Tina Muir is the founder and CEO of Running for Real, a support network and community for runners; a mother of two; and a former elite runner turned sustainability advocate. She hosts the Running For Real podcast, a collection of conversations about running, the climate emergency, and social justice, and co-hosts Running Realized, a podcast that provides a space to explore difficult subjects and offers insights to create meaningful change in the running world and beyond. With an impressive athletic career, including representing Great Britain and Northern Ireland in a world championship, Tina enjoyed success in the world of competitive running. However, it was during this time that she realized the profound impact her lifestyle had on the environment. She made a commitment to embrace sustainable living and reduce her carbon footprint, and recognizing the power of her platform as a renowned athlete and influencer, leveraged her position to advocate for climate change action. Tina has worked with the United Nations on campaigns related to climate change and humanitarian affairs, and has written for the UN Chronicle. The New York City Marathon, Chicago Marathon, Peachtree Road Race, and more have brought her onto their sustainability teams. Through her podcast and social media presence, she starts conversations and shares resources on sustainability, climate change, and how individuals can make a positive difference in their own lives. Her book, Becoming a Sustainable Runner, co-written with Zoë Rom, merges runners’ passion for their sport with their concern for their health, their community, and the environment. As the first elite athlete to openly discuss having amenorrhea, Tina’s story went viral and was featured in People Magazine, The Daily Mail, Runners World, Women’s Running, and on ESPN. Since then she has become an advocate and supporter for others suffering from RED-S / REDs (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport). Tina’s story resonates with people from all walks of life. Her relatable and accessible approach has empowered many to become sustainability advocates themselves, creating a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond the realm of athletics.
