The Women's Running Podcast

About

Running is the one thing that we all like talking about. Every week on the award winning Women’s Running podcast, we talk all things running, women, health and fitness with our own brand of happy, irreverent chat. Esther and Holly talk through their training highs and lows, and all the bits and pieces in-between. Every so often, we invite an expert to join us to help us figure out the confusing worlds of training, recovery, nutrition, health and more. And sometimes we get to talk to an incredible woman from the world of running, from Anna McNuff to Paula Radcliffe, Susie Chan to Nicky Spinks. So why do we do it? Because we realised that most of the running podcasts we listened to were full of blokes waffling on about quads and cadence (and we realised that we can do that perfectly well ourselves, thank you very much). Right here, we talk about all the things that affect us when we step out the door: sexism, hormones, menopause, food, pelvic floors, relationships, mental health, seagull attacks and wild weeing. But. BUT. We will also talk about races, PBs, shoes, training, starting running, enjoying running, finding the fun. And quads and cadence. This is the Women’s Running podcast, and it’s for women who love to run.

Ep 327. More super halfs, hypermobility

November 13, 2026

1h 31m

Welcome to episode 327 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m Esther, she’s Holly, and we’re the soundtrack to your next run. On this podcast we talk about health, politics, stuff on TV and what we ate last night. Occasionally, we talk about running.

More half marathons

First off – apologies. I’m on a nasty mic for the first half and sound like I’m in a tin can. Blame tech, blame an old woman who keeps on buggering up the tech – honestly, she is RUBBISH. Aside from that, we’re chatting about the new group of European half marathons – good? Bad? Capitalism gone mental?

Hypermobility

In the middle, we talk to Scout Adkin, a brilliant physio who we wanted to talk to about hypermobility. We talked about this a few episodes back and promised we’d bring on an expert, so we have! She talks to us about how to tell if we have hypermobility, and what the repercussions are in terms of our training and our injuries.

Dublin Half - Holly's hen do!

And we come back at the end to talk a bit more about Camille Heron, and her move from ultrarunning to Only Fans.
