In this episode of the Beyond Running Podcast, Mau Díaz, co-founder of Aire Libre,
engages in a compelling conversation with Tina Muir.
Tina Muir, known for her popular Running for Real podcast, discusses her evolving relationship with running, highlighting the shift from an intense, performance-driven mindset to a more inclusive, community-oriented approach. She opens up about the challenges and rewards of this transition and how it has enriched her life and connections within the running world.
The conversation delves into Tina’s new book, “Becoming a Sustainable Runner: A Guide to Running for Life, Community, and Planet,” where she offers valuable insights on how to sustain a lifelong love for running. Tina and Mau explore the themes of the book, discussing the importance of running for personal well-being, fostering community bonds, and respecting and preserving our natural environment.
Tina is a former elite marathoner who is now the CEO of Running for Real and hosts a podcast of the same name. She founded Running for Real to inspire runners to be brave, step out of their comfort zones, and work towards a better world. Believing that running can drive social change, Tina started collaborating with the United Nations in 2021 and is recognized as a top climate activist in the running community.
Originally from St. Albans, England, Tina now lives in St. Louis, Missouri. She left a professional running career, marked by a marathon time of 2:36 and a half marathon time of 1:13, to focus on her health. She co-authored the 2023 book Becoming a Sustainable Runner: A Guide to Running for Life, Community, and Planet.
