Welcome to episode 248 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.
The week after the marathon
It’s the week after the Big Day, and Holly already has some big plans – but should she go through with them? We discuss the pros and cons.I talk about the fallout from the calf injury, and the support I’ve received, and how I’m feeling a bit self-indulgent.
Sabrina Pace-Humphreys
We’re joined part-way through by the gorgeous Sabrina Pace-Humphreys, friend of the pod and all round joyful runner, to talk about the shocking moment that lead her to found Black Trail Runners, but also the joyful celebration of running that is the second Black To The Trails, which is happening this very weekend. This is the World’s most ethically diverse trail running event and, in 2025, it’s set to be even bigger and better. Go along to support and enjoy the festival vibes.
