Ep 188. Bath half, running and volunteering

Welcome to episode 188 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. Bath HalfIt’s the day after the Bath Half, and I want to talk you through it. First we talk about vlogging or not during a race – I’m not very good at doing this, and decided against it during this one (sorry). So I ran it and have many thoughts, and Hol wasn’t running it, but was instead singing with her choir on the route to raise the runners’ spirits – and in this, she’s hooked. Who loves volunteering as much as running the thing? Exclusive competitionWe’ve also got a brilliant compo for you! It’s a Pod Squad exclusive to win two entries, for you and a friend, to run the Threshold Endure 24 in Reading on the 8th-9th June. Super cool! Endure 24 is the UK’s biggest 24-hour trail race, and feels more like a festival than a race. You run it by taking part in 8K loops – and you can do as many or as few of them as you like!
