The Women's Running Podcast

Back by popular demand, we’re re-releasing the Start to Run series from the Women’s Running Podcast, where we’re making running simple again. Every week on Start to Run, Esther and Holly will cover a common myth, frequently asked question or tricky topic and get back down to basics. Whether you’re a seasoned runner returning from some time off or a total newbie, we’re here to help you get moving and to remind you that running doesn’t have to be complicated.

Walking, ‘Jeffing’ and taking it slow

Are you still a runner if you take walk breaks? In short, you obvs are. But in this episode we’re explaining why walking is such a fantastic run strategy and overall fitness tool. Long live Jeff, is all we have to say.

Couch to 5K, yay or nay?

We also share our thoughts on the oh-so-popular Couch to 5K app; which bits we love, and which bits we don’t love so much. Plus, we share our own beginner running tales and the things we wish we’d known.
