The Running for Real Podcast

Tina Muir

About

A collective of conversations that inspire, motivate, and encourage runners who know deep down that the world we want to create already exists. We all play a role in bringing it to life. Join former professional runner and life-long athlete, Tina Muir in this unique running podcast. We do not talk to professional runners about their wins or the Olympics. We do not talk about what shoes to wear or what training is best. Instead, we relate every experience back to you, and love to think hard about the questions you would always love to ask.

While we bring on well known guests like Malcolm Gladwell, Reshma Saujani, Ryan Holiday, Des Linden, Michael Gervais, and David Epstein, these are not the same old conversations. This feels more like overhearing two friends talking about the deep conversations that weigh on our hearts daily. Join us in discovering the power of running, why our sport has always been part of humanity, and how we can use it as a tool for realizing our truest self, uplifting our communities, celebrating cultures, and taking care of our Mother Earth.

Ian Gonzalez: Community Defender - R4R 388

Ian Gonzalez is a trailblazer. He co-founded 7 on Sundays,  the first run crew on Chicago’s South Side, an area where running as a pastime had been virtually nonexistent. 7 on Sundays created a community of runners, but there was nowhere for them to buy running shoes, clothes, or nutrition. Ian filled that void by opening Last Lap Cornerstore, the only running store on the South Side, and the only Black/Latino-owned running store in the city. He was forced to close the store, but is determined that Last Lap will return to serve the area’s runners.  For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode388 https://runningforreal.com/ian-gonzalez/.   THANK YOU TO HYDRAPAK, AG1, AND TRACKSMITH FOR SPONSORING THIS EPISODE.  HYDRAPAK is the number one original equipment manufacturer of reservoirs and soft flasks in the world.

Vanessa Peralta-Mitchell: Live a Life without Limits - R4R 387

A conversation with her mother and a television documentary changed the trajectory of Vanessa Peralta-Mitchell’s life.

This year she was honored with Running USA’s Award of Excellence, which recognizes “outstanding contributions, initiative, leadership or innovation in the running industry.” Vanessa checks all of those boxes.

Tina Muir: I've Got My Path - R4R 386

In October 2022, Tina released a podcast episode called “I Felt So Lost.” At the time, she knew she wanted to combine running with sustainability, but she wasn’t quite sure what direction that would take.

Vergil Chames: Selma to Montgomery - R4R 385

On March 16, the Selma to Montgomery Relay will follow the route taken by Civil Rights Movement activists in March 1965, as they walked from Selma, Alabama to the state capital of Montgomery, to protest the blocking of Black Americans’ right to vote.

Lucie Hanes: Your Humanity Can Be a Super Power - R4R 383

Remarkably, that achievement came after health issues forced her to stop training the year before. She discovered how much mental health affects athletic performance and now helps other athletes through her mental performance counseling practice, Inside Out Athlete.  For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode383 https://runningforreal.com/lucie-hanes/.   THANK YOU TO HYDRAPAK, TRACKSMITH, AND PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION FOR SPONSORING THIS EPISODE.    HYDRAPAK is the number one original equipment manufacturer of reservoirs and soft flasks in the world.

Jason Suarez: Work for Your Own Dreams - R4R 380

Jason Suarez dreamt of going to the Olympics. He ran track in high school and college, but when he went to Tokyo in 2021, it wasn’t as a runner, but as a photographer.

James Fell: The Sweary Historian - R4R 379

William Faulkner said, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” As James Fell recounts it, the past is alive, kicking, and throwing f-bombs. Volume I of his self-published, two-volume On This Day in History Sh!t Went Down https://jamesfell.com/books/ has just been republished by Bantam Books. Before he became the "Sweary Historian" though, James was a fitness columnist for the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, and authored two books on fitness and motivation. And as befits a fitness writer, he’s a long-time runner.

Tim Tollefson on the Road to CIM Series: Celebrating Others Is a Beautiful Thing - R4R 378

From the outside, Tim Tollefson appeared to have everything as a runner. He was a collegiate steeplechase champion, a 2-time US Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, and is one of the country’s most accomplished ultra runners. He podiumed at UTMB in both his 100K and 100 mile debuts, and went on to win the Javelina Jundred, Lavaredo Ultra Trail 120K, and the Ultra Trail Australia 100K. But appearances can be deceiving, and a focus on appearances can be devastating. Tim suffered from body dysmorphia and its accompanying OCD for two decades. As he relates in “What Goes Unsaid https://youtu.be/fdlTL14vZqQ?si=eYWDYO1cd2y7bZiv,”  a film project he participated in last year for World Mental Health Day, “I’ve spent a lifetime hating myself for what I’m not, instead of being thankful for what I am.”  Now, largely through his involvement with the running community, he’s come to appreciate running for the gift that it is.   This episode is part of the Road to CIM podcast series, for runners participating in the race next weekend, there’s extra advice for you!

NYC Marathon and the Today Show - R4R 377

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!

Oren Jay Sofer: Water Your Healthy Seeds - R4R 376

With wars raging in Ukraine, Gaza, and Sudan; political polarization; the after effects of the COVID 19 pandemic; and the climate crisis, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the state of the world. With his new book, Your Heart Was Made for This: Contemplative Practices to Meet a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity, and Love, Oren Jay Sofer offers a practical guide to living a meaningful life in a time of great uncertainty and upheaval.  “Every day we are practicing something with how we live, how we use our attention, the things we think, say, and do. And if we are intentional about that every day, we can grow stronger, more resilient, more kind, loving, and flexible. It is an incredibly, hopefully empowering message that we can shape our life and position ourselves to be as resilient as possible in the face of so much change and challenge and hardship.” For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode376 https://runningforreal.com/oren-jay-sofer-2/.   THANK YOU TO PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION, TRACKSMITH, AND AG1 FOR SPONSORING THIS EPISODE.    PRECISION FUEL & HYDRATION helps athletes crush their fueling and hydration so they can perform at their best.

Sustain Your Runner's Mind and Body - R4R 373

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.
