Episode #325: Becoming a Sustainable Runner with Tina Muir and Zoë Rom

Running Rogue

For this episode, I am excited to interview Tina Muir and Zoë Rom about their new book Becoming a Sustainable Runner. The book talks about how to be a happy and healthy runner for a lifetime while also giving back to your community and your environment. In this conversation, we talk about:

• The importance of taking a long term view of your running journey
• Disconnecting your identity from your outcomes
• Acknowledging life's stressors and giving yourself grace
• Navigating the seasons of life and how your journey might evolve
• Measuring your progress on the things that matter
• Finding your community within the sport
• Taking the first steps in activism
• Creating sustainable running events and races
• Making good, environmentally-friendly choices for travel, shoes, and gear

Through the discussion, Tina and Zoë emphasize that it's not about achieving perfection but rather taking small incremental steps along the way. The book is out on August 15th. Go get yours!
