For Real, Though

Tina reflects on what we did at Running for Real in 2022, and shares some of our exciting plans for 2023. We've had a growing focus on environmental action, which we'll continue to pursue. We're launching a terrific online resource, "RED-S: Realize, Reflect, Recover" to help anyone affected by Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, from beginner runners to elite athletes. And of course we've welcomed amazing, inspiring guests to the podcast, and look forward to introducing our audience to many more. There's a lot to look back on and forward to!

Oladance Wearable Stereos deliver high-quality sound without ever going in your ear. They have a secure fit so they're perfect for running, but so comfortable that you can wear them for hours. Since they don't go in your ear, you can still hear outside sounds and remain aware of your surroundings. The audio quality is outstanding; Oladance is truly a wearable stereo, with 360° sound. It also has a super long battery life - up to 16 hours!

Oladance is for people who love to move, to be active, and to listen to music, podcasts or books with superior sound. You'll love Oladance for yourself, and they make a perfect gift. You can go here and use code TINA to save 20% on your order!

AG1 is an easy way to get 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food source ingredients. It promotes gut health with prebiotics, probiotics, and naturally occurring enzymes; supports your immune system with Vitamin C, zinc, healing mushrooms, and more; provides magnesium to boost energy; and it's packed with superfoods, adaptogens, and antioxidants to help recovery. It's simple to make and it tastes good!

This is the time of year when our immune systems can use a boost, not only because it's cold and flu season, but because with less sunlight, our vitamin D levels drop. Go here to get five free travel packs of AG1, and they'll also send you a free one year's supply of vitamin D3+K2 with your subscription, to help keep you healthy year-round.

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.

One of the best things we can do for the environment is to be thoughtful with our purchases and buy durable, long-lasting items, instead of cheap ones that will wear out quickly and wind up in the landfill. Tracksmith's clothes will last for years and still be in the same condition as when you bought them. Tina has had the same Brighton Base Layer since 2018! It's made from a Merino wool blend that regulates your temperature and fights odors during cold winter months.

Go here and use the code TINA15 at checkout. It will give you free shipping and Tracksmith will donate 5% of your order to Rising Hearts, the Indigenous-led nonprofit founded by Jordan Marie Daniels.

Many listeners will recognize themselves in Brodie Sharpe's analyses of injured runners. As a runner himself, he relates to the ways that runners' personalities can contribute to injury. As a physiotherapist, he uses that understanding to inform his holistic approach to helping them recover. If you're a runner who tends to get injured, this episode is definitely for you.

Brodie is the host of the Run Smarter podcast, founder and CEO of the Run Smarter series, and author of Run Smarter: Evidence-Based Guidance to Help You Survive & Thrive as a Runner.

Allbirds' performance running shoe, the Tree Flyer, is lightweight, super springy, and wildly comfortable, and they're Tina's go-to running shoes. They're her workout shoes, and she's run three marathons and an ultra in them.

The Tree Flyer isn't Allbirds' only great shoe. The Tree Dasher is not only a running shoe, it's perfect for daily wear. For water repellent shoes, look no further than the Mizzle series. Allbirds has also introduced plant leather shoes, the Plant Pacers. You can see their complete collection here.

In a world full of busy and stressful moments, these runs slow things down, and will really make you feel like you are running side by side with Tina. Through meditative elements of running like nature check ins, body scans, senses check ins, and a mental health check in, Tina will connect your body and mind before going into a conversation.

"Thank you" to India. We look forward to hearing your thoughts on the show.

Nick Cutsumpas admits that going for a run with him can be "a hassle" because he'll stop to take pictures of plants. That just comes with the territory when your running companion is "Farmer Nick," host of Netflix's Instant Dream Home. An urban gardener and landscape designer, Nick believes that the more you're connected to nature, the more likely you are to act with its best interest in mind. His new book, Plant Coach: The Beginner's Guide to Caring for Plants and the Planet, revolves around the idea that plants are stepping stones towards sustainability, the botanical bridge that will allow you to connect differently with nature.

Allbirds' performance running shoe, the Tree Flyer, is lightweight, super springy, and wildly comfortable. Its high-performance midsole is big on cushion and energy return, making long runs easier on your body. The external heel counter and flared, geometric midsole help keep your stride steady, and the lightweight, breathable eucalyptus fiber upper provides next-level comfort.

Tina does all of her long runs in them, and has run three marathons in them. Plus, the Tree Flyer has a carbon footprint of only 8.09 kg CO2e, so it's not only good for your running, but good for the planet too. You can see Allbirds' complete collection here.

Come join Tina for a early morning Together Run from St Louis, where she takes runners through the usual meditative, grounding exercises- nature check in, body scan, senses check in, mental health check in, and updates, before diving into her last week. What was it like taking photos for the cover of Becoming A Sustainable Runner (coming out August 2023) and what is The Running Event, Tina will explain all.

Chris Mosier is the first trans athlete to compete for Team USA, first trans man to represent the United States in international competition, and first trans athlete to qualify for the Olympic Trials in any sport in a category different than their sex assigned at birth. He's been hailed by the BBC as "the man who changed the Olympics," credited for the International Olympic Committee's policy change for trans athletes.

In light of the recent tragedy at Club Q in Colorado Springs, we felt that this was an appropriate time to reshare this episode, which was initially released in February, 2021.
