Episode 092: Welcome back to Real Health Radio. It’s another guest interview episode of Real Health Radio and this week I’m speaking with Tina Muir.
Tina Muir is a 2:36 marathoner and Great Britain runner who recently shocked the running world by taking a hiatus to focus on starting a family and overcoming amenorrhea. Tina created the Running for Real Community to foster a healthy mindset around running. This is a space where runners can explore, embrace, and get better from setbacks through inspiring podcasts, videos, and blog posts, and most importantly, sharing thoughts and experiences. Running can really hurt, but we don’t have to go through it alone.
