Ep 282. Lisa Jackson

Welcome to episode 282 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.In this episode, we were lucky enough to speak to the glorious Lisa Jackson - writer, author, runner, ambassador – a woman who is proud to have come last in 25 marathons (of which she has now run over a hundred). Lisa is an extraordinary woman who has suffered some horrific losses over the past few years, but has emerged phoenix-like, with a book and an unmatched energy: if you’re out there listening to this and not sure if you’re a runner, then Lisa is the woman you need to listen to.Lisa’s book Your Pace or Mine is the best book for new and slower runners. And her latest book, Still Running After All These Tears, is available to preorder and out on the 8th January in all good book shops.Now, if you aren’t a patron yet do join us on Patreon for just £2 a month, through which you can join our forum and listen to podcasts ad-free.
