Welcome to episode 236 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.

Menopause rant
We’ve had lots of responses to my menopause from rant from last week, so we talk about some of those, and we want more! Do get in touch with anything you’d like to add to our massive menopausal list at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk
Injuries
Halfway through we talk to Jordan from Coopah about injuries, as she’s picked up a nasty one, and what we should do if a niggle threatens to derail our training. We talk about the emotional decision on whether to defer, and also how to recover after long runs so that the mid-week runs don’t feel quite so painful. Lots of brilliant advice here for anyone training for a race of any distance this spring.
