It’s boxing day, and we’re already talking about ripping down the decorations. We’ve got a bit of running chat, but it’s squashed in-between the second part of our Christmas Quiz, which leads on to much topical debate. We also launch into a toxic fitness email I’ve received, and tear it to shreds, as I’m sure you’d hope we would.

Now we’re the other side of Christmas, it’s time to treat yourself to that subscription to Women’s Running magazine.

At time of recording, it’s the day after our Christmas party, so we complete all this chat about booze and running with some hungover run chat. Swiftly followed by whether or not runners should wear gilets (discuss). All of this before we start talking about how our training is going.

And then we’re on to our absolute dream Christmas dinner, from aperitif to pudding. Yes, this isn’t to do with running, but when have we ever said that we only talk about running? Never. Don’t listen hungry. We finish by launching into part 1 of a two-part Christmas Quiz. The rest will be in our boxing day podcast, and we can’t wait!

Welcome to Am I Nuts. This is the last episode in a special series of ten weekly podcasts from us at the Women’s Running podcast. I am your host Esther Newman, and she is your other host Holly Taylor.

Hol and I are natural born worriers, but with many of our worries, we’ve thought we were the only ones. We thought we were nuts. During this series, we’ve been chatting about the worries that make us feel that way – and ten episodes isn’t enough! If this episode resonates with you, or you have something you think we should talk about, then please email us at wrpodcast@anthem.co.uk and fingers crossed we’ll roll out another series.

We’ve gone seasonal for this episode: are we nuts for worrying about Christmas? Holly, as her name suggest, has always been very festive focused, and loved the season, but now is teetering on the edge of getting stressed about all the Christmas things: the money, the socializing, the expectation of joy. We talk through the stress of cooking, the stress of families and the stress of producing perfect presents.

Am I Nuts is brought to you by the Women’s Running podcast. Check out Women’s Running magazine, which currently has a brilliant offer for new subscribers: if you subscribe to Women’s Running magazine right now you get a year’s subscription to running app Coopah, worth £79.99, absolutely free.
