Has the pandemic helped you discover more benefits to your running? Hmmm. Yes, but for me, I am not sure it is necessarily pandemic-related, but instead just general growth and maturity. That said, without the pandemic, I would likely not have created Together Runs, which yes, have been very popular, but have also been a gift to me to feel more connected to other runners. I love seeing where you are when you're running, those of you who send me your images, and what you look like when you're running. It really makes me feel that I can imagine you there and envision you there. So I feel that even when I'm training alone, I'm surrounded by other people. So that has definitely been an unexpected benefit that I feel the community even more, even though I run on my own almost every day. As for other benefits, mostly what comes to mind is just how much I love being around other runners. More than that, I mean the connection with genuinely good, loving people who make this world better, but just happen to be runners. I love the way running weaves throughout all of our lives and often becomes the analogy for many things, but it's not all of who we are. I'm not sure I would have realized how much those people meant to me without the pandemic. The pandemic also gave me the idea for Running Realized, which went on to be one of the most powerful projects I have worked on. While we are not ready for another season yet (there are a lot of factors making that tough right now), it was truly life changing and helped me see that I could be a part of changing the world for the better, and opening up the eyes of others who genuinely wanted to do better and do something. Finally, the pandemic made all races disappear for a while and at least be different for a while after that, which allowed me to continue down my path of discovering what running really means to me when I'm not competing. So I guess yes, it has benefited my running and yes, I suppose the answer to the original question is a big “yes,” when I said in fact it was a “no” at the beginning. If you have a question that you'd like answered, you can email kat@runningforreal.com and she'll pass it along to Tina! Thanks for listening!

Tina created Running For Real, the largest global community of runners contributing and connecting positively to the world around them. She is the host of the Running for Real podcast and, more recently, co-host of Running Realized, a podcast that holds a mission to explore running culture as a vehicle to realize its full potential and one that asks us all to be a part of the solution. Tina is recognized as one of the lead climate activists in the running space and, in 2021, began collaborating with the United Nations on climate change initiatives. She is a runner, mom, and entrepreneur who plays many roles daily and holds decades of experiential knowledge that flows naturally as our conversation ensues. We hope you take away many nuggets of gold and put one thing into action today! In this episode, we discuss. - breaking out of the boxes we create about our identity - mental and physical burnout from running - breakdown to breakthrough - the challenge of not doing - armor up and get it done - the ‘fixing' mentality - embracing silliness vs seriousness - being the mom who dances with her kid - running to chase the fun - climate change and the health of our planet - pro-environmental lens - what we focus on expands - 71% emissions coming from 100 companies - talking about the environment is activism - explore close to home - working with UN - daily non-negotiables We hope you enjoy the show. Namaste- Jess

“I think running is a vehicle for conversations, which we've learned with Running Realized. But also, it is a way that runners get stuff done. We are determined, and focused, and committed. And so I think there's a lot of potential there for our community."Today's guest is Tina Muir, former elite marathoner and host of the Running for Real and Running Realized podcasts.Today's episode with Tina was special for a few reasons. One - Tina has become a very important voice in the running community. So we feel very lucky to spend time with her to chat about her journey as a runner and how the sport fits into her life today. And two - I'm having this conversation solo. My co-host, Bryan Green, couldn't join us because he's in another time zone over in Sendai, Japan. (Don't worry Bryan, I got this!)Lessons and tips seem to just roll off the top of her head as she speaks about her running experiences. Our exploration of the meaning of running in her life today and the role goals can play in your own running are what stand out for me from our chat. There are plenty of opportunities for you to get to know Tina as a mother, runner and activist through her two podcast shows, Running for Real and Running Realized. In this one-on-one conversation, I hope you'll discover something meaningful that helps you enjoy your running just a little bit more. Oh, and if you're running the New York City Marathon, Tina will be there running the race too!Show Notes:(4:11) New York City Marathon and a 50K…(6:32) Handling transitions in running and life…(11:27) Stressing yourself out for stress sake…(14:00) “I love where I'm at right now, and it is very much anti-goals, in a lot of ways.”(18:37) “I promise you there is a way of doing special things--especially if you've got years of training under your belt--without that intensity, that, yes, sucks away so much of the enjoyment of the process.”(21:14) Why the longer distances?(26:25) Remembering what community is like…(27:45) The great conversations in Running For Real and Running Realized…(33:08) “Not everyone has to be as fired up about climate action as I am.

An exploration of how climate change is impacting the sport we love and what others are individually doing to change it. This bonus episode is a collaboration with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), for World Humanitarian Day (WHD) 2021 to bring awareness to the critical conversations happening right now. First, through the storytelling of Fernanda Maciel on how she left her job as an environmental lawyer and now annually creates her “white flow” campaigns; a combination of incredible feats of running to drive awareness and enact change focused on environmental sustainability. Next, a discussion with Marinel Ubaldo, a climate justice activist from the Philippines who tells the story of how the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 impacted her community and the realities that global climate change is negatively impacting the world's most vulnerable communities. Then, we'll do a breakdown and call to action on how you can take immediate next steps on being an active participant in being a running climate activist.

“I genuinely believe that we should be learning our entire life. And there's a part of me that feels excited for when I'm 78 years old, and all the things I will have learned.”Difficult conversations can very often lead into areas of personal growth.Lifelong runner Tina Muir doesn’t shy away from these discussions as she builds her two successful running podcasts, Running for Real and Running Realized, and continues to challenge fixed mindsets.Timestamped Show Notes:(2:50) Growing up in a classically English town…(6:03) The difference between club sports and school sports…(8:13) “When I was coming up to my final year of college, people kept saying, ‘Are you going to go pro?’ And I was like, ‘What does that even mean?’” (11:12) A lifestyle component to pursuing sports…(14:24) “I can absolutely see why she said that I wasn't committed. I was just plodding along, not really trying. But I did manage to pull it together for the final few races. And once I got through that part, it was not a question—running was a part of me.”(16:52) When commitment goes too far…(19:00) And then there’s those who don’t commit…(20:40) Do you have a fixed mindset or growth mindset?(23:08) The mission of Go Be More…(25:21) “To ignore your dreams, in my opinion, is really to ignore the opportunity to fully understand who you are before it's all said and done.”—Jon(26:50) Does the influence of others impact your mindset?(30:04) A surprising decision…(33:50) “Once I decided I'm done then I felt a huge relief... but I just couldn't get myself to say it. And even when I stopped, I think that was such a dramatic, emotional moment that I didn't know it was for sure. But once I said it in a calm, rational manner, after thinking about it for a few days, then it felt like a huge relief.”(34:29) A couple of new distractions… (37:04) How much did you evolve as a podcaster?(39:40) Conversations that grew into a different platform…(41:21) Running For Real and Running Realized explained…(44:36) What does Go Be More mean to you...“Taking yourself beyond your comfort zone and stepping out to a place that feels like it's helping you to grow and evolve. And I genuinely believe that we should be learning our entire life. And there's a part of me that feels excited for when I'm 78 years old, all the things I will have learned. I'd say it's just what we've been talking about today. Like stretching yourself and taking that deep breath and then doing it anyway, whatever scares you, take a deep breath and go for it.”If you liked this episode, check out our interviews with Kara Goucher and Audra Bryant.Recorded April 30, 2021.References:Running for Real - websiteRunning Realized - websiteGuest:Tina Muir - website | Instagram | TwitterHosts:Bryan Green - bryan@gobemore.co, maketheleapbook.comJon Rankin - @chasejonrankin, Go Be MoreLinks:Go Be More Podcast - Episodes | Instagram | FacebookGo Be More websiteGo Be More YouTube ChannelProduction and EditingCreatives Collective MarketingImage Credit: Sandy Gutierrez
