About this episode
This week we're highlighting the third section of Tina Muir and Zoë Rom's book, "Becoming a Sustainable Runner." We've shared chapters about sustaining your runner's mind and body and your running community ; in this episode, we'll look at sustaining the planet. In the "Be an Eco-Conscious Traveler" chapter, Tina and Zoë explain how you can develop a pro-environmental lens, consider the benefits of exploring closer to home, look at air travel options for the times that you do want to venture further afield, and offer suggestions that will help you find accommodations and eat in ways that are good for you and for the planet! To make traveling easier, we've created a Sustainable Packing Guide that you can download for free at https://runningforreal.com/runners-sustainable-guides/ . We also have Sustainable Runner's Guides to the New York City Marathon and the Chicago Marathon, which you can also find at https://runningforreal.com/runners-sustainable-guides/. The audiobook of Becoming a Sustainable Runner is available on Amazon , Audible and iTunes; the print version is available from all major booksellers and the ebook is available on Amazon .
