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.
