Summary

In this episode I transparently share about my experience as a distance athlete, the trials and tribulations I faced, and revel in the expertise of my friend, Tina Muir. Her guest appearance originally appeared on Nutrition Without Compromise, but now I'm sharing it from start to finish with all of you.

Tina Muir is a former elite distance runner of the UK and Ireland, who has become an inspirational leader and podcaster with her podcast and website of the same name, Running For Real. She is presently training for the Boston Marathon, the UK Marathon, which she will run as a guide, and is prepping for the release of her book (which you can preorder now), Becoming A Sustainable Runner: A Guide to Running for Life, Community and Planet.

Key takeaways from this episode:

- The science of health and nutrition in relation to running

- What it means to be a sustainable runner

- The gift of Together Runs

- Exciting things from the world’s most comfortable shoes, Allbirds

- Running myths to dispel

0:00.0	Welcome to Care More Be Better, a podcast for people like you who care about the social impact of conscious companies and everyday heroes.
0:09.7	Hear inspiring stories from those who put people in planet before profit and personal gain.
0:15.3	You'll learn how you can make a difference, vote with your dollars, and get involved today.
0:20.2	Here's your host, Karina Belizey.
0:25.3	Hello, fellow do-goaters and friends. It's me, your host, Corita Belizzi. And today I'm doing
0:32.0	something, again, different. I'm making a choice to be transparent with you about some challenges I've run into
0:39.6	over the years as a runner, as someone who actually decided that I was going to go for the effort
0:48.7	of becoming a Boston marathon finisher. I didn't know at the time that I started running as a fundraiser for
0:56.8	those who suffer from leukemia and lymphoma on behalf of my friend who had been diagnosed
1:02.1	with leukemia and who would ultimately lose his life to that struggle. I had not been a runner.
1:09.1	I was someone just trying to make a difference, make sense of my friend's predicament, and really just give him hope, a cheerleader, tackle my own challenges confronting cancer, and get out there and do something I'd never done before. I'd never been a runner.
1:28.9	And so I have a conflicted relationship with the entire thing that is running.
1:34.6	I was able to train for, complete, and then even become a distance athlete trainer for others

1:46.1	I was able to raise over $20,000 over the course of a few seasons.
1:51.5	That may not sound like a lot, but it was enough to fund half of a researcher for an entire year.
1:57.2	I know you have to hire a whole person, please.
2:03.4	But this was one of the ways that you further research and you further the science behind a really debilitating disease. And so because
2:10.2	the lovely Tina Muir does not necessarily have as much time as I would like her to have to come
2:15.5	and spend with me and interview on shows,
2:18.3	I'm going to share with you a really thought-provoking conversation that she and I had
2:25.1	on the Nutrition Without Compromise Podcast.
