Becoming A Sustainable Runner

Published: July 26, 2023, 4:01 a.m.

Improving your mind, your body, and the impact your have on the running community and the greater environment around you - these are the topics of conversation in today\u2019s episode with Tina Muir and Zoe Rom.

Their upcoming book - Becoming A Sustainable Runner - serves as a practical guide for runners of all abilities and backgrounds who want to better support their own endurance journey, and extend those lessons into meaningful environmental action.

Specifically, we discuss:

  • strategies to strive toward ambitious running goals while fostering a healthy sense of self-worth
  • the spectrum between self-sabotage and self-acceptance in running and the ways to land in the camp of self-acceptance more frequently throughout our running careers?
  • accepting who you are while still entertaining ambitions for growth
  • the major takeaways they\u2019ve discovered around reducing injury risk, strength training, and eating appropriately to be your best running self
  • their philosophy around imperfect environment activism
  • practical strategies for reducing our overall consumption and adopting a more sustainable lifestyle in the running community

Let\u2019s get into it!
