Ep134. Veganuary chat + half marathon training, with Women's Running
Today we're joined by Esther and Holly T from our sister title Women's Running. We've challenged them to try Veganaury (whilst they've challenged us to run a half marathon) and they're here to share their ups and downs.
Esther is struggling with fake meat and tofu whilst Holly T – despite feeling cocky about the challenge to begin with – is finding there’s milk powder in just about everything she wants to eat. And don't even get us started on why fish bladders are in our wine!
We then move onto running – can the team help us lose our fear of making it round the London Landmarks course? Does Molly have shin splints or just the wrong trainers? And is it OK to drink beer at the finish line? Listen to this episode and then head over to episode 124 of the Women's Running podcast to hear Molly on their show.
