Tina Muir is a former elite marathoner who is now the Founder and CEO of Running For Real, host of an award-winning podcast of the same name, author of multiple books, and environmental activist. As an elite athlete, she ran a personal best of 2:36 in the marathon and represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the 2016 World Half Marathon Championships where she placed 49th. After retiring from pro running, she started Running For Real, a business designed to use running as a vehicle for social change and encourage people to be vulnerable and courageous about the things that matter. The accompanying Running For Real Podcast, which was voted best fitness podcast at the sports podcast awards in 2021, creates space to have conversations about running, social justice, and the climate emergency. Alongside her work with Running For Real, she is also implementing a sustainability plan for the 2025 World Road Running Championships in San Diego and has worked with other major road race organizers and even the United Nations on campaigns related to climate change and humanitarian affairs.   In this conversation from December 2023, Olivia sits down with Tina to discuss the many ways that individual runners and running event organizations can make meaningful changes to help preserve the environment. From her work with Atlanta Track Club's very own American Journal Constitution Peachtree Road Race to how she is helping to make the 2025 World Road Running Championships more sustainable and practical tips for runners like you and me, Tina leaves us with a hopeful message: The environment will not change overnight, but if we pace ourselves with small, consistent actions—each of us doing what we can reliably sustain on most days—we can make the most of our impact and together create big change.   Follow Tina Instagram - tinamuir88   Learn more about Runners Who Read https://www.atlantatrackclub.org/runners-who-read  

Ruth Chepngetich broke the women's marathon world record by nearly two minutes at the Chicago Marathon. In this installment of the podcast, we talked all about how she did it, where she came from, and what it's like to be a distance running fan when such mind-blowing performances seem to be happening more and more often. We also spent a small amount of time talking about George's run at the Flagstaff Marathon last weekend and the new offering from the Atlanta Track Club: the Polar Peachtree!

Jimmy Carter has met countless reporters in his life. But I suspect I'm the only one to ever barf in front of him. The former president, a peanut farmer and governor elected in 1976 who left office after losing the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan, celebrated his 100th birthday on Tuesday (Oct. 1) in Plains, Georgia. In November 1984, I was a 23-year-old cub reporter on the health and education beat for The Gainesville Times, a tiny daily an hour north of Atlanta. The editors asked me to drive down to write about a health care policy conference that Carter was leading at Emory University. The conference, titled "Closing the Gap," was aimed at preventing premature death. The dozens of speakers seemed incredibly boring, at least to me, a recent college graduate. So, when the organizers asked who I'd like to interview, I requested a meeting with the only person not being offered - Jimmy Carter. The next morning, I went to a basement classroom. I was dressed in a coat and tie. At the precise moment of the appointment, Carter walked in with two handlers. "I'm Jimmy Carter," he said. I introduced myself. We shook hands. He couldn't have been kinder to a terrified and awed young reporter, patiently answering the questions I'd written on my yellow legal pad. People always talk about Carter's smile, but I was most impressed by his eyes. He looked at me with intensity and seemed interested in every word. When the interview was over, he asked me questions. He had met my father and knew several of his friends. He seemed genuinely interested in this unknown reporter from a Gainesville newspaper. I remember thinking that this was why he became president. It seemed like anyone who met the man would love him. As we finished, Carter said he planned to jog in Piedmont Park, near downtown. He invited me to join him at 5:30 p.m. at Colony Square, a block from the park. I arrived wearing a sweatshirt, shorts and running shoes. I wasn't the only person he invited. There was also a member of the Atlanta Track Club and a United Press International (UPI) reporter wearing street clothes and heels. At exactly 5:30, Carter left his hotel wearing a long gray T-shirt, orange jogging shorts and a pair of red, white and blue Nikes. He was with a U.S. Marine, an overweight Atlanta police officer and a Secret Service agent riding a motorcycle. He smiled and asked, "Are you ready?" Off we went. The UPI reporter and police officer made it less than a quarter-mile before dropping off. As we ran, Carter held forth on world leaders he had run or walked with, including Egyptian leader Anwar El Sadat and French President Giscard d'Estaing. A more experienced reporter would have brought a tape recorder. I tried to take notes while running. I still have the notebook, which the president signed. Carter ran fast. While serving in the U.S. Navy, he said he once outran a Korean military platoon. "Would you like to do some hills?" he asked. I don't recall how I responded, but I'm certain I didn't want to do any hills. I was feeling woozy. I ran cross-country in high school and was in decent shape, but this 60-year-old man was killing me. I told myself, "Please don't throw up. Please don't throw up." A moment later, I said, "Excuse me, Mr. President" and leaned against a tree and barfed. Carter kept going. I wiped my mouth with my sleeve and scurried to catch up. "Are you all right, Joey?" he asked. "Yes, Mr. President. I'm fine," I said. And I was. After 3 miles, we returned to the hotel. It was dark by then, and Carter began pointing out constellations. I didn't know it, but the UPI reporter had brought a photographer. A photo of me running with the president while taking notes ran in newspapers nationwide, including in Miami, where my editors were at a conference. For months, I received comments and calls from friends who had seen the photo. When they asked what the 39th president was like, I said he was in great shape and charming, even after I threw up on that poor tree.

Each year, 80% of runners face injuries. Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards, the head physical therapist for the Atlanta Track Club, addresses this high incidence of running injuries. She brings a wealth of experience, from authoring books and conducting pivotal research to hosting her own podcast and running a specialized PT practice for runners and triathletes. She also introduces RunSource, an app designed by her company, FastBananas, to transform runners' approaches to training and recovery.   Dr. Kate emphasizes the holistic care provided at the Atlanta Track Club, where her holistic approach extends beyond treating physical injuries, considering athletes' mental and emotional health. She details how the club's integrated team of dietitians, psychologists, and chiropractors works together to prevent overtraining and boost performance by prioritizing the overall health of each athlete.   By discussing the risks of following popular fitness and diet trends without considering individual needs, Dr. Kate stresses the importance of expert guidance. She points out the benefits of using heart rate variability (HRV) tracking as a tool for monitoring training loads and preventing overtraining. Her clinical use of the Lever system is particularly beneficial for postpartum athletes and those recovering from stress fractures or managing tendinopathies. The system, an essential part of injury recovery prehab, allows athletes to train effectively while minimizing injury risks by offloading some of their body weight.   Dr. Kate reminds runners to listen to their bodies and adjust their training schedules accordingly. She stresses the importance of rest, recovery, and not being rigidly tied to training plans.    Quotes “Runners getting injured hasn't changed in 40 years. The same amount of runners are getting injured all of the time. And no matter what happens from a shoe standpoint, or what happens in terms of like the coolest technology out there, or that we're tracking this, we're tracking that, nothing has changed. I believe that nothing has changed because we haven't really looked at the athlete from that holistic view.” (08:31 | Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards)  “You have to know what overtraining is, what it looks like and what impacts it. I would say the No. 1 thing is stress, whether it's mental, emotional or physical.” (12:04  | Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards)  “80% of runners are injured and it's happened for 40 years and nothing has changed. All of the things that I've seen with the track club in the last three years and seeing the resources that they've had that have really helped them, I thought, ‘Why can't everybody have these same resources?' And a lot of the people that are experts in the field are unavailable to most people, because we're too busy. We've got a zillion projects going on, we're booked out, or we're too expensive, and you can't get in to see us. So I decided to say to all the experts I know, ‘Hey guys, let's get together, create this app and give this information to people.' So maybe we have a chance to start decreasing this trend of getting injured and help people reach those performance levels that they want without getting injured because you can't be a high performer if you end up injured.” (17:12  | Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards)  “What's really cool about the lever is that you can add that mileage, get that time on the ground, but it takes you away from that line a little bit, which is what I like.” (26:26  | Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards)    Links Connect with Dr. Kate: https://www.instagram.com/precisionpt_atl/ https://www.fastbananas.com/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/  https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm  

Our next guest on the Running Around Charlotte Podcast is a name some OG Charlotte runners may remember.

He's the former VP of the Atlanta Track Club, a former … Continue reading "Jay Holder, Running USA"

This year, the Atlanta Track Club made some big changes to the Atlanta Marathon, including a new start and finish area and new race formats. Michelle and George took advantage and ran the first Atlanta Marathon Relay, and this week, they offered their thoughts on the course, the race, and the changes that Atlanta Track Club instituted.

“I feel like that's why I got so emotional after that race – because this was the first time where I performed to my standards when it mattered. And that's such a big relief off my shoulders now, especially going into the Olympic year. It always felt a little phony for me to be like, ‘I'm going to make this team,' or ‘I'm going to do this,' because it hadn't happened yet. And now it has. And now I know that I can do it when it matters most.” Allie Wilson just won the U.S. Indoor Championships 800m title in Albuquerque, New Mexico for her first career national crown. With the victory, she also qualified for the World Indoor Championships taking place in Glasgow, Scotland next month. This will be her first time on a U.S. national team for a global championship. For Allie, the victory comes after a series of shortcomings at national championships. She was sixth at the 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials. She was fourth at the 2022 U.S. Championships. Last year was a rollercoaster year where she only reached the semifinals and was also dealing with the fact that her coaches Andrew and Amy Begley would be parting ways with the Atlanta Track Club. She decided to take a risk and leave the team and her sponsorship with Adidas to follow her coaches to Indiana, where she is now living and training. This weekend gave her confidence in her decision-making. In this episode, you'll hear all about how she's handled the changes, the trust in her coaches, how she's working with a mental performance coach to reframe her thinking going into races and much more. We take your listener questions, where many of you were curious why she opted against her signature high bun hairstyle in the final.

Break 2: INGLES 4   STORY 4: Women get same exercise benefits as men but with less effort: study A recent study has found that women can reap the same benefits from exercise as men, but with less effort required. This research identified a "gender gap" in physical exertion, revealing that women can exercise less frequently than men and still achieve greater cardiovascular gains. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), utilized data from over 400,000 U.S. adults collected between 1997 and 2019 by the National Health Interview Survey. The results showed that regular physical activity reduced mortality risk by 24% in women and 15% in men. Notably, the research indicated that men need to engage in moderate to vigorous activities like brisk walking or cycling for about five hours per week to reach their maximal survival benefit. In contrast, women can attain the same benefit with just two-and-a-half hours of similar activity per week. When it comes to weightlifting and other muscle-strengthening exercises, men peak at three sessions per week, while women only need one. Women also reach maximal survival benefit at 140 minutes of exercise per week, whereas men require twice that amount. STORY 5: Did religious people cope much better during the pandemic? A University of Cambridge study found that religious individuals coped better with the Covid-19 pandemic than non-religious ones. The mental health decline was 60% worse for non-believers. The research, which analyzed data from the UK and US, showed that those with strong religious beliefs experienced less unhappiness during the pandemic. The study suggests that religion can bolster self-esteem and coping skills in times of crisis. However, the benefits of religion were not observed in areas with strict lockdowns, indicating the importance of access to places of worship. The research highlights the role of religious faith in building resilience and providing hope during challenging times. STORY 6: LEAH MCGRATH And now here is my conversation with Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on food longevity.   ***LEAH MCGRATH***   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: HENRY CO SHERIFFS OFFICE Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

In episode #65 of the podcast, Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy interview the new elite head coach of the Atlanta Track Club, Tommy Nohilly. Tommy brings with him an extensive background and experience in running both as an athlete and coach.

During the interview, Tommy discusses the priority he places on getting to know his athletes as people and really emphasizing connecting with them on a human level to help them realize their personal as well as professional growth. He talks about learning the different factors that motivate certain athletes as well as his intent to create a safe place for growth as athletes push themselves to the limit in their physical training. During the interview with Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy, Tommy also discusses his evolution as an athlete and how that informed his coaching philosophy and his focus on holistic health for his athletes including recovery practices, emphasis on sleep and nutrition, and the importance of strength training for longevity. Part of Tommy's focus on building strong athletes is grounded in his foundations with strength and conditioning as he has a degree in exercise and sports sciences and extensive mentorship in the strength aspect of running. Tommy really has brought a growth mindset to the evolution of his career and transition to coaching and his gratitude for the sport is readily apparent. You will love the positivity that radiates through the way he talks about the sport of running. This episode is sure to get you fired up for the future of the Atlanta Track Club! Let's go!

In episode #64 of the podcast, Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy interview the voice of the Atlanta Track Club, Ronnel Blackmon. Ronnel discusses how training for the upcoming NYC marathon has sparked a renewed love of running (he ran high school track) and how he uses running as a platform to inspire others, cultivate community, and give back to others. Ronnel is running as a member of Team in Training and using the marathon as a platform for fundraising for this group that supports the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. Ronnel is a proud husband of Tinika Blackmon and father of their two children and is often recognized as a “local celebrity” in Atlanta sports and social circles. During the interview Ronnel talks about his background in various sports growing up playing basketball and football and his pursuit of fitness motivated in part by his modeling career. He also talks about his training and humility in working to become an emcee and his process of personal growth in pursuing this new professional role. Ronnel goes on to talk about his guiding principles in life and what grounds him in addition to sparking his passion and zest for life. As he says, “Well, you know I give four F's…It's faith, family, fitness, and fashion” The energy Ronnel brings to the conversation around running cannot be denied! He discusses his own personal growth and resilience that training for a marathon has taught him. He also talks about his own podcast, “Holla Black,” and the inspiration that led to its creation of leaving a legacy of positivity with his voice and others who use their leadership nurture inclusiveness. The podcast title “BLACK” stands for “Brave Leaders that are Accountable for Communicating Knowledge.” This episode really brings the hype! Give it a listen!

Carrie chats with Ronnel Blackmon, the voice of the Atlanta Track Club! They talk about his journey into running, being an emcee, training for the TCS New York City Marathon, what it means to him to be the voice for many inspiring events, and so much more!

In episode #60 of the podcast, Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy interview Dr. Sara Raiser, a sports medicine doctor at Emory University and specialist in running medicine. Dr. Raiser has a unique perspective on treating injured runners having been involved in competitive distance running and triathlons as an athlete and also undergoing extensive training throughout her career being mentored from experts around the country in running medicine. Dr. Raiser first discusses her entry into the world of running when she was talked into a 5-mile run with her sister, subsequently experienced the challenge, feeling of accomplishment for sticking it out, and then of course the incredibly sore muscles after such an effort with NO prior training. But, as she says, “I was hooked,” and so she went on to run competitively in high school and then for a short stint as a cross country athlete at Emory University before being sidelined by injuries. During the interview, Dr. Raiser discusses some of the advanced training that she received at various stages in her career from running medicine experts and researchers from around the country. She explains the nuances of running medicine and how she has embraced this niche within the sports medicine world and really flourished as she eagerly soaked up knowledge from each of her professional settings and mentorship opportunities. Dr. Raiser hits on many useful tips of information including some of the indicators and factors she discusses with athletes in making decisions on when and if it is appropriate to stop running altogether (HINT: if you are limping when you run, STOP running!). Dr. Raiser and Dr. Kate and Kacy paint a picture of how they are able to practice collaboratively in treating athletes from the Atlanta Track Club as well as other runners in the Atlanta community who seek care first with physical therapy or with Dr. Raiser in her practice in Emory Sports Medicine. Dr. Raiser talks about her emphasis on multidisciplinary care for runners and the importance of taking into consideration the key areas of training, biomechanics, nutrition, and psychology. She also expresses her gratitude to be able to work in tandem with high-level physical therapists like Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy to extend the best care to the athletes that she works with across the continuum of their injury from diagnosis, to rehabilitation, to injury prevention. You won't want to miss Dr. Raiser's answer as Dr. Kacy asks her to envision what her message would be to the masses if she were the “Surgeon General of Running”… This interview is a great look at the collaboration that can happen within an incredibly caring team of healthcare professionals and some insight into the world of running medicine. We know you will LOVE this episode with Dr. Raiser.

Two big things were unveiled this week: the name of the new coach of the Atlanta Track Club elite team and the details of the Olympic Marathon Trials to be held in Orlando next February. We offered our thoughts on both of these things, plus caught up with where everyone is after the Silver Rush 50 and before the Blue Ridge Relay and Berlin Marathon!

"Now, I can focus on coaching and connecting with individuals to see what their needs are as an athlete. The time that I will have to be able to do that will make a huge impact on the athletes and the Atlanta Track Club because I'll have more to give that way…There will be a lot of time for me to also be involved with Atlanta Track Club's outreach in the community. I'm looking forward to being part of that. " Tommy Nohilly has been hired as the next head coach of Atlanta Track Club after three years working alongside John Tautmann as the founders of Empire Elite. Nohilly brings nearly two decades of coaching experience with him after working closely under the guidance of legendary coach Frank Gagliano at the New Jersey-New York Track Club from 2009 to 2020.  He also previously worked as a master technician at Wharton Performance in New York City and put his exercise science degree to use there and with his own work as a physical therapist.  As an athlete in the late 80s and 90s, Nohilly was an NCAA champion in the steeplechase and competed professionally at three U.S. Olympic Trials. He finished fourth twice and barely missed making Team USA for the 1992 and 1996 Summer Games. He competed at the 1995 and 1997 World Championships. We've been big fans of Tommy at CITIUS MAG since he used to coach Kyle and I've worked on a few stories and projects with him over the years.

In episode #55 of the podcast, Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy interview Dr. Kayla Balcom, PhD, a clinical psychologist and sports psychologist for the Atlanta Track Club, Georgia Tech Athletics, and her own private practice clients. You may remember Dr. Balcom from her interview on More Than Miles in Episode #32: Vulnerability is not a weakness, where she discussed her early sports experiences as a figure skater and later as a recreational runner. She also talked about ways to cultivate more positive mental health as individuals including a discussion of improving our self-talk, being vulnerable, and the unfortunate barriers of accessing mental health services. In this second interview, Dr. Kate and Dr. Kacy interview Dr. Balcom and pick her brain on sports psychology and how mental health can influence performance as an endurance athlete. Dr. Balcom some of the strategies that she uses to improve performance with her athletes including dealing with fear of failure, maximizing an individuals' best performance level of arousal, leveraging reliable routine (aka “superstitions”), and the power of mental imagery and visualization. She discusses how positive self-talk and belifes take work and why this is partly due to our “survival brain” that fixates on the negative experiences as a protective strategy. She also talks about the importance of mental rehearsal or visualization to improve performance and the factors that can make this most effective (HINT: imagery is best performed in “real time” to mimic an actual event or race). Dr. Balcom also talks about optimal mental states to maximize performance including ways to try to find an athlete's best arousal level to perform well (i.e., not too relaxed, but not overly anxious or stressed out). She also explains some of the nuances of “flow” state and how this may be a great “feel good,” or subjective experience, but may not actually correlate to a high performing state. Dr. Balcom shares some neat insight into why athletes may experience fear of failure and how to overcome these self-limiting beliefs and fears. She also shares some tips and tricks to reframe a less than ideal race and how to overcome disappointing performances and move on to future race success and enjoyment. You will not want to miss this rich discussion with Dr. Balcom and some of the keys to cultivating great mental health for your performance as an endurance athlete! But also, as Dr. Kacy says, “people come in the door for the performance benefits and stay for the overall health benefits.” This episode can provide a great perspective on improving overall mental health as well!

After a harrowing two-and-a-half-year quest for answers about her health, Gail was diagnosed with Graves' disease in 1990, just two years before winning her first Olympic gold medal. Her journey back to the track was nothing short of spectacular, especially after overcoming near career-ending symptoms, including extreme weight loss, fatigue, and insomnia.

“Like any athlete or person, when you cross one task off your list you think, ‘I can do better.' After CIM, I feel OK and I ran what I ran but you know what? I probably can run faster. I felt very controlled and ran a very smart, conservative race where I knew I would successfully complete this task and this mission that I'm on.” Maegan Krifchin is a professional marathoner for the Atlanta Track Club and I decided to have her on because I needed to know more about the wild past 30 days for her. It starts on Nov. 6 with the New York City Marathon where she ran 2:40:52 in hot conditions. Two weeks later, she ran 2:31:42 to take second in the cold conditions of the Philadelphia Marathon. She capped off her year with a 2:29:21 in perfect conditions to finish 7th in a personal best at the California International Marathon, which also served as the USATF Marathon Championships. This PR was a long time coming for Maegan so I needed to hear more about her decade-long journey to this marathon threepeat.

After we discuss the BIG news out of Boston, we are so excited to kick off our fall marathon series!  With so many of our runners preparing for fall marathons, we decided to interview the race directors of five upcoming fall marathons!  In this episode, the first of five interviews, we interviewed Rob Mullett, the Events and Operations Manager for Indy Monumental Marathon, which happens to also be Lisa's fall goal race.  We ask all of the questions about the course, logistics and behind-the-scenes tips about this PR-friendly race.  Rob also has an interesting backstory!   Prior to joining the Indy Monumental team in August 2021, Rob was an Event Manager at the Atlanta Track Club where he oversaw race operations for running and walking events, was an integral part of the operations for the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials.  Rob grew up in Sussex, England, and competed for Lewes Athletics Club. Rob earned a scholarship at Butler University where he became the first sub-four-minute miler in school history before graduating with a Master's in Effective Teaching and Leadership.  Rob's athletic career was highlighted by representing Great Britain in the 3,000-meter Steeplechase at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. He set the course record for the CNO Financial Monumental 5K in 2015. We look forward to bringing our listeners more fall marathon race director interviews throughout the month.  Interested in coaching with Run Farther & Faster?  Send us an email!  julieandlisa@runfartherandfaster.com.

"You said, 'I could never do that.' And that actually made me think that you could do it. Because it made me think about what you do every day, and it just felt like you'd be a natural at that role. So that's where we're at." Hi from the Pacific Northwest! I'm coming to you today from Eugene, OR, where I'm working on site as the press conference moderator for the 2022 World Athletics Championships. (How cool is that?!) In this episode, I'm joined by Jay Holder, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Atlanta Track Club, to talk about our respective roles at World Championships and our experiences so far. We talk about how I got this job, what it actually entails, and what the highlights have been so far. We're working hard, getting just enough sleep to get by, and having a lot of fun along the way. (Check out Jay's previous appearances on the Ali on the Run Show, talking about his role at the 2020 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, and about working as the deputy venue media manager for last summer's Tokyo Olympics.)

"I was a complete mess. I was so emotional about it, so excited, so just…relieved to have come in, having a lot of momentum, knowing this was a possibility, and then completing a mission." Olivia Baker is on fire.
