Summary
Tina Muir and Zoë Rom’s book, "Becoming a Sustainable Runner," takes a three-pronged approach to sustainability. Part one, “Sustain Your Runner’s Mind and Body,” examines how runners can strengthen their entire being, including ways to increase self-confidence and practice mindfulness, run and cross train to reduce injury, and replenish themselves to keep running strong throughout their life.
This week’s podcast is a chapter from that section, “Bolster Your Confidence.” It’s excerpted from the audiobook, which is read by Tina, and examines ways to avoid self-sabotage, learn self-acceptance, practice self-compassion, and ditch comparisons, which are one of the biggest barriers to accepting ourselves.
The audiobook of "Becoming a Sustainable Runner" is available on Amazon, Audible and iTunes; the print version is available from all major booksellers and digitally through Amazon.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Running for Real, a global community with a shared love and curiosity for running. |
| 0:14.1 | Together, we reconnect with the reasons why we love to run and discover ways it helps |
| 0:21.6 | us become better people. |
| 0:23.6 | Whether it's the quiet moments of a morning run while the rest of the world still sleeps, |
| 0:27.8 | or befriending the strangers next to you at the start line of a race, we are here to connect |
| 0:32.7 | with others who see running as the common thread that leaves our lives together. Come join me, |
| 0:38.0 | Tina Muir, as I talk with people from all walks of life, united by a love of running. |
| 0:47.4 | Hello my friends, guess what today is an exciting day, something I've been waiting to share with |
| 0:52.4 | you for months and I finally am able to. Today you are going to get to hear chapter two from |
| 0:57.6 | becoming a sustainable runner, the audio version that you can go get yourself a copy of after |
| 1:03.5 | you listen to this chapter. We wanted to share with you a few sample chapters so that you could |
| 1:08.2 | kind of get the gist for the three sections within the book. Now this is obviously in the first |
| 1:13.1 | section, sustain your runner's mind and body. We chose this chapter intentionally and I hope |
| 1:18.4 | you're really going to enjoy it. Once you listen to this, you can head on over to audible if you're |
| 1:22.5 | a first time audible member. By the way, I'm not being paid to say this. If you're a first time |
| 1:27.1 | audible member, you can get the book for free and then I think it'll be five, 95 a month after |
| 1:32.1 | that, especially if you click the link in the show notes. I know that is the case. However, I'm not |
| 1:36.7 | suggesting that you do something else. If you do want to make a different choice after you've |
| 1:41.4 | listened to the book, feel free to do that. If you are not a fan of audible, do not want to use |
| 1:48.0 | audible. You can also check it out on Google Play and there's another link in the show notes audiobooks.com. |
| 1:53.7 | Leave that's the link. Whatever the link is in the show notes, you can go check it out there |
| 1:57.2 | if you want to go use an alternative. Now, you are going to get to hear the actual audio version. |
