Ep 222. Garmin, weightloss, controversies

The Women's Running Podcast

Welcome to episode 222 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.

Garmin

We dive straight into your emails as we’ve had loads as a result of our chat about Garmin. You have had a lot of thoughts and have lots of ideas about hacking your Garmin content so that it feels as though it’s supporting you rather than berating you - we both have a lot to learn here. But is it enough to persuade Holly to wear her Garmin again?

Then there’s a bit of a trigger warning, as we discuss weightloss and slimming organisations, at about 25 minutes in for about 10 minutes. So do please skip if this is not useful or appropriate for you.

Running controversies

We then also talk about a couple of running controversies that have been floating about on social media over the past couple of weeks. We would love to know your thoughts on annoying running influencers and that old chestnut: dog owners
