  • Summary

  • We love to run. We love the running community. We love runners. But we also know there are some issues in our world that directly affect the sport that we love. Issues that need to be addressed. We want to understand what is happening and know what we can do to help uplift underrepresented genders, celebrate and include different cultures and backgrounds, and address the environmental impact of running. Running Realized is a space to explore, discuss and provide insight to create meaningful change. Join running industry voices Tina Muir and Knox Robinson as we tell stories, consult with experts, and search for actionable ways that we can all be a part of the solution. Our mission is to explore running culture as a vehicle to realize its full potential, and we want you to join us.

  • Bonus: Running and Climate Change with the United Nations Humanitarian Office

    Bonus: Running and Climate Change with the United Nations Humanitarian Office
    Nov 2 2021
    An exploration of how climate change is impacting the sport we love and what others are individually doing to change it. This bonus episode is a collaboration with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), for World Humanitarian Day (WHD) 2021 to bring awareness to the critical conversations happening right now. First, through the storytelling of Fernanda Maciel on how she left her job as an environmental lawyer and now annually creates her “white flow” campaigns; a combination of incredible feats of running to drive awareness and enact change focused on environmental sustainability. Next, a discussion with Marinel Ubaldo, a climate justice activist from the Philippines who tells the story of how the devastation of Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 impacted her community and the realities that global climate change is negatively impacting the world’s most vulnerable communities. Then, we’ll do a breakdown and call to action on how you can take immediate next steps on being an active participant in being a running climate activist.

  • Running Realized Episode Nine: The LGBTQ+ Runner Experience

    Running Realized Episode Nine: The LGBTQ+ Runner Experience
    Jun 21 2021

    First, through the storytelling of Ryan Montgomery, Queer Pro Ultra Runner, on how running has allowed him to explore and better understand himself. Second, a discussion with Chris Mosier, the first trans athlete to represent Team USA, on the past, present and future of advocacy for LGBTQ+ athletes. Then, a breakdown and call to action on how the listener can take immediate next steps on being an active participant in supporting LGBTQ+ runners.

    Meet the guests:

    Ryan Montgomery

    • Professional Ultra runner
    • Altra, 2XU, Suunto sponsored
    • Competing in 24hour World Championships in September for Team USA

    Chris Mosier

    • 1st Trans athlete to make men’s Team USA
    • Nike sponsored
    • Two time National Champion

    Calls to action:

    1. Listen to experiences and stories of LGBTQ athletes
    2. Think about the companies you are supporting through your purchases. Consider if they are rainbow washing to appear to be doing work without supporting LGBTQ+ organizations
    3. Have empathy towards athletes competing in olympics- we never know what is going on underneath
    4. Donate to transathlete.com and support all the work Chris is doing at the moment against anti-trans legislation across the country.
