Women’s Running | May 2025
The incredible Eilish McColgan graces our cover this May, seconds away from running the London Marathon. She talks to us exclusively about the pressures of training, body image, and how she’s been facing down the online trolls.
Like Eilish, if you’ve also signed up to a race (or three!), this issue of Women’s Running is packed with all the advice and inspiration you need, whatever your running goal is. This month we’re delving into:
• Finding out what your top pace is – and how to run it for longer
• The bits of the Mediterranean diet that work best for runners
• How to face the fear of failure, and run your next race with confidence
• How to spice up your running with a spot of orienteering
All of this, and we’ve got the very best training plan to run your first – or your fastest – 10K. And while you’re delving into that training plan, have a look through our back catalogue at to find every plan for every distance you could think of.
All this, and we’ve got all the best events, from 10K to ultra, to sign up to this summer. Plus, all the inspiration and advice to keep you going out the front door all month. Happy running!
