  • Yatika Starr Fields: An Advocate through Movement - R4R 343

    When Yatika Starr Fields, an Indigenous runner, artist, and advocate, ran the Western States 100 in 2022, it wasn't only for himself; it was for the Native American community. For the first time, the Western States Endurance Run officially acknowledged the Washoe tribe, the original stewards of the land on which their race takes place, and they released their first official race poster, from one of Yatika's paintings.

    Yatika's experience at Western States is the subject of the new short film, Know To Run, produced by the Indigenous-led, grassroots organization Rising Hearts.

    Thank you to Örlö and Tracksmith for sponsoring this episode.

    Örlö is the world's most sustainable algae supplement. Algae is a potent source of EPA and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids that are essential to life. They help you take care of your brain health, heart health, and immune system, and your body absorbs them three times better than fish oil. They also don't have that fishy aftertaste!

    Örlö's algae is grown in pristine water in Iceland using only green energy and they employ a carbon-negative production process. 99% less land and water resources are used, so you get 100% of the benefit with 0% of the guilt!

    You can go here and use code TINA at checkout to save 12%!

    Tracksmith is an independent running brand inspired by a deep love of the sport. For years the brand has elevated running wear using best-in-class materials and timeless silhouettes that perform at the highest level and can be worn everyday, not just for running.

    Tracksmith helps the environment by making comfortable, durable clothes that will last for years, rather than winding up in the landfill, but that's not the only contribution they make. They supported Running for Real in creating our RED-S: Realize. Reflect. Recover program. They help athletes who are trying to make the Olympic trials, and they offer scholarships for creatives to work on their crafts. They also have lots of events - Tina will be hosting events with them at the Boston and London marathons.

    If you're a new customer, go here and use the code TINANEW at checkout to get $15 off. Returning customers can use the code TINAGIVE, and Tracksmith will donate 5% of your order to TrackGirlz.

    RED-S: Realize. Reflect. Recover. Please help us spread the word about RED-S / REDs! It's a common belief that only elite athletes suffer from Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, but it can affect anyone whose energy output exceeds what they're taking in, and it can have long-term health consequences, especially on bone health.

    We have 50+ videos on YouTube, with experts answering questions about all the different aspects of RED-S. Even if you don't have RED-S, there's valuable information there for all athletes, especially about nutrition.

    If you are suffering from RED-S, you'll find support and expert advice in our private community, which is free to join!

    Thanks for listening!

  • Corinna Bellizzi: Nutrition without Compromise - R4R 342

    Corinna Bellizzi is an impact entrepreneur, a climate activist, and host of two podcasts, "Nutrition without Compromise" and "Care More, Be Better. " She's passionate about sustainable nutrition, especially omega-3s, which are essential for everyone to survive and for runners and other athletes to thrive.

  • Liz Rock: Movement Is Power - R4R 341

    Running is much more than a sport to Liz Rock, co-founder of the Bra Run and the women's running crew, TrailblazHers. Its impact on her goes far beyond the physical benefits. As Liz says, "Running has been such a huge pillar in my life that it's legit changed who I am."

    She's changing the lives of other women, as well. TrailblazHers isn't about competition; it's about collaboration. It takes a holistic approach to its community, caring about its members' mental, spiritual and emotional health, not just the mileage that they run. It's about women believing in themselves and holding space for each other.

  • Elizabeth Inpyn: Your Friendships Are Your Responsibility - R4R 339

    Females need deep female friendships. That's why Elizabeth Inpyn is on the podcast today, not because she's an athlete, sports nutritionist and coach, but because she's Tina's best friend. They talk about finding friends, what makes a friendship special and why you don't have to be close physically to have a meaningful relationship.

    As Elizabeth says, "There's value in proximity, but it doesn't take proximity to have a valuable friendship."
