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.

Allbirds looks at everything through a sustainability lens; it’s at the core of who they are as a company and the products they create. 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.

| 0:20.0 | and discover ways it helps us become better people. |
| 0:23.0 | Whether it's the quiet moments of a morning run while the rest of the world still sleeps, |
| 0:28.0 | or befriending the strangers next to you at the start line of a race, |
| 0:31.0 | we are here to connect with others who see running as the common |

| 0:39.8 | from all walks of life, united by a love of running. |
| 0:44.7 | Hello my friends welcome to episode 381 of the Running Proal Podcast, our last episode of the year. |
| 0:57.0 | It has been a year. |
| 1:00.0 | Now I'm looking back on this and seeing all that we did in 2023 is actually quite hard to wrap my head around to be honest. |

| 1:55.0 | questions to you think about your own running in your own life so you can hear my |
| 1:58.4 | recap so you can hear my updates but I also want to at least in my own head envision that I can hear yours too and if you want to do a post |
| 2:07.7 | responding to this the prompts I haven't actually written any prompts down by the way |
| 2:17.8 | then feel free to do that. I would love to see it. I am, my social media will be |
| 2:24.0 | reinstalled actually around when you were listening to this, so I may have a few days to catch up. But I would really love to see you also free to send me an email or share about it in |
