This week’s episode is a sit down with the lovely ladies from Girls Alive, a women’s group in Surrey who encourage those who can to run, bike, swim, hike, whatever gets you going and set challenges, encouraging beginners or really going for the big leagues if you feel the urge. I wanted to chat to them so that we can all hear a conversation amongst other women just like you and me about what motivates and drives them, why taking part in a group is so important, and how “daring to give it a go” is what it’s all about.
I talk at the beginning to Eleanor and Philippa at the beginning and then to various of the other women from the group in the following section. We are in a cafe, having coffee and eating so apologies for the general hubbub noise and the plates clinking etc, I’ve tried my best with the sound to make it as clear as possible but I’m no sound engineer so you’ll have to let me off a bit!
