility?
Mobility refers to the ability to move joints through a full range of motion, especially before a workout, while flexibility is about lengthening and holding muscles after exercise; both contribute to better performance and reduced injury risk.
Ep 7. The Strength Project: nutrition
Q: What happens if we get injured and how do we avoid injury with strength stuff?
Kate explains that injuries can occur when lifting too heavy too quickly and emphasizes gradual progression, seeking guidance on form, starting with bodyweight, and using classes or an instructor for complex moves; if injury occurs, back off weight and consult a professional.
Ep 4. The Strength Project: when to train
Q: How much protein should we aim for daily when focusing on strength?
A baseline of about 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day is commonly recommended, with up to around 2 grams per kilogram if the goal is building more muscle or training intensely; protein should be spread across meals and used as needed based on recovery.
Ep 4. The Strength Project: when to train
Q: What should we eat before training for strength?
Kate suggests having a balanced day of meals with protein, carbs, and fats, and if a workout is approaching, a small easily digestible item like a banana or peanut butter on toast can help, though strength sessions are less sensitive to pre-workout fueling than running.
