Welcome to episode 227 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.

At time of recording, it’s the day after our Christmas party, so we complete all this chat about booze and running with some hungover run chat. Swiftly followed by whether or not runners should wear gilets (discuss). All of this before we start talking about how our training is going.

And then we’re on to our absolute dream Christmas dinner, from aperitif to pudding. Yes, this isn’t to do with running, but when have we ever said that we only talk about running? Never. Don’t listen hungry. We finish by launching into part 1 of a two-part Christmas Quiz. The rest will be in our boxing day podcast, and we can’t wait!
