Welcome to episode 234 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.

 

Toenails & runner's high

Toenail trigger warning right from the start here, as we start off by talking about black toenails, so sorry about that. We also talk about runner’s high, and the fallacy that this is, and try to reframe it a little bit.

Coopah training

In the middle of this episode we’re catching up with Jordan from Coopah, the training app again. We’ve got lots of worries that she has to sort out for us, from how to visualise the distance to how to keep distracted on the run. We also talk about the science behind the app algorithm and how to adapt our plans as we go along.
