Girl Can Run: an EMPWRD podcast

In this episode of Girl Can Run , Emma is back with a very honest life update after accidentally ghosting the podcast for a few weeks.

This episode is a raw catch up on what i...

In this episode of Girl Can Run , Emma sits down for a raw and honest life/running update after a week that didn’t go quite to plan. After heading to Perth for race weekend, navigating a few unexpected decisions, and processing some news she wasn’t quite prepared for, Emma opens up about the messy middle of being a runner, coach, physio, and human all at once. This episode is less of a “how-to” an...

This week’s episode is a bit of a life update… but also a very honest look at what marathon prep actually takes. Because if I’m being real — I’ve trained for two marathons before and never made it to the start line. Both times ended in stress fractures. So this time around, things are looking very different. I chat through: What’s been going on behind the scenes lately (life stress, poor sleep, AD...

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most confusing parts of running once you’re past the beginner stage - when to actually listen to your body… and when you’re just making excuses. Because let’s be real… “Listening to your body” gets thrown around a lot, but half the time it’s just stopping you from getting out of your comfort zone. I talk through: The difference between discipline vs mo...

This week on Girl Can Run , I’m chatting through how to figure out what kind of running support is actually right for you. From running just for fun, to following an app like Runna, to working with an actual coach, I break down when each option can work well, where generic plans often fall short, and how to know when it might be time for more personalised support. I also share the key questions to...
