What it is
A long-running show for women who fit running around family and work, part of the Feisty Media network. The Friday episodes cover training, motivation, health and the less-discussed body issues of running with coaches, writers and everyday runners. The Tuesday Miles of Books strand recommends fiction and sports or self-help non-fiction.
Why listen
- Women's health topics that general running shows skip, such as menopause and endurance sport, and body issues for runners and cyclists.
- Beginner and step-up episodes, from a first run to a first marathon or ultra, often with coaches and real runners.
- A weekly book-recommendation episode for runners who also read.
