51. The IMPOSSIBLE Standard Female Creators Are Being Held To…

Emily Fairs is back on the pod! This week we catch up on her Saucony 10K race, break down whether an ultramarathon or a 10K is actually harder, and talk about drinking and training through the summer with no guilt. We also dig into the impossible standard female creators are held to. Emily reads out a comment accusing her of losing weight and we unpack why she "can't win" no matter what she posts. And if that wasn't enough, we touch on the Meta glasses consent controversy, London Marathon's new two-day format, and why delusion and optimism might be the secret to achieving anything.Follow Emily here: https://www.instagram.com/emilyjanefairs/?hl=enIf you're watching on YouTube, make sure you're subscribed.
