Tina Muir, Creator Of Running For Real On The Importance Of Being Silly And Chasing The Fun

Tina created Running For Real, the largest global community of runners contributing and connecting positively to the world around them.  She is the host of the Running for Real podcast and, more recently, co-host of Running Realized, a podcast that holds a mission to explore running culture as a vehicle to realize its full potential and one that asks us all to be a part of the solution.  Tina is recognized as one of the lead climate activists in the running space and, in 2021, began collaborating with the United Nations on climate change initiatives.  She is a runner, mom, and entrepreneur who plays many roles daily and holds decades of experiential knowledge that flows naturally as our conversation ensues.
