Who are you and why should I trust you?

Hi, I am Tina, the founder of Running for Real. I am a 2:36 marathoner, 1:13 half marathoner, and have run for Great Britain on the world level. While I have stepped away from elite running myself, I still want to do what I can to help others with their running goals.

In the 300+ Running For Real Podcast episodes I have hosted, along with listening to what runners like you want to know, I have been able to create these resources to make your journey as a runner a little easier. We all know its overwhelming to know what to do when there is conflciting advice. We hope Running For Real becomes the place you go for answers you can trust.
