Welcome to episode 309 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.

My first ultra!

I have returned from the SheRaces trail ultra at the weekend, and I have to first of all acknowledge that I am alive to tell the tale. Brace yourself for a mega race report right here, along with all the lessons I’ve learnt along the way.

Love Trails!

Meanwhile Holly has been having a whale of a time at the Love Trails festival. She’s been running, and dancing, and discovering the joy of trails! I think this might be the start of her trail era, so watch this space.
