The Women's Running Podcast
The Women's Running Podcast is a weekly show that covers all aspects of running, health, and fitness from a female perspective. Hosts Esther and Holly share their training experiences, discuss topics like sexism, hormones, menopause, and mental health, and interview inspiring women in the running world. The podcast aims to provide a relatable and inclusive space for women runners, moving beyond the typical male-dominated running talk.
