Welcome to episode 235 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.


Supplements for sleep

First off I’m chatting about supplements: I’ve discovered magnesium – both in cream form (shout out Ancient Minerals) and also in tablet form, and think it’s been helping a lot with the whole perimenopausal sleep thing. More menopause chat at the end.


Marathon training

We do talk about running, cos we’re in the middle of marathon training, so I’m afraid it’s very much part of our lives, so we discuss our boredom/ anxiety at being firmly in the middle of our training plans.


Menopause symptoms

Then I get properly cross about menopausal symptoms and I want to hear your pain as well. Email us at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk if you’re going through anything broadly similar and if you’ve got any more symptoms to add it to the Big List. It’s a call to arms!
