The Running for Real Podcast
Tina has been a podcast host for a decade; first on Runners Connect’s “Run to the Top,” then since 2017 on her own award-winning show, “Running for Real.” Inspiring interviews and deep friendships have come out of the experience, but now, she has decided, it’s time to move on.

Alex Hutchinson: Dream Big and Take Chances - R4R 437
The Running for Real Podcast
For many writers, the logical followup to a successful book is a sequel. For Alex Hutchinson, it was his reluctance to go down that path that led to his new book, "The Explorer’s Gene: Why We Seek Big Challenges, New Flavors, and the Blank Spots on the Map."
