Tina Muir from Running for Real is the founder and CEO of Running for Real; host of the award-winning podcast of the same name and co-host of Running Realized; a mother of two; and a former elite runner turned sustainability advocate. Tina and I chat about her new book Becoming a Sustainable Runner and her concern for health, community, and the environment. This was truly a special conversation that I think you will really enjoy as Tina was as real during our chat as she is on her podcast! We get into the following topics and so much more: - What does “Becoming” mean to Tina - What Tina learned from all her conversations on the Running for Real Podcast that helped her write her new book - Why is sustaining the runner’s mind and body important - How does life stressors affect our running - Was it hard for Tina to incorporate sustainable strength into her running - Managing achilles tendinopathy - How can runners sustain their communities - What can every runner do to sustain the planet - Misconception about becoming a sustainable runner   This was a reflective and informative conversation with a true leader within the running and podcast community!  Tina Muir starts conversations, shares resources, and walks the walk about sustainability, climate change, and how individuals can make a positive difference in their own lives.  I hope you not only enjoy this conversation but most importantly, learn a thing or two that you can implement into your running, community, and planet!   Links and Resources from the show:   - Order your copy of the book Becoming a Sustainable Runner - Learn more about Tina and Running for Real - Follow Tina on Instagram - Listen to the Running for Real Podcast - Check out Tina on the Running for Real YouTube channel - Download my free 6 Steps to Lifelong Injury Free Running E-book   Want Dr. Duane to answer your question on the podcast?  Submit questions here   Want the structured strength and run plan with motivation and accountability to reach your highest running potential?
