Ep 182. Fatigue, training plans, half marathons

Welcome to episode 182 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. What is Jeffing?To begin with, we’re slightly more deflated than the last episode – we’re TIRED, for a couple of different reasons. Once we stop whinging, we get on to the running conundrums – such as, does stopping at water stations count as Jeffing? We want your thoughts! Then we start talking race strategy – neither of us can quite remember what Hol did at Paris half, and how she can emulate it, if she decides to follow that plan again. Plan panicWe also talk about general training plan panic – that thing where you study hundreds of training plans and try to find one that retrospectively fits what we’ve been doing! This ties into Holly giving me a bit of a telling off, to ground me and my panic ahead of the Barcelona half marathon this weekend.Email us! Happily, we have some more embarrassing moments – and we want more!
