<p>Welcome to episode 225 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.</p><br><p>This episode is sponsored by Coopah, the running app. Use the code <strong>WOMENSRUNNING</strong> when you sign up for 2 free weeks and a further 20% off for a whole year.</p><br><p>We start off by talking about running. Controversial. But then for some reason move on the Bath Christmas market, which befuddles us, but do please still come and visit Bath and top up our precarious economy.</p><p><br></p><h2>Alcohol and running</h2><p>And we talk at some length about running and drinking, something which we’re focusing on at the moment as we enter the festive season and stare January in the face. So small trigger warning here about chat that skirts addiction. Do please get in touch if you’re a sober listener or you have experience of drinking/not drinking in terms of your running and have a story to tell on that side of things.</p><p><br></p><h2>Get a cheap subscription!</h2><p>Just a quick little nudge to pick up the magazine before Christmas – use the code PODCASTXMAS for our best offer of the year, which will save you 56%!
