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

Bethan is committed to challenging the way we talk about running to encourage as many people as possible to find joy in the experience. She's an advocate for pace inclusion, spending time outdoors and living well in the world. Bethan in her own words: “I live in South London with my husband Mike, our daughter Evie and Loki the Brussels Griffon in a flat that has views over the whole city.  A few years ago I quit the city and went back to university to work on my PhD and I spend my days researching the representations and identities of women in ultra running in the Sport Business Research Centre at Birkbeck, University of London.  I've struggled with my wellbeing and mental health for most of my life. Over the years I've found things that have helped make things more manageable and I'm passionate about sharing what I've learnt to help other people ‘Live Well In The World'.” *** Don't miss out on the latest episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast, released every Tuesday at 7am UK time!

Two weeks ago, Kayleigh Williamson became one of the first, and quite possibly the first, women with Down syndrome to complete the New York City Marathon. She crossed the finish line alongside her mother, Sandy, and their friend, Tina Muir, both of whom had been with her for the entire 26.2 miles.  Kayleigh's finish went viral, and she, Sandy, and Tina were invited to appear on the “Today Show” with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.  Breaking barriers comes at a cost, however; not only physical and emotional, but financial. Tina has created a GoFundMe fundraiser for Kayleigh and Sandy to help them recoup their expenses to go to the marathon, and maybe give them a little boost going into the holiday season. In this episode, Tina shares the details of the marathon, what it's like to be a guest on a hit TV show, and the rest of a whirlwind day!

Tina Muir and Zoë Rom's book, "Becoming a Sustainable Runner," takes a three-pronged approach to sustainability. Part one, “Sustain Your Runner's Mind and Body,” examines how runners can strengthen their entire being, including ways to increase self-confidence and practice mindfulness, run and cross train to reduce injury, and replenish themselves to keep running strong throughout their life. This week's podcast is a chapter from that section, “Bolster Your Confidence.” It's excerpted from the audiobook, which is read by Tina, and examines ways to avoid self-sabotage, learn self-acceptance, practice self-compassion, and ditch comparisons, which are one of the biggest barriers to accepting ourselves. The audiobook of "Becoming a Sustainable Runner" is available on Amazon, Audible and iTunes; the print version is available from all major booksellers and digitally through Amazon.

Carrie welcomes Tina Muir back to the show! They talk about Tina's new book (“Becoming a Sustainable Runner”), how races can adopt small changes which result in a happier planet, her next race, her RED-S videos, training and lifting weights, and so much more!

My good friends Tina Muir and Zoë Rom are back on the podcast to help all of us improve our running performance for the longterm, improve our personal communities, and our planet. This week their new book Becoming a Sustainable Runner is launching and it is EXCELLENT. This approachable book contains training tips and takeaways for beginner runners and elites alike, teaching them how to approach their own practice in a more sustainable way. It also serves as a useful guide to help runners take meaningful and effective action on climate justice. Weaving together personal stories, research, and expert input, Tina and Zoë illustrate how every runner can better support their own endurance journey, and how they can extend those lessons into meaningful environmental action. Becoming a Sustainable Runner makes a compelling case not just for the “how” of environmental stewardship, but the “why,” so that every athlete can connect their love of running to the landscapes that nourish that love. You can order their new book at https://becomingasustainablerunner.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode I have the dynamic duo of Tina Muir and Zoë Rom. Tina was formerly a professional runner for Great Britain and now hosts the Running for Real Podcast. Zoë is an elite ultra runner and Editor in Chief of Trail Runner Magazine. While each has been a guest on the podcast in the past, this is my first time having a discussion with them both! Zoë and Tina bring a unique perspective to running that has been missing from the books on training and racing that currently exist. Our discussion focuses on what it means to be a sustainable runner, and the various ways you can integrate your personal running journey with the broader community and environment.  Topics we explore include: Zoe and Tina's background and involvement in the running community How a shared love of composting helped lead to writing Becoming a Sustainable Runner Why doing more for “future us” vs. “present us” creates longevity in the sport How to put yourself in positions for a growth mindset The variety of ways you can find and create a running community Zoe and Tina are insightful and engaging, and can help you find even greater meaning in your running. Enjoy our conversation! Thank You Previnex! We're supported by our newest partner, Previnex. After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I'm cautiously changing my tune. I'm less than a year from being a Masters runner and in my personal life, I'm optimizing for longevity. I want to be my healthiest self for as long as possible and I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen. Previnex uses the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, testing of raw ingredients and finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need. I've been taking their Immune Support and multivitamin over the last month and  I feel great. I have more energy and clarity, not to mention peace of mind that I'm giving my body what it needs.  I believe Previnex works and I hope you experience the same benefits as I do. Use code jason15 for 15% off your order at Previnex! Thank you MOBO Board! Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was just at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

Writer and sociologist Lindsey Freeman describes her book, Running, as a feminist and queer handbook of running, but it's a book for all runners.  The existing running literature didn't speak to her, so she wrote the book she wanted but could never find, one that celebrates the freedom and opportunity for self-discovery that running offers, while challenging the notion that everyone is “born to run.” For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode362.   Thank you to Tracksmith, 2before, and Becoming a Sustainable Runner for sponsoring this episode.    Tracksmith is an independent running brand inspired by a deep love of the sport.

As the creator and host of the podcast For the Long Run, Jonathan Levitt unpacks the “why” behind runners' ambitions. As he says, “I'm not interested in, ‘Oh, talk to me about your splits and tell me about your training.' I want to know who you are, what you care about, and how you can help other people.” He hopes that by sharing his own running journey, from his pursuit of breaking three hours in the marathon to trail running and chasing a five-minute mile, he'll encourage others to step out of their comfort zones and pursue their goals.

Colson Smith has been in the public eye since he was a child. When he joined the cast of Coronation Street 13 years ago, he became part of a national institution. As a star of the iconic TV show and a host of the hit podcast The Sofa Cinema Club, alongside his Corrie co-stars Ben Price and Jack P. Shepherd, he's under constant scrutiny by the press and social media.  When the world went into lockdown three years ago, he seized the opportunity to do something for himself away from the tabloid glare and started running. He ran his first marathon last month, and says, without hesitation, that running has changed his life.

A lot has happened since Kara Goucher was last on the podcast, three years ago. In 2022, the World Championships silver medalist and two-time Olympian was diagnosed with repetitive exercise dystonia, a rare neurological disorder. To prevent her symptoms from becoming worse, she's had to drastically reduce her running, putting an end to her competitive career.  This year, however, brought much better news: her memoir, "The Longest Race: Inside the Secret World of Abuse, Doping, and Deception on Nike's Elite Running Team", debuted at number 7 on The New York Times' bestseller list. She's also launched a podcast with Des Linden, "Nobody Asked Us", where they share their takes on all things running.

Neither of those options keeps your car clean, not to mention that they can be dangerous.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be the partner of someone who's about to run across Africa? Alice Light, an ultra runner herself, knows. Her partner, Deo, is embarking on a run from Cape Town to London on July 24th.  Most people will never be in the position of supporting a loved one who's taking on an epic journey across two continents and 16 countries, but you can support anyone in any endeavor, no matter how big or small. As Alice says, “We're stronger together. And the journey is much more fun if we're not alone.” You can learn more about Deo's Cape Town to London run on GoFundMe.

Martinus Evans wants everyone to embrace the joys of running at their own pace. He runs races from 5K to the marathon, but, as he says, “Our lives don't depend on what place we finish the race in. So if that isn't the case, then why take it so seriously?” He created a group where he would feel at home, the Slow AF Run Club, an online community with over 25,000 members that he describes as “the Facebook for the Back of the Pack.” The Slow AF Run Club book is coming out next week, providing information and inspiration for anyone who wants to run, at any speed.

After four thwarted attempts at racing an ultramarathon, Tina Muir ran the Bryce Canyon 50 Miler on May 20th. Bryce Canyon almost didn't happen either; the race was on the same day as the funeral of her close friend, Patrick, whom she had lost just a few weeks earlier, and she struggled with whether or not to run. But Patrick's widow knew that he would have wanted her to carry on and encouraged her to run the race to honor him.  Patrick must have been proud: Tina finished first female, third overall, and with the 4th-fastest women's time in the race's history.

Tina is currently preparing for her first ultramarathon, the Bryce Canyon 50 Miler, so we thought this was an appropriate time to reshare an episode from June 2018 with the amazing ultrarunner Courtney Dauwalter.  In this episode, she shares her experiences of hallucinating and running blind, her favorite moment on her way to victory in the Moab 240, and her advice for pushing through tough times.
