For Real, Though episodes

  • Lucie Hanes: Your Humanity Can Be a Super Power - R4R 383

    Lucie Hanes is a professional ultra runner, a professional climber, a journalist, and a sports psychologist. Those potentially conflicting pursuits actually complement each other, as evidenced by her second place finish in her debut 100 mile race, the 2023 Leadville 100 Trail Run. Remarkably, that achievement came after health issues forced her to stop training the year before. She discovered how much mental health affects athletic performance and now helps other athletes through her mental performance counseling practice, Inside Out Athlete.

    HydraPak is the number one original equipment manufacturer of reservoirs and soft flasks in the world.

Most recently, they unveiled their Cupless Racing Partnership Program, designed to support trail and road races across the country in eliminating race day waste by offering their collapsible and reusable SpeedCup as an alternative to single-use cups at running events.

  • Kayla Jeter: 1% Better Each Day - R4R 382

    Kayla Jeter has always been athletic: she was a professional volleyball player after a stellar high school and college career, and moved onto coaching at the University of Cincinnati. But running became an important part of her life when she was caring for her dying mother and was embraced by the running community. Since then, she's helped that community grow through the 100 Miles of Summer challenge, and as Run Community Lead for AG1.

  • Jason Suarez: Work for Your Own Dreams - R4R 380

    Jason Suarez dreamt of going to the Olympics. He ran track in high school and college, but when he went to Tokyo in 2021, it wasn't as a runner, but as a photographer. He shoots for major running brands, has published three collections of running photos and stories, and his handle, @notafraid2fail, is well-known in the running world. But as in demand as he is, Jason still takes time to give back to others.

  • James Fell: The Sweary Historian - R4R 379

    William Faulkner said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." As James Fell recounts it, the past is alive, kicking, and throwing f-bombs. Volume I of his self-published, two-volume On This Day in History Sh!t Went Down has just been republished by Bantam Books.

    Before he became the "Sweary Historian" though, James was a fitness columnist for the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, and authored two books on fitness and motivation. And as befits a fitness writer, he's a long-time runner.

  • Tim Tollefson on the Road to CIM Series: Celebrating Others Is a Beautiful Thing - R4R 378

    From the outside, Tim Tollefson appeared to have everything as a runner. He was a collegiate steeplechase champion, a 2-time US Olympic Marathon Trials qualifier, and is one of the country's most accomplished ultra runners. He podiumed at UTMB in both his 100K and 100 mile debuts, and went on to win the Javelina Jundred, Lavaredo Ultra Trail 120K, and the Ultra Trail Australia 100K.

    But appearances can be deceiving, and a focus on appearances can be devastating. Tim suffered from body dysmorphia and its accompanying OCD for two decades. As he relates in "What Goes Unsaid," a film project he participated in last year for World Mental Health Day, "I've spent a lifetime hating myself for what I'm not, instead of being thankful for what I am." Now, largely through his involvement with the running community, he's come to appreciate running for the gift that it is.

    This episode is part of the Road to CIM podcast series, for runners participating in the race next weekend, there's extra advice for you!

  • NYC Marathon and the Today Show - R4R 377

    Two weeks ago, Kayleigh Williamson became one of the first, and quite possibly the first, women with Down syndrome to complete the New York City Marathon. She crossed the finish line alongside her mother, Sandy, and their friend, Tina Muir, both of whom had been with her for the entire 26.2 miles.

    Kayleigh's finish went viral, and she, Sandy, and Tina were invited to appear on the "Today Show" with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager.

    Breaking barriers comes at a cost, however; not only physical and emotional, but financial. Tina has created a GoFundMe fundraiser for Kayleigh and Sandy to help them recoup their expenses to go to the marathon, and maybe give them a little boost going into the holiday season.

    In this episode, Tina shares the details of the marathon, what it's like to be a guest on a hit TV show, and the rest of a whirlwind day!

  • Oren Jay Sofer: Water Your Healthy Seeds - R4R 376

    With wars raging in Ukraine, Gaza, and Sudan; political polarization; the after effects of the COVID 19 pandemic; and the climate crisis, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the state of the world. With his new book, Your Heart Was Made for This: Contemplative Practices to Meet a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity, and Love, Oren Jay Sofer offers a practical guide to living a meaningful life in a time of great uncertainty and upheaval.

    "Every day we are practicing something with how we live, how we use our attention, the things we think, say, and do. And if we are intentional about that every day, we can grow stronger, more resilient, more kind, loving, and flexible. It is an incredibly, hopefully empowering message that we can shape our life and position ourselves to be as resilient as possible in the face of so much change and challenge and hardship."

  • Sustain Your Planet - R4R 375

    This week we're highlighting the third section of Tina Muir and Zoë Rom's book, "Becoming a Sustainable Runner." We've shared chapters about sustaining your runner's mind and body and your running community; in this episode, we'll look at sustaining the planet.

    In the "Be an Eco-Conscious Traveler" chapter, Tina and Zoë explain how you can develop a pro-environmental lens, consider the benefits of exploring closer to home, look at air travel options for the times that you do want to venture further afield, and offer suggestions that will help you find accommodations and eat in ways that are good for you and for the planet!

    To make traveling easier, we've created a Sustainable Packing Guide that you can download for free at https://runningforreal.com/runners-sustainable-guides/.

    We also have Sustainable Runner's Guides to the New York City Marathon and the Chicago Marathon, which you can also find at https://runningforreal.com/runners-sustainable-guides/.

    The audiobook of Becoming a Sustainable Runner is available on Amazon, Audible and iTunes; the print version is available from all major booksellers and the ebook is available on Amazon.

    For complete show notes and links, visit our website at runningforreal.com/episode375.

Their performance running shoe, the Tree Flyer, is lightweight, super springy, and wildly comfortable, and they're Tina's go-to running shoes. The Tree Dasher is not only a running shoe, it's perfect for daily wear. You might also want to check out the Plant Pacers, made from plant leather.
