Esther NewmanHOST
Wow.
Esther NewmanHOST
I mean, it's amazing 'cause you're basically, you're talking about running a marathon at the pace you were running that, the Bath Half.
Holly TaylorHOST
Exactly, and it did feel gnarly in the last couple of miles, so-
Esther NewmanHOST
Mm
Holly TaylorHOST
...
Holly TaylorHOST
I, I feel fitter, but I don't, I don't feel like four billion times fitter like I did between maybe London and that Bath Half.
Esther NewmanHOST
Mm.
Holly TaylorHOST
So yeah, it's, I, I think I will, like, I'll see how it goes.
Dylan NaylorHOST
Do you know what I mean? Yeah.
Dylan NaylorHOST
I don't think it can be British, it might have been English, because I'm sure that Bath Half were British half marathon champs.
DanHOST
I think that Bath Half was the trials race, I'm not sure it was the champs though.
DanHOST
Yeah, it was a
Dylan NaylorHOST
trials race, but maybe, yeah, I don't know.
Esther NewmanHOST
Mm
Holly TaylorHOST
... earlier this year at the Bath Half.
Holly TaylorHOST
That she, the first time she did a half marathon, she'd, like, spilled all her gels immediately and was like, "Oh, well, that's the end of that then."
Esther NewmanHOST
Yeah.
Holly TaylorHOST
Yeah.
Esther NewmanHOST
And I, I did it, the first time I did the Bath Half I dropped, no, wouldn't be the first time 'cause I would never have had a gel, but definitely dropped one.
Esther NewmanHOST
I remember doing a Bath, I did the Bath Half with two gels, and for me, that's unimaginable now.
Esther NewmanHOST
Like, I'd never do-
TimHOST
And I've got a lot of races booked in and several I've not done.
TimHOST
However, I got overexcited and booked the Bath Half Marathon.
TimHOST
I'd never done it before.
TimHOST
It's supposed to be a really good event.

TimHOST
We've just had quite a lengthy conversation about it.
TimHOST
I have.
TimHOST
I jumped the gun a little bit this year and booked the Bath Half Marathon.
TimHOST
And it's happening in March, I think it is, or early April.

Lucia GoodwinGUEST
...
Lucia GoodwinGUEST
so it was, I'd done the Bath Half in 2023 in the October, um- And had done that, that for Parkinson's UK as well, so to go and do the marathon for them was kind of what I wanted to do.
Lucia GoodwinGUEST
So when I got a ballot place, I was like, "Brilliant."
PaulHOST
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
And I'm like, "Well, it's because you've spent years in a bloody calorie deficit and your body was completely ruined.
speaker_0HOST
Um, it's gonna take a long time." So yeah, I mean, it's taken me five years to run a 5K PB, so, and it took me two years to, like I said, when I won Bath Half, that was the first time I, I, I actually thought, "Okay, my body's healthy and strong enough to increase the mileage," um, and I feel safe to say I shouldn't really pick up a thingy.
speaker_0HOST
Of course, you can't say that.
speaker_0HOST
Anything can happen.
23 MINS LATER
speaker_0HOST
I kept losing.
speaker_0HOST
I wasn't f- strong enough or confident in myself.
speaker_0HOST
Um, but then in 2025, because I'd been consistent for two whole years, every race chipping away that little bit, I won the Bath Half Marathon.
speaker_0HOST
My body was back.
