Welcome to episode 296 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.

Ladeez

This episode, we talk about whether we prefer to be called ladies or women, and why it is that some races and runners prefer the term ‘lady’. We also wave our feminist flags about different distances in cross country. We know this is a contentious subject, so send in your thoughts!

Running & safety

We also talk about running and safety in the summer. Holly’s had some horrible experiences recently while running – we hope you’ve all been avoiding crap like this in your running; but if not, do please let us know what’s been going on, and how you’re dealing with it.
