The Shakeout Podcast: Why a 2:36 Marathoner Had to Break Up with Running to Get Pregnant
After nine years without a period, Tina Muir took a break from the sport to recover from amenorrhea and is now pregnant.
Subscribe to the Shakeout Podcast:
On this week’s podcast we chat with 2:36 marathoner Tina Muir. Her social media posts about her experience with amenorrhea– when a woman’s body shuts down her menstrual cycle- for nine years, drew widespread attention. Since then, she stepped aside from training at the elite level and focused on rest and recovery.
The exciting update is that Tina is now pregnant, in her third trimester, and has been working closely with women who are experiencing the same struggles with amenorrhea. We chat with her about her pregnancy, her relationship with running, and her work with Running for Real, a community that focuses on the honest struggles and setbacks that runners experience.
