Mums Away For A Run

The One About Marathons And Taking A Break

Kirsten talks to Sarah, who is a busy working mum of two boys as well as a holder of the elusive six star World Marathon Majors finisher's medal. We talk about how Sarah got started in running and how her relationship with running has changed, along with life events that I am sure many of you can relate to. We also talk about fitting in training around the kids, and being ready to take a break when the time feels right. Sarah is very inspiring and I hope you enjoy her story.

The One About Menopause And Adapting Goals

Kirsten has a proper natter with the one and only Jo Wilkinson. Runner, mother, coach, ex Team GB athlete and mentor. We talk about everything from juggling motherhood and running, adapting goals as we age and change, the impact of menopause, why strength training is so important, and later the conversation digresses to tampons and portaloos...

The One About Running Safety

Kirsten speaks to Laura about how important runner safety is, and how men can do more to help us - no matter how small. We also talk about inspiring generation after generation to take up running and how it can end up literally running a family.

The One About The Crazy Marathon Journey

Kirsten speaks to Mairi about being introduced to running as a youngster, and then finding running again later after moving half way across the world. We talk about how the crazy marathon journey has come about, mum guilt, and how the running community has helped re-integration to life in Scotland.

The One Where Dad's Away For A Run

A different episode this time as Kirsten speaks to Bob for the first, "Dad's Away For A Run". Bob was very open and honest during this episode about social anxiety and that fear that comes with arriving at races, especially on your own. I hope that resonates with some of you.
