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.
Meet the guests:
Fernanda Maciel

   challenge
 * One time winner, nine time competitor in TDS Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc
 * Top 5 in SkyRunning World Championship

 * Her global campaign with Amnesty International calling on the Philippine
   government to ensure relocation of Super-Typhoon Haiyan survivors generated
   528,070 actions from around the world

Calls to action:
 1. Engage in COP26- read about climate change, learn about it, share about it,
    talk about it with people you know. The more we talk about it, the better.
    Check out the UN Foundation initiative sayitwithscience.org
    [https://www.sayitwithscience.org/](although remember we want to keep the
    humanity in with our education, facts don't always work)
 2. Consider empathy by proximity, how can you connect yourself to people who
    are going through this to get motivated to take action- donate to Marinel's
    Go Fund Me [https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-grassroot-climate-action] to
    support her journey and other front line climate activists
 3. Believe in and affirm the concept of individual accountability. Also believe
    that your actions can inspire others on a small or large scale (and be sure
    you take your trash with you when you leave natural environments!) 
 4. 1.

Running Realized Episode Two: The Coaching Conundrum

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.
