<p>Welcome to episode 221 of the Women’s Running podcast. I’m your host Esther Newman and she’s your other host Holly Taylor.

I talk about running abroad, as well as running with kids – with varying degrees of success. And while I was gadding about in Denmark, Holly has had a super busy week, dealing with dramatic injuries and last-minute requests to be on the actual telly, I hope you all spotted her.</p><p><br></p><h2>London Marathon</h2><p>Aside from her burgeoning media career, Holly is getting increasingly anxious about running the London Marathon, so we talk about how she’s going to deal with that anxiety and how she’s going to approach her training.</p><p><br></p><h2>Join us!</h2><p>Little nudge to subscribe to the magazine here, and I’m only going on about it, cos this offer will end soon.
