After a short interlude, part 4 of our 5 part mini series into Women in Sport is here. As it feels like we are at a moment in time in which the way women's sport is watched and played is changing rapidly, this series seeks to explore what is happening right now in women's sport, and what more needs to be done to bridge the equality gap, looking at it mainly through the eyes of women in running.

This episode is a conversation with Tish Jones which starts with a simplistically scientific summary of how women and men are different biologically before moving on to Tish's experiences of the impact of an imbalance between the energy she was expending and the amount of fuel she was consuming, which builds on the previous episode with Natasha Cockram in which we spoke about the pressure her NCAA team were under around diet and weight. As ever, a number of interesting themes emerge, but I won't spoil them now.....

I hope you enjoy it
